Cheers dude

As for the Odin body I used that body on my CS indy and I think it looks good I'll get some photos up.

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 meant that instead of muscle arms they went with standard arms for more poseability ( is that even a word ? ) .

It took me a while to do it, but since getting the hot toys one I decided I only need one

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Yeah, I gotcha Paul!

I was hoping the Odin body might be good by itself so I wouldn't have to perform the surgery. But damn! $75 for the body! The prices just for the bodies are getting ridiculous!

I also looked at the Jack Sparrow body which has the sculpted neck as well. Those start at around $60, but is the body too slim or short?

 

[MarfMaster]

Best Indiana Jones ever made on planet earth!!

You and I both know you don't believe that, but thanks homie!

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

Fantastic all around, Marf!

Thanks Lu

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

Awesome, I'm honored. Can't wait to see it!

Best indy headsculpt. May I know where to this? Thanks

Kaiburr was offering them a while back, but I don't think he is anymore.

That is an amazing Indy I love it

Thanks clparker

That is a sweet Indy, almost the same recipe as mine Good luck with the sale.

I also looked at the Jack Sparrow body which has the sculpted neck as well. Those start at around $60, but is the body too slim or short?

The skin tone on the JS body is pretty dark (not an issue if you can repaint it), but it's also essentially a TT slim with a sculpted neck, so I think it would be too small for Indy.

 

[paulcarson]

The Jack Sparrow would be too thin I imagine. Oops , posted when Marf posted.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

poop. Thanks Marf and Paul. I had a vague recollection reading that the body was a slim.

Get Marf's $200,000 custom Indy abomination away from my eyes!

It only shames my own personal Indy...

Give him a day or two, He should get back to you. Last time I pm'ed him, he was ready and willing to cast one up.

 

[marker2037]

Can't wait to piss all over Marf's Indy with my smiling Indy head if it ever gets here.















Just kidding bud. I love yours. It is the best around

• (although I think you should've kept the sovereign jacket)

 

[Rogerbee]

As the HT jacket is some form of pleather or whatever, you don't need to weather it with paint. Lightly sanding the leather with fine grade wet/dry sandpaper and using pastels should work just fine.

Why I never!





Thanks man, I can't wait to see the WGP sculpts either Depending on how they turn out, I might send a neutral sculpt to Nathan for paint so I can have another display option

So has anyone done some heavy weathering/customizing on the HT jacket? Can it be made to even remotely resemble the Kato or Sov jackets?

I'm worried that it's essentially thick paint over fabric and won't hold up well to any weathering except adding "dust" or superficial grime. It certainly doesn't seem to hold creases very well.

I've seen people do some nice weathering on the HT jacket, but there is more to the Kato and Sovereign jackets than just the finish that makes them look nice and hang naturally (tailoring, materials used, etc.)

I noticed a tiny speck of the surface had come off my jacket. It on the crest of a crease near the elbow joint. I figure it happens with too much handling and creasing of the fabric (even though I don't really think I futzed with him THAT much). So yeah, the jacket seems to be made up of a thin layer of...leather? But it IS thin, so I'd be careful.
