That looks really good, small studios.
The paint brings out the Ford in the sculpt.
Looking between that and the recast I can't see any actual differences in the structure itself, except for maybe the ears which seem to stick out further. Which would be an odd result of the recasting process.
The eyes suffer from being too dark on the recast, which is highlighted by flash photography, but on display is rectified by the shade created by the fedora brim.
I couldn't take a photo without flash, so I took it from above the eye line:
The sculpt is definitely growing on me, but it took a while to get over the initial shock of the size difference since that figure has always either had the smaller original sculpt and then the same sized SS TOD.
The difference is a bit like the jump from the MMS136 Terminator to the DX13 Terminator 2.
It helped raising the head up off the neck. The white tack didn't hold the position well enough - after a while the head would start to drop forwards. So I cut up a pen top and placed it over the ball inside the neck of the body, packed both ends with white tack and placed the sculpt over that.
The problem with sculpting Ford, and keeping in mind what he looks like, seems to be that his face changes quite radically as he runs through a gamut of expressions:
The still of Indy the Professor reminds me of the DX05 with the frowning, quizzical look and overall more pronounced features.
