What in the Sam Hill?

My fourth sculpt (and first of the hobbits) was Samwise Gamgee. I started with Sam because I was still working out my ideas for Frodo, yet I wanted to at least get a "Hobbit" scale model to compare to the others for size.

Sam comes with backpack, water skin, pots, pans, etc. He is fighting ready with his sword and skillet! See the earlier concept sketch post for a full idea of the pose.

I am looking to start molding and casting Sam in the next batch of models I take to completion.

Sam stands at 8" inches tall.
