About Weta Workshop Hobbit Prop Replica Dwalins Axes
Weta Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again with The Hobbit Trilogy, contributing design, specialty props and specialty costumes to all three films. Weta Workshop's authentic prop replicas are made by the very same artists and technicians who work on our movies, using the same techniques and materials. A dwarf warrior of great renown among his people, Dwalin the Dwarf, son of Fundin, was proficient with arms of all kinds. But when laying blows swiftly and against many adversaries at close quarters, he liked nothing better than the two single-handed axes he wore crossed upon his back. Named Ukhlat and Umraz, the short-hafted axes were simple in shape, wide in blade and heavy in head. Upon their broad faces their Khuzdul names were carved in runes. Dwalins Axes were created for the film by the artists at Weta Workshop. Incredibly tough, yet safer than sharpened steel blades, they have been finished to a standard that can confidently be displayed in 3D, high resolution, at 48 frames per second in the finished movie.These prop replicas have been created from molds of the original weapons used in the film, using the same high impact urethane material as the props on set, and finished using the same techniques and materials. Richard Taylor, Special Effects Supervisor at Weta Workshop explains the use of urethane.
