Jnix sculpt painted. Only the hat broke when my figure fell from my shelf, so I replaced it with the hot toys hat for now. I have a spare sculpt and inigou smiling version but I'm waiting for the painter to be done, and send it back.Which sculpt is that?

Thought I post where my indy is at. I'm good with how it is. Though updates will come soon.View attachment 401891
That's as far as it will go. I did cut the neck connection a bit and put blutak on it to hold the sculpt. I will replace it with the smiling sculpt when I get it in. Atm this will do. And it's not that bad in hand. The hot toys pants came in use, I dyed them in order to get it accurate. Though it's more last crusade to my eyes.Looks good. Can you get the head down any further on the neck post? It’s sitting a bit too high at the moment...

I used rit synthetic dye. The color was chocolate brown. You mix the dye with warm water and you dip it in. The pants have to be wet when you do, and depending on how long you have it in there it will get darker. A quick dip should be good. Use a paper towel to see what the color will look like.What color did you use to dye the pant...it's great...you have a link about the product? Thks

Sneak peak into my "Cairo series" of customs... This will be the second figure.. ( I posted images of my Cairo Indy some time back.. although I need to take good quality images of that project).. anyhow... this one has been on my wish list of projects for some time... Again I am combining my interest in woodworking with my figure building hobby. The base was made from a dried out log in my firewood pile... ran it through a bandsaw to plank it.. then across a jointer to flatten just one side that I could then miter the small planks into a box that I inlaid the tile. The figure itself is in its infancy really.. all the clothing is pretty much custom / altered.

Daaaaaaaaaang........ That looks incredible.... only thing I'd change is that V1 whip I built ten years ago for one of the newer ones with the sculpted turk's head knot as opposed to the method I used back then.. (not my best work)... but man that smiling head and the unheated head look incredible.. plus those Kato jackets are GORGEOUS !
