1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Walker]

Thanks! There is so much blood (literally) and sweat in this figure it's crazy. I must have stabbed myself 4 times sewing the buttons on. I really disliked the stock buttons that came with the Hot toys shirt, so I got some new ones, painted them, and sewed them on.

The only thing left to do is work on the base, and adjust the shirt and jacket collar.

Now that you mention, the jacket collar did bug me. How are you gonna fix it?

I dont suppose anyone knows where I can get the shrunken raiders premium format head, if anyone knows can you please pm me details.

 

[Rogerbee]

Not sure if anyone is still producing it, but, you could always put up a WTB in the Want To Buy/Trade section and see if you get lucky.

 

[69slimer]

Contact kaiburr. He is the one who did the PF shrunken head.

What would you guys recommend for a replacement body for Indy: True Type Narrow Shoulders or True Type Advanced? I'm leaning towards the advanced because I think the more muscular frame might be better but I'm afraid it might be too big and create the same problems the TT muscle body has: which is making the jacket too tight. But the narrow shoulders TT might make Indy look too slim. Basically I want more articulation for Indy and for the jacket to fit a little better. I also don't mind having the neck seam, so that's not an issue. What do you guys think?

Sounds like the Narrow TT will work fine then. The only issue will be the color difference between the head and neck.

If you don't mind the cost of buying two bodies you could do the narrow arm swap onto the muscle body. Articulation is much better, jacket and shirt aren't as restricting and it creates Harrison Fords shoulder slouch as well. There are pics in this thread a couple pages back on how to do it and the results.

Murderofcrows is right. Thnx to his advise my indy looks much better. The jacket fits better.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Thanks MOF and bbl. I agree that's really the best solution for Indy, but it's much more than I wanted to spend. And I definitely don't want to do the surgery on the bodies I do have.

Maybe someday HT will wise up and create a muscle body with the regular arms for better articulation.

And thanks, bmarz. I have a narrow shoulders on another figure, so I may try it out and see how it fits. I saw the advanced TTs shot up in price and are very scarce now! What the heck happened?!?

 

[paulcarson]

Its possible, they did that with the Odin body.

I'm using a narrow TT on my Indy, I think it's perfect for Harrison's Raiders build. But there is the issue of the neck, I had mine painted to match.

 

[Mr.E]

Speaking of which, Mr. MarfMaster, please show off your Indy. Again. Now. Please.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Thanks for the response, Marf. Pictures?

And Paul, I saw the Odin body, but what torso is that? It looks like the man boobs are a little saggy!

Oh and CL, that's a cool pic! Love the treatment!

I haven't taken any new ones since the first batch because I'm not sick of the pose yet, but since Mad Old Lu is asking...

 

[ShortRound]

Best Indiana Jones ever made on planet earth!!

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Ah, yes! THAT beauty! I loose track of whose custom is whose!

Fantastic all around, Marf!

 

[Mr.E]

There we go. I'm working on my own custom with that sculpt as well. Thanks to you for inspiration.
