Thanks man! lol - I didn't think it would show off as looking any better with the bad quality pic. Well, after purchasing 3 neck attached bodies, I knew nothing was gonna match the skin of that figure..so I just used an extra Redman Toys body, using the original neck off the SS figure, added ankle peg extenders for the extra height, some 'socks' for good measure, Henry's signature gold & black pen added where I had to cut into the fake pocket using an Xacto to stick it in, gripping hands I used from a ZC Toys body and added a bit of polyester fluff inside of the hat so it sits a bit higher on the head. The pen I believe came from the 3R German desk accessories set....but it wouldn't be hard to find one similar on eBay and give it a quick paint job. All-in-all (minus all the money I spent on useless 1/6 bodies), it's a real easy mod that goes a long way. I'm thinking about darkening up the eyebrows and mustache area/extending it down a bit more on the beard as well. I really doubt we'll ever see another Henry Jones, or Indy for that matter..unless it's an 80 year old one from Indiana Jones 5.

Anyone have any thoughts on how the JNIX Raiders sculpt sizes on the HT DX-05? Too big, too small, etc? The pictures I'm seeing on this thread used the SS body a lot.

It's perfect proportions on the DX05.....I'm only using the sideshow body as I think it works better with the custom clothing that I have.

I had it on my DX05, but he's off to silent surfer for a repaint. I'll report when I have it back.

Here you go........from left to right, full sideshow Temple Of Doom (no customising), the Jnix sculpt on DX05 body/shirt/trousers (Yunsil jacket), and lastly the inigo 2 on the sideshow body.

And without the jacket.....

Not the best pictures, and the figures could do with a lot of futzing (apologies for the gloved hands), but shows the basic proportions and hopefully helps you out.

Ultimately my preferred choice, Jnix on the sideshow body :

Cheers!

That's similar to my setup. Except I use the HT banner body and full Yunsil outfit.

The Sideshow body has the correct slope in the shoulders. The DX05 is a tad too big. Ford was in shape but not overly buff. I like your customs Zed. Very awesome.

I’ve got the Solo, Banner, and SS Indy body. Looks like the slightly more narrow look of the Sideshow body might work best with the Jnix head I’ll be using.

 

[ZedBelkon]

Cheers guys.....it's interesting to see them side by side.

Managed to get one more quick one in......this is the Jnix head on the DX05 body, shirt, trousers AND a DX05 jacket (lining removed, weathered).

The body works better with the jacket on I think.

Nice work on the DX05 jacket, Simon.

Cheers Pete! If only I could get up the courage to do it to the Yunsil!

That looks really good! You're making me reconsider going in on the project that's being lined up.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Excellent looking custom, ZedBelkon.

I love the way the jacket looks. Really sets off the figure.

Is that the one where the guy is knocking out re-casts of Inigo Gil’s V2 Indy sculpt?!!! Bad man!!

Misunderstanding. Inigo later confirmed he gave permission for a small run.

 

[rhboyd]

oh WHAT now?!?!? I missed out on V2... where what when is this happening?!? IS this gonna be Treasure Hunter V2???????

 

[ZedBelkon]

I've lost track completely now on what is available with regards to customs.......the change in the board policy has sadly killed all that for me. Where should I be looking?

 

[Timemeddler]

I just picked up a Jnix sculpt on eBay. Off to Mark Simpson for some painting magic!!!
