I broke out the green stuff and started sculpting. I started with the nickers and worked my way up. The shirt was easy, but he looked sort of plain so I added a vest. At first it looked like he was wearing a life vest, but since hobbits don't swim, I removed a bit of green stuff and reworked it.

With the mistake on adding extra green stuff on the front, I did not add any so it moved along much quicker.

Next I took a straight pin and forged my little new little adventurer a 1/72 version of "Sting". If anyone would like to have me explain the "forging" process, it is easy to do and gives consistent results.

Just to be complete I included a shot from behind with the added sword. It may be overkill, but once the camera is set up snapping extra shots is pretty easy.
