1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Rogerbee]

It's the Inigo V1 where I see Driver.

I was waiting for that misunderstanding to get cleared up.

 

[Rogerbee]

Wasn't it Indy's misunderstanding that a certain tribe wanted to remove when he was talking about past adventures to Chattar Lal in TOD?

 

[Asta]

When the Sultan of Madagascar threatened to cut his head off if he ever returned.

 

[Rogerbee]

That's the one, someone chimed in and said "I heard it wasn't your head." to which I think Indy replied "It was my.. misunderstanding.".

 

[Asta]

That's the one.

You'd need a male Phicen to tell that story in 1/6.

I just picked up the 'treasure hunter' sculpt..it's a pretty good likeness and the paint apps are excellent.. but as others have said the ears are HUGE..so i pinned them back,darkened the beard and added a little sweat around the face...

I've got all the same pieces sitting on a body right now. It's not a perfect likeness but for $40 it really is a stellar value considering those apps are near-HT quality.

Did you just use boiling water for the ears?

I really like the Inigo V.1 (my fave custom head so far) but to me it does have a bit of Jake Glyenhaal at times, and looks a touch Asian in other pics. Depends on the paint-up.

No i went a little more extreme with the ears...i cut into and removed a thin slice of the plastic from behind each ear then after adding a small drop of gel glue into the recess.. pushed/flattened the ears back into place. Boiling might work for a while but plastic will always return to its original molded state

Natural light shot shows the sweat a little better.. View attachment 283750

^^ Looking good. The sweat does help a little.

Yeah, I was looking to do the same thing but the ears are pretty attached to the hair at the top - a bit more surgery than I anticipated. I did the same thing with the SSC German Indy and it improved the head a lot. And yeah, I always say boiling works great to restore distorted plastic to its original shape but not so much for distorting a plastic piece.

Hi there, new to the board but have been reading a while. This is my Indy, a combination of sideshow TOD and the DX05. Hope the images work okay.

finished applying the dressing on the Kato jacket... also got a TOD shirt replacement.

Thanks to kamveitch and other fellow members for the advice.

That looks pretty much perfect to me.

It paid off, that's for sure.
