[THE JOKER]

Hi Joker... Joe's whips can be found on his site : https://northernwhipco.com/Whipgallery.htm

at the moment I am a bit stalled out on belts.. only because the guy that supplied me with my belt buckles is no longer able to supply me with the 1/6 buckles.. ( still have plenty for the 1/4 PF Indy though).. and I have yet to find more 1/6 buckles that are suitable.. so at the moment I am only able to produce holsters in 1/6.. i fyou need more info on those or wish to order one just shoot me an email @ [email protected]

Say it ain't so Mike! Hopefully you'll be able to find a great replacement supplier. I love my 2 Raiders belts and I know I'll just have to come back to you for belts from the other 3 films in 1/6.

Glad to know you still have plenty for 1/4 at least...

Thanks again for the comments. He is on an Ace Dan body, but I will be trying out the new Hot Toys body this week.

And this is why I put up the new pics, I need all of your comments, sometimes when you look at something so much you just can't see some things. So, now I know, I need to fix the jacket collar.

To answer the other questions: Yes, Joe Strain whip, yes, Mike Fisher belt and holster.

Thanks again. If anything else looks off, please comment, I want to slowly, over time, keep improving him.

Love the whip but a little out of my price range.

Anybody know how much joe's 1/6 whips cost.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe I read somewhere in these boards that they were $250!

Yea I thought I read the same, it was definitely in the hundreds mark.

 

[bmarz1000]

That's only $100 less than I paid for my Strain eight-footer!

haha I'll have to hold of on that whip no matter how much i like it. Have to have limits lol

Here is the 2nd revision, after some great feedback I got from you all, I changed the body to the new Hot Toys body (it is much thinner) and added 1.75 CM to the torso area ( the previous version was the Ace Dan body with 2 CM added to the torso area ). The size difference really makes his outfit "hang" off of his body like in RAIDERS. I also, as per suggestions I got here, had the jacket collar reduced by about 1/4.

The new version is on the left, and the old on the right:

Body looks MUCH better, his head looks more proportional now.

The new body really makes him more realistic excellent work.

AWESOME stuff!! I can't wait to finally finish mine so I can post some pics of my own.

The main problem with the 1/6 Indiana Jones figures I've collected in the past, is they're always lacking of a particular accessory or piece of clothing, that is of screen accuracy. Whether it be Fedora, Belts, Whips, etc.

When I bought the Sideshow Indy, everything was pretty much accurate except the shoes, weren't dirtied, the jacket wasn't coarse enough, and the head certainly wasn't up to my standards. So There I was again. Customizing a "screen accurate" figure. What can you do?

 

[Murderofcrows71]

As much as I wanted to leave the SS figure alone, I had to tweak it a bit myself. Repainted the head, dyed the shirt, got a Mfisher holster, weathered a bit, added just enough shine to give the sweaty look, and just switched him to the Hot Toys Narrow Shoulder TT figure. I'm just waiting for my jacket from Sovereign Studios and I think I'm done....for now. I really hate the flash on my camera but at least you can see the body is a little more proportional.

Where's the whip from, crows?

 

[bmarz1000]

That looks like one of Shawn's if I'm not mistaken!

Those would be of the rather expensive variety, no?

 

[bmarz1000]

I don't know how much he gets for them. Mine came with my custom Indy.

 

[Murderofcrows71]

Yep it's one of Shawn's whips i got years ago when he first started the custom Indy's. It's more of a rubber/foam material but looks incredible and I've had mine on a figure for probably 8 years or so and it still is in brand new condition.

Newline boots. What are the other parts? Jacket, shirt, etc.

Amazing work!
