Thanks for all your comments.

"of its kind" get out clause! I've seen your dragon - you are no beginner sculptor, this mini shows it!
Thanks! It's true I've done some sculpting and conversions before.
My projects to date are:
Mumak head sculpture (conversion)
Haradrim raider conversion
Ent (Fangorn's fury)
2 Hobbit holes
Dragon (wip)
King of the Dead conversion.
So I accept your challenge on what might be false modesty on my part and my 'get out clause'. However, in terms of converting a small figure, I've never done so much work!
The work on the larger models has helped me learn more about sculpting. I've tried to increase the level of detail in each project. The King of the Dead conversions are the next step in a process of learning new skills. I plan to make the conversions more and more extreme - taking away more of the original model each time and then adding more in its place. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike with stabilizers. Eventually I'll take off the stabilizers and sculpt a mini from scratch. But I'm not ready for that yet.
