    • decent detail of pants, notice the cuff is turned back here in this pub photo, which is not standard for the movie
    • clean detail of pipe

Notes on other pipes for Janice:   Aragorn’s pipe has a kind of little knob on the bottom of the bowl.    You might want to try getting a wooden button, gluing it on the bottom on the bowl and filling the thread holes with wood filler.    I have only seen one picture of Bilbo’s pipe, but the bowl seems a little shorter and wider than Gandalf’s  and it seems set more straight up and down relative to the stem.

Suggestions for buying or substituting

• Apparently the type of pipes the hobbits are smoking are called Church Wardens. Remember it's just a prop. Leave the smoke for the special effects. Real hobbit style smoking pipes:
