Minas Tirith! The Great White City. . . City of Kings. . . Capital of Gondor. . . Matchstick Marvels will be taking you on another fantastic journey when Acton builds a model of J.R.R. Tolkien's City of Kings from the Lord of the Rings trilogy! Come along for a trip to Middle Earth and its Great White City, Minas Tirith, which is said to tower 1700 feet above the Pelennor Fields in the land of Gondor. Acton's plans call for his biggest and most detailed model yet as he constructs a model of the tremendously ancient city that Tolkien says "appears hewn from the rock of Mount Mindolluin" in the White Mountains. Acton's matchstick version of the seven-level city was started in February of 2007. The Minas Tirith model will contain hundreds of city buildings and will be topped with the Tree of Gondor and the White Tower of Etchelion. Updates and pictures of Acton's model will be posted on this page as construction of the model progresses during the next two years.
