Thank you very much Peter! I'm so sorry you had to see a lot of your hard and excellent work destroyed by me . The sculpted hair v real hair thing is just a feeling I get for a character during the build process and even if I decide to go with real hair your sculpt of the hair is still a brilliant guide and foundation for me to work from. I think the most likely candidates for the real hair conversion are the long haired or long bearded characters although I felt no need to modify Balin's beard as he has short hair so it didn't hamper his head articulation. I'll be giving Fili, Kili and Thorin real long hair but I think all the others are safe from my meddling! I want Bilbo to have messier hair so not 100% sure what I'm going to do there yet but got some ideas.
