One of the things I like about the new goblin construction is the head, ears, and shoulders. I wanted to do an orc with a similar type construction, but in order to make the figure human sized, I would need to use the milk bottle construction method. I combined the two and here is what I came up with.
Turned out pretty well, I think. I used a bead that is one size larger than the ones I use for the goblins (I believe it is a 1/2" bead) and split it for the head. The shoulders are the split 1/2" spool, just like for the goblins, and the ears are cut out of tile spacers, also just like the goblins. I used paper for the leather "skirt" and tile spacers for the feet just like I did for the Aragorn, Boromir, and Legolas figures. I gave him some upper arm armor plating cutting tile spacers to fit. You can see this best in the second and fourth images. This is obviously a test figure, but I think I have enough to go on in terms of making a whole unit of Mordor Orcs, or I could also probably use this same construction method for Uruk-hai.
