I won't take any orders for this because a) my mother-in-law recut the jackets. She has since returned to her home 8000 miles away. I don't have a clue how to do that stuff. b) those I did it for had to wait a loooooooooooong time before I was able to get them done. c) the dye job is really easy if you just take a saturday afternoon to do it.

I'll post a tutorial on the dye work later today (or tomorrow).

Re: Pippin LOTR Listed Added

I'm interested in that dying tutorial pixletwin! I have an extra Frodo and Sam, and I want to dye their clothing like you did. So that they'll be ready for the Merry and Pippin head sculpts after I get the from zkulptor. Thanks for posting that tutorial! :wave

That's so cool! Thanks very much, man! :clap

(Also, any chance you could tell us specifically which Frodo/Sam bits were turned into which Merry/Pippin bits?)

You might want to add the "recipe" for Bilbo while you're at it. In case anyone decides to do the extra dye work for the custom Bilbo.

Re: Pippin LOTR Listed Added

...or in case Erick does a Bilbo in scale to the Sideshow hobbit heads...ray:

Re: Pippin LOTR Listed Added

The TB Bilbo headsculpt is great. :lecture

The TB Bilbo headsculpt is great. :lecture

And it works perfectly to scale with the SS hobbit body.

Re: Pippin LOTR Listed Added

Here is my Bilbo in case anyone is curious:

The recipe was made by thenammagazine. :rock

From behind. The TB Red Book of Westmarch and the bag also make great accesories.

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Re: Pippin LOTR Listed Added

It's much smaller than the Sideshow hobbit heads, though. And I find mine barely squeezes onto the SS hobbit neck. The neck articulation is non-existent; the battle is just to get it attached and sitting at the right level.

Re: Pippin LOTR Listed Added

Weird. Mine looks in scale to me and putting it on the SS Hobbit body wasn't that difficult. To each his own though. :rock
