Otherwise known as the eyeliner army! They briefly showed up in The Two Towers during the segment where Frodo and Sam are falling down the hill towards the black gates. The army marching and almost noticing Frodo, are the Easterlings.

The Mighty Judy and AJ conceived these costumes, both the idea to do them and the techniques nessesary to carry them out as well as a good brunt of the work! They were done with casting and vaccuumforming as well as a few other things that AJ and Judy learned specifically to do this project. Our group included AJ, Judy, Cheryll, Annie and I and well all helped out with making peices, riveting and painting and sewing. :) There are over 500 peices or so total in our 5 costumes!

Most people thought we were men, much to our amusement. We had a blast. :)
