The thing is, we aren't going to go for PJ's designs just because they had experts working on it. Sure, I greatly appreciated the movies and it was all really great, but Mevans and the mod team don't really care.

When we're adding something we go for our own designs based on the book first, if that fails or looks wrong then we MAY get inspiration from the movies. If we don't like it, or think it won't fit, then we do own work. You forget that this is Mevans' work, and he clearly doesn't want to use BotFA designs for Mirkwood Elven armour. Why? Because it won't fit within the mod, it won't look particularly nice.
