1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[EcklecticBadges]

They don't have a Michaels here in Scotland so I will try Hobbycraft and see if they have something similar.

Thanks for the info Mr. E.

Nope. I've used it more times than I can count. Like I said, I've replaced every single one of my HT satchel straps with this stuff. It fits the buckle perfectly without any modifications. Having been around long enough, I can assure you this stuff is not too thick.

Mind posting an image of your indy with this strap Want to get an idea.

Also comes in natural undyed leather.

Also, Wor-gar be sure and check out the RIT Dye-more for synthetic materials. Great stuff.

EXCELLENT! Thank you!!!

Is the "tan" one what you would call "medium brown" for Raiders?

Honestly, the "brown" one is closer to the HT shade, however the actual strap seems to darken as the series goes on, even in Raiders it changes a little here and there depending on lighting. Once you're able to locate them in-store take a look and decide which one you prefer.

As requested, here is an example of that exact Leather lace being used to replace the shoddy pleather used by HT:

Nice Indy’s Mr.E, and the bagstap looks great. Nice and clean edges. Thanks for the info.
It’s been a couple years away from this hobby but I missed it terribly. I’m scrambling to update my Indy after seeing all that has been done by the community. Well done guys. These customs are amazing.

When I first started on this forum I actually took the time to track down that customizer guy "Blindvoyeur" who took a bunch of money for TOD Mola Ram customs on here then took off and didn't deliver. I was curious to see if he actually finished any of them, but I never actually contacted him in the end.

It's a common thing on these boards - very talented people who produce great customs, take a lot of money, then disappear (and perhaps reappear under different names.)

Blindvoyeur did a great Mola Ram. You can still see picks hear and google it. Price was good but yes, in the end he took off. I believe he and figuremasterles worked on that project.

Mr. E, fantastic work! Looks perfectly in scale.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I'll be running to Michael's tomorrow.

 

[Rogerbee]

Yeah, that does look rather good.

 

[Mr.E]

No worries, freaks. Glad to help out.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Thought i come here and also ask. Does anyone know how to contact Creg Customs. Haven't been able to get a hold of him through his email.

 

[rhboyd]

try him through facebook! he’s always there... but often really busy.

I have and it doesn't allow me to send message. But I'm guessing it's not allowed in his artist site. So i messaged him through his personal FB. Thanks for the help also got a big idea on hand and need his help. And yes it has to do with indy.

ohboy!! what are you cooking?!? exciting!!

Not holding anything back. I'm trying to get him on board to do a run of indy's boots the alden 405. Something nicer and accurate and that works with hot toys pegs.

 

[Rogerbee]

Cool, I don't think we've really had truly accurate ones yet. I've been using Hasbro boots on mine!

Amazing, finally someone actually gets the Raiders jacket screen accurate- correct:

Kato’s continues his track record of amazing artistry, screen accuracy, and showing a genuine respect for the source material of honoring it by actually doing it correctly ...

It’s beautiful, but not worth $800...

 

[faststreetsofhongkong]

Everyone has a right to their opinion, and whether or not they choose to purchase something. In my opinion, regardless of price, it is simply the best 1/6th scale garment ever made, or maybe that’s his Great Escape Steve McQueen jacket, or his Walking Dead clothes that he’s made.

To each their own. I’ve seen amazing figures on this forum that people put together With just spare parts and a little bit of customization

So is the length screen accurate?

 

[EcklecticBadges]

That looks amazing and I would love one but I still think it should be a little bit longer. His jacket should reach down to cover at least the top of his satchel in my opinion. There are even some pictures from the movie where it looks like it covers half of it.

This is my one of my Raiders customs with the Hot Toys jacket and that has a good length on it albeit it is nowhere near the quality of the jacket posted above.

Ps. I checked Hobby Craft for those leather laces but they didn't have anything of the same size. Still, it wasn't a total waste as I was able to pick up a light unit for my custom The Thing figure!
