I wasn't kidding when I said I have loads of Hobbit Customs in the works, here's one of them. Lord Dain rides in on his war boar terrifying the army of men. The War Boar has a helmet with two spiked ears at the front, two pieces of armour with a sharp blade on either side of its flank and an armoured seat for the rider. Why do I feel like Mason Verger would love this. Anyway moving swiftly on. I will add more photos of the making of this later as it was quite difficult. The base body was a Boromir figure, spiderman legs and arms and these were just the bare bones skeleton. Everything you see is hand sculpted from either miliput or plastic, the exception being the reigns, some straps and the leather bits that go under the armour but some of that was sculpted also. The tail was an Aragorn pouch bow. Quite a challenge but 1 I couldn't find any pig or Boar toys big enough and 2 I don't like the idea of just using a statue when the actual thing that Toybiz would have made if they were in business still and had the Hobbit licence to make figures would have been articulated and detailed. You can also see the Elk I have been putting off posting for ages because I was half finished with it about a year ago then didn't post it as I put it adduce for a long while. I'm still working on that Elk so it will be posted later. Anyways here's the Boar. Dain of course I made years ago so you've already seen him and if you haven't feel free to check him out on my profile. Dain I feel is possible the first custom I was proud of that fell into a complete sculpting and articulating nightmare if a job to get him to work properly. Recently I looked into adding some chain mail but both cloth and plastic didn't really work and was too cumbersome under the red kilt I provided already. I also used varnish on the tusks, teeth, snout and eyes as this adds life-like features to highlight realism. Hope you all like!

Yeah Dain I posted years ago, have a look on my profile I also gave him an axe and one of the Dwarf rings of power. Some of my earlier less background orientated scene work

I remember your Dain, it looked Sharp then and still does. Gave it 5 stars and it should have placed higher in that contest! People can tend to vote what they deem popular rather than by skill and work put into a custom. I'm a big Tolkien fan and do have some LOTR customs planned in the future but here it's defiantly not as popular as Marvel customs. The customs done by you and the few others puts a smile on this Middle Earth fans face!

Thanks! yeah o didn't expect to win it but I was like really some of the ones voted higher simply because they're marvel or popular xD I remember when pint sized hero contest came out like a day after I posted Dwalin for example that might have won haha but didn't see the contest in time.

Might not be a bad idea for someone to do a Tolkien/Middle Earth Contest, could stir up some interest with folks when they do research for a character.

I will try to get one worked up today or tomorrow, I believe it's time for a LOTR Contest. Not sure if I'll manage it though, don't know what all entails with managing a contest.

Yeah not even sure what type to do other than just say: hey realm we tolkienites are bored of mainstream contests or feel it's worth giving some time to recognise the Tolkienverse here and present a challenge of either something specific or just make someone we haven't seen before or just submit something from Tolkien be that book, film, game, or art related.

Thanks. You should have a look at some of my other customs like Thorin in Royal armour. I've got several more planned and some almost finished.

Yeah I spent ages getting it right, had to redo the head length by cutting the head in half elongating it then fill in the gaps.
