I removed the lining in my jacket some time ago, I also cut the sleeves off the shirt :horror

But what I wanted to share was another step I took. I cut rectangles of aluminum from a pop can and put it in the pockets and sides.

The effect allows you to pose the jacket like a cheaper wire affect (couldn't find my wire)

Looks good. I thought about cutting the sleeves off my shirt too but after futzing the jacket I decided it looked fine the way it is.
Cool idea with the aluminum. I wouldn't have thought of that. While I don't think I'll use it for Indy it's something I may use down the road on something else. Thanks. :)
 
Actually, taking another look at your jacket I think I will try the aluminum mod. It lays more naturally, like the movie. That's the problem with large pockets like these in 1/6. They stay flat/straight, hard to crease them. That's my only issue with the MMS136 T1 Arnie. Its impossible to get that punk jacket to lay naturally and the pockets are part of the reason.

Modded my shoes and jacket yesterday. I couldn't get the shoes quite as nice as Fiend's, but even coming close made a big difference... It's as if the shape of the shoe just looks better overall with a bit of a bend in the toe area.... it was just too flat before.

As for the jacket I tried something different... I gave it a blast of dull coat then, as the dull coat was still wet I lightly dusted it with pastel. I'll take a few pics later but it really got into the detail of the material and gave it a nice weathered look. I've been needing to do something about that jacket for sometime now. :)
 
Here's an update to my Sideshow Indy- Added a shrunken statue head, Hot Toys jacked (weathered and sanded. Also removed the lining). He's got a Hot Toys slim body.

Ordered him a Hot Toys shirt as well- the SSC one started to rip.
Any other suggestions are appreciated.


Went and reworked the neck...

Nice work Keenan, the new shirt will work a treat. You might want to consider sticking the jacket collars down too.
 
it is very nice, however I do wonder why everyone loves a Harrison Ford sculpt that looks like forrest gump (expression)

Indy doesn't ever look that stupid (meaning dumb faced)
