Base Figure:Will Turner Dead Man's Chest Disney Store Exclusive
Height:6.50 inches
Completion Time:8.00 hours
Articulation:16 points
Critiques:Requested!
My first custom ever! I used a Will Turner Dead Man's Chest Disney Store Exclusive as the base and used Milliput to sculpt the lower pants and boots. I also used it to smooth out the upper tunic and add fur around the coat and cuffs.The coat and lower tunic or kilt, come from the "Strider" LotR figure.

I added cheeks, a different nose, and a wider forehead to the face. While I wasn't super happy with the likeness, I think the whole thing came together when painted!

Aaah, sorry ! Just read it... you work on the dwarfs ! Great ! I'm really looking forward to ! If you provide them with that much likeness, as you did to Bard...you could make two of each and sell those to me.
So funny ...we both share a very similar
story, how we came to customizing...

Congrats for your first figure ! That's one impressive level you've started on ! Your concerns 'bout the likeness, were for no reason, imo. You did an EXCELLENT work on the face ! I love it ! Any further Tolkien-based figures planed ? I'd be happy to see more ! Keep me informed, if so !
Regards !
