"Daniel explains the choice of paper: The Map is made on 190gsm Rough S&W watercolour paper. A lovely surface for painting, with a nicely random tooth. Care must be taken when doing calligraphy on this surface, as the texture can easily catch the nib, or guide it in unintended directions!" Daniel then commences the process of breaking down' the map. Breaking down is the art of giving the prop believability. Adding a history to it and making it look real Daniel painstakingly applies every crease and every wrinkle by hand, 'distressing' the paper to achieve an authentic looking prop replica The reverse of the map is coloured black, except for the outlines of the famous Moon Runes that play a part in the story. This allows you to see the runes when the map is held up against the light or framed with back lighting. Each individual map is the work of one man and totally unique Daniel Reeve's craft is indeed a rare one and this is a prop replica the likes of which are few and far between. Available in strictly limited supply and always subject to the artist's availability, Thorin's Map will be shipped direct from Weta in New Zealand and includes a printed Certificate of Authenticity."
