1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[davejames]

Just for reference, here's my original MJ Choi head which I painted. All size issues aside, I think the recast lost some of the likeness in the process somehow.

Yeah it looks like the recast did get slightly squished or distorted somehow from the original. The sculpt always did have a slightly goofy look to it, but the recast seems to have emphasized that aspect a whole lot more.

The proportions definitely look a lot better in this other paintup I saved as well (sorry, I don't remember who from):

What is Ezio body, guys?

It's the body from the Hot Toys Assassin's Creed Ezio figure. The Sideshow TOD body seems like it would be a decent fit for the recast. It is decently tall, I believe. The Banner body would seem to be a better fit for the undersized TOD head since it is not as tall.

A hatful of Inigou V1s.

Not a lot of customization going on here, I know...
Big thanks again to Kuat and Rogbee for the head-fixing tips...

I think I'm happy... For now... The adventure continues...

"Fortune and glory, kid... Fortune and glory..."

No worries,

Your recast does look rather good there, almost as good as the original in terms of features, though the eyes do look overly dark. If I do get one and am of a mind to, I may repaint the eyes.

A word of caution about the Ezio body, to make Ezio stand taller, they extended the ankle sockets, which actually makes it too tall for Indy. I used standard lower legs on mine. There are, however, clones available with standard legs. It has a fixed neck which was my prime reason for choosing it for Indy.

They do look good as a collection, but they stand out on their own.

Stand out in a good way or a bad way?

Hard to say, it depends on what is next to them I suppose.

What do you think beats it then, Roger? The original MJ, the knock-off or your Trevor Grove perhaps...?

This is why I prefer the Inigou V1, just look at these beauties! My first choice, just wish it was a touch larger.

I think the iris is just a shade lighter than the pupil, you have to have it under a spot light to see it. Otherwise it's basically indistinguishable.

Yeah, I looked at most of the pics and couldn't see anything but black iris. It's a bummer because you can see in xmk's paint-up, the eyes are greenish. You have to ownder if it loses a bit of likenesss just solely on that eye color aspect.

You did a great job with that paint-up.

So I got my recast too. Here is a pic.

That angle actually has a little Ben Stiller in there. It's a bit like the HT Indy head where it can look very nice at certain angles and under certain lighting, but others the likeness falls away. Kuat has the right idea with the tilt.

Thank you for the kind words. I think you are right on about the eyes. The color but also the position of the iris is probably a big part of what make its look.different then the Choi paint ups we've seen. I'm half tempted to repaint the eyes on one of my recasts just to see if I can improve the likeness.

 

[xmkbee]

Also I think the recast could use a little darker 'stache

Full tilt!

Then I took this photo up into the brim-shaded eyes:

Having the shadow of the brim fall over the eyes seems to be essential in order to maintain an illusion of Ford.

Is last one recast sculpt with same hat?

I don't think anything beats it as there isn't a be all and end all Indy sculpt out there, I've seen pics where they all look good. When you get a load of different ones together you tend to see what's off with some more than others. I think the Inigo is too elongated, but, that was down to the casting as we've seen it a lot with digitally produced sculpts.

For a Raiders look it certainly could.

Both are the same recast with the DX05 fedora.
