1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Rzeznikk]

So obviously the likeness is there for Ford, it just the paint that is throwing it off. You guys think?

I had a go at repainting the head. It's a tricky one to get the skin right on. The first thing it needs is some red washes, he is waay too tan/brown. Let me know what you think...These are WIP pics, out of sequence..

I'm not a fan of the headsculpt, but this looks really cool. almost makes me want to buy the head and try to repaint it like that.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I never would have thunk it, Rzeznikk. For once, HT's paint job screws up its own headsculpt! That's usually Sideshow's deal!

And Rorrywan: Marvelous! You have inspired me to get the figure! This confirms that posting earlier on the Chinese forum that there is a good sculpt hidden behind HT's bad paint! Inconceivable!

I will post some more details later guys. I have a two year old looking for my attention!

I mixed a skin coat, yellow/white/red/brown close to the original. I gave it a wash base, barely noticeable. Then I added red washes to the cheek bones, nose etc. then I added dark brown washes to the shadowy areas. My biggest problem with this head was it looked a bit plasticy, this helps that. Then I added sweat, use acrylic varnish. You need to be careful with that. A little gives it skin tone a lot looks like he is wet.

Thanks for that, very helpful. I might get the balls to give it a go.

I'd definitely like to see more pics when you can in brighter lighting.

So would you say you're a well-versed painter...or average? No offense but I'm trying to gage where I would fall based on your ability and if I'm biting off more than I can chew if I try this.

Stevo check out the customs thread for details, Kato does not have a web site, his thread will list all the relevant info etc, Definitely get this if you can you don't want to miss it.

NICE!

So like Deak asked, what technique worked for you? Just painting, right?

 

[Wor-Gar]

OK, I'm definitely an amateur for the most part, been a good ten years since I painted garage resins kits and I don't trust myself like I used too.

But I would like to give it a go. If you do a tutorial, let me know.

 

[MarfMaster]

My Kato jacket should arrive today, can't wait to mess with it! It will be the cherry on top of my perpetually headless Indy Well, I suppose the head will be the real cherry.

 

[marker2037]

Got rid of the sovereign jacket did you Dane?

Personally, I still like it best for raiders. I'd use Kato's for TLC though without a doubt.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

3 hundee for Kato's jacket?
