Another distraction

So been struggling for motivation to get on with any of my big projects (Skaven, Squats, Eldar, Orc n Goblins or dwarfs). The Free mini Friday challenged was a fun little project and I really liked using cork for the base and really wanted to do something with it again. When I was looking for a mini to send for the Free Mini Friday I came across a very old project I started years ago. Basically it was another conversion of the Gimli on pony I used for my bridge diorama. I found the pony but couldn't find the rider I had started to convert but luckily had another spare. So decided this would be ideal for a nice cork base and here we are !

So for those who haven't seen my first mock up from my question regarding snow here you go.

Started painting the base this evening.

Vision is a snowy rock face with stoic dwarf on pony. The next step will be to convert Gimli. Also ordered some snow so hopefully it looks good and I can get that added to the base.

So a quick mock up before work. Started work on the rider but have realised I'm missing one half of my Tamiya Putty so had to order some more!

Coming together nicely. I really like the freehand on the pony's saddle pad. I find I personally always forget I don't have to "paint within the numbers" when doing models and can add my own details. So it's lovely seeing other people do it, hopefully one day it'll sink in and I'll brave going off piste myself!
