One of the first customs I made, but never finished, was the Gondorian ranger. I am capable of doing it now, six years later.
I added hair, for his fronthead was very large.
The quiver I enhanced and added arrows + some flaps. The length of the quiver was in now way right for a realistic arrow, reaching an armslength, so I added a backplate. With two metal hooks, it can be hung and taken of easy from the backstrap.

He needed a cape with hood, so I made one from cloth. The strap of the quiver needs to go through it on the right, so I made a hole, strengthened with an iron ring. The belt snaps on and of with a small push-button.

Since they survive in the wild, he needed a hunting knife. I made one from plastic and created a hilt from a piece of (fake) leather. The metal hard parts are cardboard painted over.

And, of course, he needed a bow, which the original figure did not have (!).

The sword hilt of this figure got somehow warped due to being old, so I had to make another one from scratch. I used cardboard and painted this. The circle is a metal part, the lines are cardboard too.

The figure is loaded with details, so I gave him a total repaint, bringing out all of the details.
To finish it all, he got a facemask, being a strip of cloth cut in a triangular shape.

A lengthy series of pics can be found in my flickr account.

Finally I want to spread teh word of a new website which is dedicated solely to Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit toys.
lotrtoyarchive is the keyword.
