The brows are too thick in the paint. Also the nose seems too long. He looks arab

Beastmaster did this mock up only changing paint on the sculpt. The changes in paint will be brought up to M.J. before then run

That is more like it!

Still. The brows need to be thinner

They usually paint the brows pretty thin. They look fine to me. Stubble could be painted thicker that might help them look thinner

As Josh mentioned, the crown of the hat is off.

To me, the Raiders pinch does not work well with either of the tapered crowns.

Raiders pinch absolutely requires a Raiders crown lol.

Also, I still think the nose is too pointy and should be slightly more rounded:

But I would love to see this repainted!

The fact the paint job is making him look so incredibly pale probably doesn't help either. With a deeper tan or more flushed skin it would likely look a helluva lot better.

Absolutely. I totally agree.

The sculpt looks phenomenal. It's so puzzling how the paintjob can affect the sculpt to such a degree. It's not like it's a bad paintjob--far from it. I'd love to see someone take another stab at painting it to see if anyone can make that sculpt shine like it does.

I just hope this doesn't turn into WGP the sequel. Those sculpts really did look amazing until they were cast and painted, then something was lost.

Just for the hell of it, I decided to try my own alteration on it. I lowered the eyes and brow (since it felt to me like they were both a bit too high), and obviously gave him a much warmer complexion. Seems to help quite a bit, I think.

I think the main problem with this sculpt is that the caruncula (corner of the eye near the nose) is far too long and thus looks unnatural. This is very pronounced when painted.

I think the issue is lighting on the painted version. If you look at the unpainted sculpt, it's a great likeness, but has more natural lighting. The painted pictures are look more flat, giving the face a wider appearance, and they eyes look too close together. Maybe we could see some pictures in a more natural light setup.

I'm going to buy this new sculpt and give it a whirl. However I still think the HT sculpt is not that bad with a little extra love.

You need to pull the hat band a bit lower.

Yes that thing moves up and down very easily. However my point was about the sculpt itself and not about the hat. [emoji38]

LOL, I know, it was the first thing I noticed. I've never been the biggest fan of the DX Indy, in fact, the hat and gun are the only parts from it I want.

Yeah I hear ya. My Indy in that pic is sporting the Sovereign jacket which is really nice but I also have the KATO jacket and clothes set as well. When I pick up MJ's sculpt, I will make my ultimate Indy using the KATO set with it and the Mfisher belt set that I have.

I do hope, for the sake of everyone that wants it, that this sculpt turns out to be worth it. That's a lot of green to lay down for something that could become another WGP. It'll take Ray or Rahmier to get the best out of it and they don't come cheap either.

Why not pick up Yunsil's Indy outfit while you're at it? Never have enough of Indy stuff.

Because paying for Kato's outfit was expensive enough.
