1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[bbl]

Thanks again mate...That might indeed be a simpler sollution . I did the jacket yesterday with the sandpaper. Looks much better now..next...the shirt

Any art shop will sell little basic sets of acrylic paint. You will see them between the oil paints and the watercolors. What makes them great is they are water soluble but when they dry they don't come off. You could pick a set up off ebay, but an art shop would be easier? You don't need any fancy expensive ones, just the basics, red, black, white, brown, yellow. You can mix practically anything up from those.

Have fun with man!

How did you do the jacket? What grain of sandpaper did you use? Can you post some pictures?

I simply bought some at the do it yourself shop..in holland we "gamma"..i just started rubbing with normal sandpaper..i simply damaged the jacket..for the shirt and pants i bought textile paint (black, white, brown, thnx rory and others) and made mudd colors, used a lot if water, and painted with the water...use brownish for the sleeves and neck..when i was done i sinply drenshed the whole thing with the water i used..it was soaking wet, but dirty..then i planted the whole bunch on the heater..dried them and voial! Pictures soon..thinking of 'sanding up' the jacket too.

Can't wait to see yours bbl. What worked for me on the guyliner process is a mixture of flesh and red acrylic paint, watered it down, then I used a fine brush to lightly brush over the inside of the bottom of the lower eyelid, wiped the access paint away, What you want to do is raise the PERS eyes all the way up, in a possessed rolled up motion that way you can really see the bottom of the lid, remember go slow with the wash of paint because you don't want the wash to to seep into the eye balls , wipe it off fast, if it does, I know it sounds complicated, but if you attempt it, you'll see it really isn't.

I miss working on my Indy customs. I'm away from home in Africa on a job at the moment, I know my TOD Indy is standing on my desk waiting for some more sweat. This set has become an obsession! Can't wait for my MFisher TOD set as well. Looking a lot better Guyver!

I received my Raiders belt and holster from MFisher. Worth every penny. It is a great touch to the figure. I will get a whip after the Holidays. MFisher does great work.

Make sure to grab some african dirt to smear all over the figure. Give it a truly exotic adventuring feel

Just want to give a shout out to Mike's wonderful work! Anyone still debating on these sets, treat yourself and get one of his gear sets! It makes a huge difference for Indy! Some more work done on my Indy #2

Thank for the info..Gonna get the paint and a microbrush later ...no need to open the headsculpt then?

Here are some pictures of mine..I made them with my phone though..the shirt is dirty on both sides, but he wears the jacket so you can't see it. I did the pants the same way. Mfishers belt, holster and whip are in the making

Furthermore I made a custom Grail Tablet and a custom Proffesor Jones. Waiting for the 1:6 grail diary from indyfreak26. The suit is from the HT bruce lee. The Grail tablet is made of clay. The inscription was very hard and is hard to read. I don't have the tools or skill to make it perfect. Used acrylpaint. (thnx Rorywan)

Looks great! Might I ask how you covered the gap in the mouth, what paint did you use, what colors.

First I painted that head for neo.

First thing I did is to removed the original colour on the face with acetone.
The painted over it.

I used valejo acrylics.

Will you guys shoot me if I say I think it looks a little weird?
I mean I can see how good the paintwork is, and well done to all involved. But it looks a little 'dead-corpse' Indy to me.

I'm sorry! Don't kill me.

 

[elvis1976]

Deadcorpse?
I think the original looks more deadcorps, it was all grey and brown.

DOn't know.

I think your paintwork is fantastic man, I just think that it looks very pale, mixed with the red and pink flesh tones, it has gone a bit creepy. And the bottom eyelids (which were always a problem on the sculpt itself) look even stranger when painted flesh color?

I feel really bad saying anything because I can see the skill involved in the repaint. And it's the first full repaint I have seen. So well done man, but for me its a little too pale.
