My Latest LOTR Addition. My Precious....

[customizerwannabe]

No dremel!!! Way too risky. I'd lighten the hair. Maybe a little of his flesh tones on a few strands would thin it. It's an awesome paint job and overeall piece. The SS piece can't hold a candle to it.

My recommendation is to follow the advice regarding lightening the hair color with some flesh tones to better blend in and use the SS/Weta Smeagol bust as a reference. In my opinion, that is still the best rendition of the little bugger.

Some excellent suggestions all around.Yes the overwhelming concensus seems to be avoid the dremeling and alter up with paint...which is what I am going to do. May take awhile but I will post a new photo or two once it is finished.

I don't mind the hair too much, I think everything on that looks great. Great addition to any collection, congrats.

Get him off the Rogaine and he'll be in good shape

With your talent, perhaps you would like to try making those figures or even environments that SSW have failed to do.

I wonder if you like him.. but I sorta like the way Denethor look when he is about to burn himself on the stake, with all the oil over head.... stretching his arms. Classic.

I particularly like the way he says, "Bring wood and oil."

I would love to take the credit for this, but the true artist here is John Allred [www.herebemonsters.org]. The Gollum statue is actually a resin model kit that is available called "Guide to the Black Gate". I did ask John if he could add a reflection in the water, but everything else was him.

Yes, it's too bad the SS Weta partnership ended the way it did. There is still so much that should be done.

BTW...if you want to see what a real diorama looks like check out his website and see what he did with his ML and Eowyn statues! Unbelievable!!
