So the second to last Dwarf I'm posting of the company is Ori. What I'm finding each time I make another Dwarf is not only their cultural backgrounds and design but how each Dwarf works like a proper party member in an RPG which of course is logical it's just when you think about the Fellowship they are more sort of just classes of combatents whereas with the Dwarves they all have roles like: cook, scribe, navigator or healer. Ori is the third brother in the family of Dori Nori and Ori, the youngest of the company also I believe it is stated. Naive but willing to embark on a grand adventure he might at times seem silly and dim but his loyalty shows throughout especially to his brothers. Next time you watch the Trilogy pay attention to one Dwarf for the film and focus on where they are and what they are doing and you will see what I mean.

I made this one out of a coronation Gimli of course (what did he ever do to us? Haha) as it's practically perfect in this instance as Ginmankey has already demonstrated. I used Rohan armour Merry arms and whittled his gloves down so I could make the woolly gloves over them and have a sleeve go over the base of them. I also used the legs from the same figure but the boots from Orc armour Frodo as they work well when the Heels on the Eowyn boots are added. I used Pippins head a selfie I saw potential in it. I swapped his nose with a Gimli one and then sculpted the bridge, eyebrows, mini stache, beard, hair and stuck on the braids from the Gimli's beard carefully removed. Also I used fodder ears. I sculpted buttons and used the same Frodo belt but of course did the buckle. The dagger was made from scratch and has the dwarvish F shaped rune on the top. I made a book of Marzabul out of an Evil Dead Ash figures Necranomicon. I sculpted the khuzdul words onto the front and inside I inscribed: "they are comming" for when Gandalf finds it in Moria. This book is my own take in design though I'd like to do the actual one when I get a chance. The sling shot is just an arrow cut in half then bent and both pieces whittled then rejoined and a bit of fodder rubber plastic for the sling. He was a lot of fun to make and I don't think the pictures do it justice as I feel he regally looks like Adam Brown in person. Anyways here's the usual pics with Jerry the Barrel, but you'll have to wait for the usual company shot as I have somethings in the work.
