Beorn the Bear

hi, i'm new to this site. i've been collecting for years now since FOTR came out, but i work v-e-e-e-r-y slowly. anyway this is just something i'd like to show you guys.

it's bear- beorn modified to have more in common with man-beorn. the original GW sculpt to me just looks like an ordinary bear. so i added some facial hair to the bear.

will be posting more pics later on. as of right now, i'm just waiting for the greenstuff to cure.

I think that is pretty awesome!!

I see what you did there! Really clever idea. I too think the bear model is lacking somewhat. Well done! I look forward to seeing him painted up and with his human counterpart!

Nice addition with the green stuff. I will be interested to see it when painted to get the full effect.

thanks guys! this is what i'm aiming for.
the pic below is a design from weta, but i don't know if it was the final design or just concept art.

we hardly get a good look at beorn in bear mode in DOS, so i don't really know what he looks like.

will be posting more pics of man and bear beorn soon!
i'm really hoping to see some major mauling in film 3!

That is a very clever enhancement of the mini - well done!

Excellent, that is what I call a bear full of anger. Isn't it funny how a little bit added has made so much difference to this figure.
This alteration must be a must for anyone buying this figure, big praise mate.

thanks bro.
hair in the right places makes all the difference. just ask the dwarves!

I have to admit, that I am not a big fan of the look of Beorn's bearshape as GW shaped it, but you've done a fantastic job! Love it!

He looks like the man form.

that was the look i was trying to get, so both beorn forms have a visual connection.

I'm amazed how such a small alteration created such a large improvement! Well done!
