Statue Gimli Maquette

[The Ween]

Thanks for the great review, Josh! And thanks also to everyone that has said such nice things about this piece. It really was a labor of love, and much blood, sweat, and swears went into its making, and it's nice to have it so appreciated.

Tim...Tim...TIMMAY!!!

Good job!

Very great review Josh!

Very great review Josh!

Thank ya! Writing a review when a statue is this is pretty easy. I do truly mean it when I say that. This statue is really that well done for me anyways.

 

[dragon_around]

it's not a hole, it's the eyebrow just facing downward on mine.

Why only the one eyebrow then?

 

[wizard0fdragons]

Hello dragon_around,

Mine is the same, its not a fault on your Gimli. However I have reported to SS and image sent that the tip of the Orc on mine is chipped when you look at this from the top from the side it look fine. Awaiting for their confirmation.

Gimli Review

josh i cringe everytime you put your statues under direct sunlight like that but thanks for the nice review love those high res pictures.

Looks like the hole in the eyebrow is part of the sculpt and everyone has it, so i can rest easy now

I actually love the dead orc addon more than the gimli itself, is that wrong lol

 

[The Josh]

It's all good. They're only outside for just a few moments so it shouldn't cause any problems. No problem! Thanks for the kind words.

The dead Orc was a great addition and really sets off the piece.

Speaking of the dead orc, I don't remember if it's been asked before but how come his tunic is blue not red? Just curious.

The Tunic on the proto and production is the same.

The Tunic on the proto and production is the same.

Yes, but he means it should be red like the moria orcs wore.

I got ya. Not a big deal to me and something that doesn't hurt this piece at all.

Congrats Bill!

I don't think it looks bad just wondering if there were actually any goblins with the blue tunic or if it was just creative license. Maybe Tim could answer?

 

[The Josh]

I would assume like the line it takes a bit of creative licensing.

No idea. I'll have to go back and watch FOTR, but I'm fairly certain there wasn't a uniform of the day or dress code for the orcs. Most of the Moria orcs had armor that looked as if it had been cobbled together from carious fallen foes. As far as creative license, it MAY have been decided to go with blue to offset all of the browns and reds on Gimli.

 

[The Josh]

Thanks Tim! I can roll with all that.

 

[spy-d]
