Thank you Peter! I've just been researching their costumes on line (for the millionth time Wink ) to see what material I can give to one without depriving it from another since I'm only using what I have in my bags of stuff. Doing so, I went on the Wetta official web site for their statues and of course they have 12 of the 13 Dwarves in 1/6 statues (they call them figures, odd..they still haven't made a Fili), anyway my point was that even with all the backing they have and access to images and footage we'll never see, their facial likenesses of the Dwarves are way off compared to yours!! I thought you'd be chuffed to know that and I certainly feel lucky that you took my commissions especially as you had done them before. Here's a link so you can see for yourself if you haven't already. Just scroll down, it should be set to The Hobbit 'figures' if not you can choose that filter.

Thought I had the shoulder pads sorted by using that cut off piece of a 1/6 Frodo corduroy coat but then realised the bloody lines were all facing the wrong way! They need to be at a 90 degreeish angle from the black lines to be stitched over them as shown in the close up pic. So I had to take that piece all apart and reconnect loads of little segments into a circular shape with the lines of the material all facing the other way, then cut to shape, add the very thin foam, the black T-shirt material and fold it over to make the borders. I also painted the corduroy with red ink as it was too brown; I still need to stitch a gazillion black lines to complete the look before I can attach it. I also fixed a couple of mistakes in the gold geometric pattern on the main robe using acetone free nail polish remover, then gave all the patterns' edges a 'shadow' of darker berry red marker to make them more 3D. Looks a bit Art Deco but I like it.

Since your work is so consistent and constant, I tend to take your posts for granted.

That is my shortcoming. I should not do that.

Thanks for showing us the builds. I love every post, though I might not always say it.

Thanks guys! I'm just so glad people bother to follow my WIP threads and you guys kindly keep up the comments! Very Happy

Been sewing since 4am, nearly done with the shoulder pads, stitched all the borders too.
Oh and finally found enough hooks and loops for his main robe by going through all my figures spare clothing, 1/6 seem to only have poppers and Velcro but found these hooks on a few 1/4 Obi-Wan Kenobi (ANH) Jedi outer robes.

For future reference (but, you probably already know it), these are standard women's dress hooks. Available almost everywhere that sells needles and thread...on-line by the millions and cheap.

Okay I think I've finished all his sewing and clothing at last! cheers  Still got his boots to finish, make his weapon and add some final details like studs to his under shirt and main robe etc..
First pics are of the shoulder pads completed but not yet sewn in place, then I gave him a belly and hooks for his main robe, last pics are after the final sewing and clasps and belt attached.

Thank you Peter! That gold pattern still bugs me but without even a flattened/2D picture of it for reference I can't make hide nor hair of it, it's just too complicated for my little brain! I suck at maths! Wink should blend in okay when displayed with all the others...so much more work to do..

peter the painter


The pattern looks pretty convincing to me, anyhow the overall look stands very well indeed.

Done his articulation as I almost forgot! And nearly finished his boots, need weathering and the silver caps still.

Thank you very much Roger! They were a pain in the neck to lace though, especially as I used rolled paper string that's used to tie Transformers to their clamshell packaging! LOL. Used bits of a coffee drum peal back seal to make the silver toecaps. All done now except for affixing the head and adding a little bit of light grey to the hair/beard etc.. and making his glaive. Might make that when I need to use black milliput for other stuff too as it's a pain to clean up (tools, hands etc..).
