When I first moved to Lewisville, Texas, Auto Pin Striping Lewisville TX I had never seen the car-pinstriping town depicted in The Lord of the Rings. However, upon visiting for a visit, I was very impressed with their car-pinstriping and even better with their training methods, as I saw first hand how they made a pretty good imitation of Middle Earth.
In case you have not read the book or seen the movie, this car-pinstriping process is like what is depicted in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. The book describes the process in detail, and you can find out more information at CarpetMiningCompany.com. Here is the outline of the process as described in The Lord of the Rings book, The Fellowship of the Ring:
The Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins arrives in Mordor, the Dark World where Gollum waits to ambush Frodo and the others. To escape Gollum, Frodo and Sam engage in a race through Mordor, covered by the Ring, and they ultimately reach the end of the Lower Circling. As they make their way through the Lower Circling, Gollum chases them through tunnels until they finally reach the Mouth of Sauron. This is where Gollum is defeated by Frodo and the others, and they set out on the road to Rivendell. Here is where Gollum falls from the Lure of the Ring and becomes corrupted by it.
The Two Towers: As the Fellowship make their way to Helm's Deep in order to destroy the One Ring, Gandalf, Gandalf's chief advisor, sets up a distraction so that the other three Fellowship members do not see Gandalf and the others trap the Balrog. While the Balrog is being destroyed, Gandalf and the others are saved by Gandalf's power of mind over Gollum, and Gandalf uses Gollum to destroy the Ring with a spear, while its Ringwraiths fall into the depths of Mount Doom. The quest has now been completed, and the Fellowship returns to the Shire.
