1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[faststreetsofhongkong]

I have tried some different heads on my college Indy. I still think my sculpted hair one is the best though.

Wow, that’s great

Thanks.

If I see any Indy Yunsil clothing sets pop up I will let you know. I would like a set myself but can live with what I have with my custom Indy's just now even though I usually always end up tinkering with them!

I LOVE those backdrops! Can you tell me a little about them? Thanks.

Hey bmarz100

I actually bought that backdrop from a guy on ebay a little while back. He makes them in his spare time. He told me he made that one whilst he was working in the Middle east as a defence contractor. He was a really cool guy. The attention to detail is awesome on it. When I got it delivered it was a lot bigger than I thought it would be!

I bought it thinking of using it for my Indiana Jones figures but also for my custom Restless Natives Clown and Wolfman figures as the diorama looks very much like the old ruins found on Arthur's Seat, the ancient volcano, in Edinburgh where that movie is set and where I live. I'm always up there exploring and finding old bullets. I once even found an old musket ball up there!

I think that diorama could be used for tons of different figures. Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, Jack Sparrow, the Dread Pirate Roberts etc.

It seems to have been made out of foam on a solid plastic base and is quite sturdy and I think the little shrubs and plants were from a hobby store.
I recognise them because I was looking at similar things for a Dealey Plaza model I plan on making in the future.

I will try and take some pictures of it without the figures on.

I hope that information is of some use to you bmarz.

Morning light really brings out all of the detail:

Face looks too pale and chalky in comparison to the neck. Needs a sun tan.

What? Are you color blind???

They are a 100% match

K1241 is right. Looks off to me too.

I got my White tuxedo suit set today and can finally put together my newest custom Indy.

I just need to get a black waistcoat, cummberbund and some pants to complete him.

Then I will try and make a flaming shishkebab!

 

[faststreetsofhongkong]

It’s really coming together great [emoji1303]

Very nice, love to see more of him and the background you've got there

Of course it looks great.
You are so close to perfection on that, I have to make one critical comment, but I write it in a good spirited away:

Those are possibly the best painted eyes I’ve ever seen on a Harrison Ford figure ever, I’m talking perfect.

The facial hair is too “man sculpted”, should get another painter to make it look messy - imperfect. Because that head scuplt is almost 100% perfect [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

Great job

Like this, no perfect lines and/or perfect edges, the facial hair growth just goes where it naturally goes:

Looks great. You should post some more pics so I can check out that background!

 

[Mr.Caveman]

Thank you Gents. I appreciate it. The head is painted by Nathan. He's sprinkled his magic again on this one. It is absolutely flawless in hand, the eyes are perfect, the Iris has so much dept and bloody round. Not sure if he's painted or used decal. Really hard to make out but it's unreal.

The background is from sideshow, it's the Gi-Joe recovery of the serpent temple diorama. Aztec Jungle theme like, Works really well.

Yes I also agree, the neck particularly is too clean for my liking at moment. That will need to be addressed.

Here's some more angled pics and other Indies I'm working on ...

Brilliant figures.

How do people get the flecks on the peepers when painting?
