Project Hobbit, Phase 2

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.

Next to prime and paint the little guy but that will be another blog entry.  Thanks for reading...
