Well, this is quite something, I suppose. It’s apparently* a scene from the battle of Helms Deep, which is from The Two Towers, by that Tolkien chap.  It’s made from cardboard, glue, icing and a whole lot of candy:

It clocked in at about 7 feet long by 3 feet deep by 2 feet tall. We used over 500 Gummy Bears as orcs and Uruk-Hai.  The Elves, Dwarves and Men were represented by sour patch kids. Most of these were of course corpses.

* The whole Lord of the Rings thing has rather passed me by, so I can’t verify this. 

Hat tip (as I believe we say) to Mia for alerting me to this – and apologies for not crediting you earlier.

    It’s impressive, I imagine I’d be fit for battle too after all that sugar.

    Hi Mia,
    Remind me not to put you in charge of feeding the troops before they go into battle.
    Oh, and sorry for not crediting you earlier.

    Hehe, it’s not bad, if a tad colourful! How could you have let the whole Lord of the Rings pass you by? The films will blow you away!
