Nori, Nori, Nori.. what a stupid design. How does the hair even do that?! Obviously, this is not my favorite dwarf design in the Hobbit films. However, this turned out to be pretty fun to make after all.

Also pardon my pics. Got a new light setup and I'm still working out the kinks. And I do plan to finish his staff thingie but I was too excited to post him!

I wouldn't worry lol. It's better to take your time making them as best as you can and not rush them even if it's an hours difference, it's why I forgot the fingerless gloves because I finished at 1am and was like oh I need to post this now lol. My first Dwarf is 2 years older than my other ones lols though my production did increase at some point this year around when you joined and got me in the mood for finishing some more and then I ended up making plans for the complete set xD. So it is true we all inspire each other. It's a shame we can't really enter the contest for: "make a line", as we've already posted more than two lol!

The bulk was an absolute nightmare. I'm finding that to achieve the proper bulk and proportions, I'm having to do exactly what the costume and prosthetics people had to do for the movies. Moving the waists lower, thicker legs and feet, widening the heads (especially the ears), etc. It's crazy but it works. Thanks for the feedback!!!

Great Job! You nailed that Crazy....Dwarf-Wolverine looking Hair! You also whipped up those wicked eyebrows! Nori stealing a line from Gimli with his own twist "Not the Hair!"

HA! thanks! What an "interesting" design that hair is ! I'm just glad he wasn't one of the A-Team dwarves and mostly relegated to the background.

AMAZING headsculpt, Grinmankey ! Kudos to you ! I love this figure ! Great work, man !
Haha, well the hair. Just imaging how he gets this hair-do fixed each morning on that adventurous journey to Erebor, muha haha !
I guess he‘d secretly carried a vidal sassoon-book with him, all the time.

Congrats and regards !

Danke shoen, Staley! I appreciate the compliment! I'm sure that he and his brother Dori spent an inordinate amount of time fussing over each other's hair every morning. either that, or Vidal Sassoon! Thanks again!

THANKS Edgy!! man, that stupid hair. trying to wrap my brain around the "anatomy" of the hair was a challenge. I'm still not sure I get it, but there it is.

Literally was about to post mine xD I'm all finished but I'm sculpting the stupidly complicated pattern on his vambracer parts of his gloves. I've done the staff and the twin knives but he also has a hidden knife on one of his back legs or something xD I used Gandalf the whites head, imma have to do the waiting a few days thing like you did when we did Gloin's hahaha. Yeah I was wondering about your staff there's like 2 spikes on each face all around making it 8 spikes xD
Nice job!

Thanks D! I skipped sculpting the vambraces entirely! Yeah, his design is more complicated than it seems at first glance. Can't wait to see yours!!
