Please: I need a close-up pic of the front of the Gondorian helmet

[Lannister]

Hello,

It would be so nice, if anyone could help me:
I am a hobby-modeler and right now i am in need of a close-up Pic of the Gondorian Soldiers helmet to use in texturing.
The model is already done, however i really suck at texturing and so I thought of using a Pic of the movies. However I need a picture which isn`t from the side or similar it has to be straight front.

I serached through the Internet but cannot seem to fina a fitting one.

So maybe one of you guys who has the Extended edition of the Two Towers can capture me such a shot from the scene in Osgiliath.

Please, I really need your help.

Thanks in advance,
L.

I'll take a look around for you, however I'd recommend buying the Lord of the Rings Weapons and Warfare book by Chris Smith. It would have what your looking for and more.

Ahh here we go.

Thanks.

However I already have these Pics.
The main Problem is that I need a picture which is straight from the front with minimal deviation to one side, if possible, so as if the person who wears the helmet looks straight into the camera.

Alas, I believe there is no such pic.


Thanks again,
L.

Online it appears not. The book however does have a picture of what your looking for, its smallish (about three inches high) but would probably work for you.

Which one do you mean ?

IMHO there is not one where there is a direct Front view of one of the Soldiers helmets.

I found this (http://shop.decipher.com/Images/CardImages/LOTR-EN07103.jpg) picture only...
It's about from the front, but not very detailed...

[Lannister]

Hey Man thanks a lot that pic is very good.

Now if it were just a little closer and higher detailed.


Cheers again,
L.

Umm.. closer... and higher detailed...
Check this one (http://www.councilofelrond.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=My_eGallery&file=index&do=showpic&pid=2740&orderby=titleA) ... ;)
However, he is one of the guardians of the White Tree, so he has got some odd wings on the side of his helmet...

Thank you,
this Pic I already have, There really seems to be a shortage of Pics of Gondorian Helmets.
I have all kind sof different Pics of Armour but only few are shots of the Gondorian Soldiers ! helmet.

The picture I'm refering to can be found in the book I mentioned. It shows the helmet (empty and on its own) from the front and his about three inches tall in size. Check amazon or similar sites if you're interested in the book.

Look I see that you do not believe me however, I own the book in German. It was a present by my fiancee .
You mean the one where the cuirass is on the right side right.
But thi pic is not straight from the front but a little from above

I mean the one on page 153, indeed the cuirass is on the right side of the page. Its certainly the best shot from the front of the helmet I've seen. However you know best what you need. :)
