1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[SwedishHeat]

The pants are indeed the stock SS pants. I did give them the old hot water treatment and hit them with some startch.

I'm really taken with how statuesque that fig is. It's a job well done.

I remember when it was up for sale.

 

[Evil_Ash]

small, what clothing did you use for that, other than ss pants?

 

[TheFiend]

It wasn't expensive when I picked it up, it just requires quite a bit of work to refine, which may dissuade people.

Ugh. That doesn't sound good. WHat exactly do you have to do and is it mandatory.

 

[Rogerbee]

Josh did a cracking job too, certainly is inspiring.

 

[TheFiend]

The thing that looks to have happened to this one in particular is that the head looks squashed vertically. I'm sure others I've seen have had longer faces.

The one alternative Indy that I did really like was Paul Carson's.

Do you have any pics?

 

[Rogerbee]

Yes, on this page:

I like it anyway.

 

[TheFiend]

I didn't see it. I probably have a different page set up then you do. Don't know if that would be the cause.

Most of everything on the figure was original Sideshow items. The shirt, pants, belt, bag, and boots were Sideshow. I swapped out the buttons on the shirt. The jacket and whip were from sovereign studios. The gun holster and belt was a mfisher version.

I miss that figure every once in awhile. Im curious as to where it is now.

 

[TheFiend]

Ah,OK. I have seen that one. Yeah, it not bad. I'd like it more if the beard wasn't as prominent. But yeah, definitely a lot of Fords features are there.

How does the water treatment work? Will it work with HT pants?

With a bit of shading it might not be so prominent. A neckless one would be nice, though I'm guessing that sculpt is hard to find now.

For me this sculpt doesn't work. The short round paintjob of this has the same problem. I like the pf, but as 1/6 i have feeling indy is pushing something from a certain hole in his body.

Found this in here. Really good paint up. Where is everyone getting the shrunken PF sculpt??

Is it an arm and a leg?

 

[Rogerbee]

LOL! I do get where you're coming from with that pic, but I have seen ones where it does look good. I think Ray Ferraro had a really nice one but I think he did a lot of work on it.

 

[Evil_Ash]

My gripe with the shrunken PF is the brim of the hat. Too thick. IMO, the HT hat is the best looking. Not the most raiders accurate, but the best looking in terms of the brim and overall shape.

 

[Rogerbee]

Agreed about the PF hat though I have seen the SSC KOTCS one used to good effect on that head.

About the only thing I've ever really fancied from the HT one is the revolver, I still might get one yet....

Ugh. That doesn't sound good. WHat exactly do you have to do and is it mandatory.

Per Ray:

-Removed the neck and inserted a HT neck adapter.

-Sanded, buffed and refined the bumpy skin, sculpted out his eyebrows a bit and filled in a few of the holes in the mold.

-Refined the hair a lot, chiseling out smoother and more refined groves, and cleaned out the clumps etc.

What's considered mandatory is really up to you, but he got the sculpt looking as good as I have ever seen it.

I really like the HT pants, even more than Kato's. And the HT Aldens are the best representation in 1/6 if you ask me, better than Newline's.

 

[Rogerbee]

The thing with the Aldens is that they're beets and make the figure shorter. As is, mine is the right height.

I've never really studied the pants

 

[TheFiend]

If anyone has an extra pair of DX05 pants lmk.
