Excellent display, bmarz! Where is that dio base from?

I believe it the gi joe diorama. Serpent something....



Best,

GI JOE: Recovery at Serpent Temple. It works great for Indy. In fact, it looks more "Indy" than GI JOE!

I use Sideshow's GI JOE: Desert Weapons Cache for Cairo and Tatooine.

Wow! That dio looks great in both cases!

All of the above if not sealed.

Took your advice Rahmier. Came out great, thanks!

Here's a couple pics of the final product. Sorry I'm not a very good photographer.

WOW... NOW THAT IS AN INDY HEADSCULPT.... !! I have not kept up lately... which one is that ?!?! Its perfect !

 

[xmkbee]

That is the MJ Choi sculpt painted by me.

 

[mfisher]

brilliant paint job !

 

[xmkbee]

Thank you

 

[clparker04]

Wow thats a great paint job mate

 

[RED SHOES]

That's an awesome paintjob. The sculpt just doesn't scream "Ford" to me. But, it does seem to say "Indiana Jones".

 

[xmkbee]

Thanks, I really like this sculpt. I wish I had spent a little more time on the stubble though. Anyway it's all sealed and done. Rahmier84 and Rogerbee's advice about Dullcote and Pledge futures was very helpful. Thanks guys! I've done a lot of painting, just never on models or minitures.

This fedora, again and forever, is too tiny but your paint is a great one.
Fantastic indy

Nice work! I especially like the weathering you did on the fedora.

 

[TaliBane]

Great paint work!

What's weird is I see HF in the first pic but not the second pic. What is it with this guy's likeness?

That Choi sculpt under different conditions looks a little Sean Penn and even a little Steven Spielberg, but I've seen pics where it's dead-on HF.

But yeah, that hat - while painted/weathered beautifully - always looks a size too small.

 

[xmkbee]

I've really struggled with the tiny fedora myself. I tried the hot toys fedora and while it does fit, it just doesn't look right either. I saw where someone modded the head so that the inigou fedora would fit and that seems to be the best option yet.

 

[Rogerbee]

You did a really nice job there. What is throwing the hat off for me is that Ford wears it with the pinch just above his right eyebrow. No matter which hat I've had, it's always looked right when I've angled it that way. I'm sure I read somewhere that Spielberg wanted a fedora with a tall crown in Raiders specifically for the silhouette shot as he enters Marion's tavern. I'm sure other hats, even in that movie, didn't have such tall crowns.

Weathered Yunsil's Indy jacket, credit to Luisenigma1 for the advice.

 

[Rogerbee]

Looks good,

Something of note for xmkbee, the SSC jacket tends to look better if you unstitch the collar tips.

 

[xmkbee]

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out.
