Hi, Guys !

Here’s Beorn, the skin-changer.
I‘m very, very pleased, with the outcome. I hope you like it too !?

Recipe :

Upper body/head is from a „great Khali-figure. Cut off the nose and lips and removed a little bit of the hair, then resculpted the whole head; closed one separation of the pecs and added some scars.

Since the 6“-Beorn-prototype, from bridgedirect, which was never released eventually, was barefoot, (which makes more sense to me, than him wearing boots) I’ve attached the hip/legs from an big jim, which thighs and lower legs, I‘ve shortened and dremeled down the widths.

The fur on his back, is removable, to avoid a stupid looking hunch, when he‘s wearing the tunic.

Fitted trousers from big jim, as well. Waistband made of an rubber glove.
The tunic tailored from a fabric-sample.
Belt made of a stripe, from a hoodie-lining. Buckle made of brass wire.

The axe is sculpted from scratch.

Hope you like it, guys !

Very nicely done especially the jacket, yeah it would make more sense bootless. I’d love to see someone do a bear custom. The issue is it would have to be bigger than wargs probably fave troll size almost which is a massive undertaking.awesome work as usual can’t wait to see your Fimbul!

I keep stopping and starting projects, there’s been a few here and there I posted but been too busy with life for this hobby lately. I’ve had 4 armoured orcs half done for a year, a few random ones, a big project that’s been stopped and started since Bag End, a load of Elderscroll figures and dioramas, an update to my lego Hogwarts which has been demolished and slowly being rebuilt, random stuff and yeah just got too much planned with no results lol

Can't wait to see your Fimbul! I'm not working on any LOTR/Hobbit stuff (actively) at the moment. I still haven't Finished my Dwalin, Bofur, Bifur or Oin... I need to get on that! I also started an armored Thranduil that I never finished. Mostly I'm working on non-middle earth related stuff. You're holding it down for us, though!!

Hey, Edgy ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! 🙏🏻 I‘m happy, that you like it that much. Awesome that you recognized and mentioned the belt. I really wanted it’s structure to be, as much movie-accurate, as possible, but it took forever to find the right material. Perfectionism is a bi... t annoying.

I hope you and your beloved ones are well !?

Kind regards from close to the Oktoberfest ! 🍻
