1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

Nice,

If I ever need another body I'll let you know. That holster looks good. I think Steve O gives the colour variations, his is looking mighty tempting, I'll see how I'm fixed tomorrow.

Actually, I may be off air for a bit tomorrow though as my new laptop might arrive then and I'll need time to set it up.

CHEERS!

Mark, the colour is pretty good in my opinion. Here's a few pics that might help ?

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

nice one Paul.. That's really interesting as you can see from the first two shots that the holster is actually quite small. I think it will be easier once I get the pistol.

cheers Paul I will add em to my collection

Hi All

paulcarson - Mate thanks for the template that will come in handy for sure.

Dorgmal Snow - Mark the holster look great I actually resized the SS holster on one of my Indy's and it turned out pretty good pic below.

Also if you do want the holster a lighter or darker colours try using Games Workshop's Snake Bite Leather and Beastal Brown I find they work great on leather.

As you can see in the pic the holster is smaller in size, all I did was opened the stiching and placed the revolver on the opened holster and traced around it.

I then added an extra 2 millimetres to be on teh safe side and reclosed it using material and superglue.

Cheers Ron. Yeah I have been thinking about butchering the `SS one but I just thought if I fudge it up I will be stuffed. I think I will make a couple more and chose my favourite one.

Interesting, the first 2 of Paul's pics show the holster that was designed around the prop S&W that had the cut down barrel. The third one looks to be for one with a full length barrel. The SSC holster was designed for the SSC S&W which had a full length barrel.

Steve O's is a short barrel holster.

CHEERS!

figured I'd throw mine in! just to showcase the two great artists, Josh Small, who repainted the head (shows theres a killer sculpt under that terrible SS paint!), and Kato E who did the jacket. the rest is sideshow original on a solid neck TT. enjoy!

 

[hemble]

Awesome figure and the HS repaint and Jacket really bring it to life.

Ron

 

[Rogerbee]

Yeah, very nice indeed,

That's the first jacket I've seen that is leather and looks to scale. Mind you, Kato is a master and you get what you pay for and then some. Just wish I could afford his stuff.

CHEERS!

Looks great. Maybe a new gun rig and whip in the future? Paging Dr. Fisher!

 

[Rogerbee]

Depends on what bucks you've got. Stevo's complete rig sells for what a holster would from MFisher, both look good quality to me. I could also get Murray Corrigan to make a custom rig too, his stuff is fantastic.

CHEERS!

 

[chilipep66]

id love that custom gun rig from fisher! I came a little late to the game, but am joining the countless indy fans who are let down by the hot toys offering, anyone know how i can get a hold of him?

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

I think he has a wee webs site. Do a forum search for him then I think he has a home page link.

I for one and pretty determined to keep on trying. The first holster I made is a little small but I need a pistol I think as I only have the Browning Auto at the mo. James has kindly lent me some bits so that I can make a mould of the Hatted Indy and I gotta say the sculpt looks great.


Here is my holster and belt so far.

That looks GREAT!!!

 

[j2_gumpy]

I didn't think, I have a s&w revolver you could have borrowed as well. The holster looks good, it needs to be more narrow at the bottom, but I guess you can't get the right shape with the pistol

 

[ShortRound]

the belt looks great Snow, may i suggest making it a tad thinner. looks a little to thick.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

cheers guys and yeah the belt is a wee bit to thick for my liking and the next holster will be better... I hope haha

 

[mfisher]

Don't forget that the belt keeper is metal on the Raiders belt.. not leather.. the other three films had the leather keeper...

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

ow I have SO much to learn !!

Hey does any one know when I can get some of the tiny metal studs/rivets for the whip clip and holster? I need some for some star wars belts I am making to.

 

[Rogerbee]

Some patterns will be for the gun with the cut down barrel. The SSC gun doesn't have the cut down barrel. In fact, the only guns that I know of that have the short barrel are SteveO's and the Hasbro one. If anyone could drill out the barrel of the Hasbro gun and cast it you'd have a nice replica.

Cut down pins or nails are what I've seen used.

CHEERS!
