1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[JRSly]

Well I've decided to finally go for my Sideshow/Hot Toys Indy hodgepodge figure with my new Hot Toys muscle body. Probably echoing the thoughts of many about two years too late , but it really is amazing just switching over to a Hot Toys body. Looking at how the original Sideshow release looked without modification, it's incredible how far we've come in just a few years and how the Sideshow body was what was expected and accepted.

Drilled and got the shoes switched over, spent this evening modifying the Sideshow gloved hands so they can work with the new body. I've carved up the head so it will fit...just need to repaint it and get it on the peg. After that, I'll be pretty darn happy with the figure. I might slowly switch over to Hot Toys/mfisher apparel and accessories, but I'm really impressed with him at this point and I've never been, and my wallet thanks me, too much of a stickler for nitpicking all the details to make a perfectly accurate movie specific Indy. I can set him on the shelf and he screams Indy to me, and that makes me happy.

Only other thing I am thinking about is possibly popping off the muscle arms and switching with the standard True Type arms, to help the shirt and jacket fit a little better and improve articulation. I've seen a couple other people do that, hopefully it's not too much of a chore for a newcomer customizer like me.

Ahh, but it's nice...what, three years later?...to have a 12" Indy that I'm really pleased with.

Sounds like a good project for you Jrsly, can't wait to see the result, I'm still working on my 2nd Indy.

Just got my Mike Fisher Temple of Doom set, so I'm gonna finish up my second Indy pretty soon. It's all coming together. Great work as usual Mike!

What's this TOD set? What does it consist of? I'm trying to make a TOD Indy and would love some info.

Handmade leather belts and whips. Far superior to anything else on the market. Check back this thread a bit and you will see pics and discussion. I would highly reccomend Mikes work.

looking at these photos it is obvious I need to get the sharp scissors out and trim back the threads at the shirt collar... usually do that but forgot..

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's definitely the mileage.

Awesome custom!

Where did you get the web belt and the hat! Looks great.... He really looks like he's been dragged by a German truck!

 

[mfisher]

The web belt came off of the Did figure Charles Winstone.. which are hard to find now but so worth it if you can get them..only accuracy issue with those is the two vertical groves...I painted the webbing the correct color (it was tan) and fashioned the metal end tab from stuff in the parts box... the hat came with the rescales PF head (rescaled PF fedora)
