[TonTon]

He provide tracking Number or Just shipping out without? First Time i order from him

They've only shipped out a handful so far, maybe 5 or 6, according to the FB post. Listed tracking numbers there for those folks.

He contacted me via Facebook messenger at the end of last week with the tracking number. It was posted from the UK which is where the person who does the casts must be based. I live in Scotland so I got it on Monday.

Here is some pics of the unpainted sculpt for you Wor-Gar.

Thanks. I just wanted to see how the casting came out.

Great news, and glad to see he's finally making these a bit larger. Although now I'm kinda hoping it's not too much bigger than my Jnix sculpt, since they'll be displayed together and it could be a bit distracting if they're noticeably different in size...

 

[Wor-Gar]

That sculpt will be perfect for my latest Indy...


Young Indiana Jones














I found that picture on a google search, it was done by Argus way back in 2008. Had to post it.

Could that body be used for a custom Short Round or is it too small?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Always working, ecklectic.

That's an old SS Hobbit body. I suppose it could. But you need a head... and an outfit...

 

[EcklecticBadges]

I'm like Patrick McGoohan's character in The Prisoner, I see an opportunity in everything!
I think that diddy body would probably be a better fit than the female Kumik one I have for my Short Round. I would need to get rid of the big hairy plates of meat though.

Cutting out the lining and glueing down the collar go a long way. With age though, the outside of the jacket is pretty fragile and tears easily, so tread carefully with the futzing.

You can see the glue starting to give on the right side of the collar here, this is on the SS TOD fig.

Here's what I cut out, enough of the back/shoulders/arms so it sits better but where you wouldn't see it if some of the inside was exposed.

I cut the liner out using your photo as a guide, glued the pockets, glued the collar. This is where I'm at right now. Need to get a new peg for the head as right now it's just resting on the stock body. Once I get that in place not sure how much more I'll futz with it. I'd like to weather it but I'm afraid I might destroy the jacket

 

[TonTon]

Nice! The jacket already has a bit of a weathered feel to it and honestly it seems to brittle now to really do much with it.

Maybe some steps with the shirt if you're looking to customize a bit more. You could replace the buttons with some more in scale nail heads, and adding the peg will help. A bit of water while the shirt is on the body always helps too, can tame the collar a bit.

Hi Guys

I was wondering what the going rate for a MJ Choi Painted Indy Sculpt is these days as I would like to sell to someone here if they would be interested. Not looking to nickel and dime anyone just seeking a fair amount.

Sadly after selling my Yunsil set and not having the time, energy, or funds to buy another or get a Iris set I think Indy is that one figure we all want but never got. It seems that way for me at least.

Great customs in here btw, even if I don't get my own Indy I can ogle all yours.

I used a Star Ace Year One Draco Malfoy body for my Shortround custom figure. I did post a few pics on here a while back, but everyone just ignored it and no-one made any comments, so I just assumed that no-one was interested in making a Shortround figure!!!

Anyways, here he is again, in case anyone is interested:

 

[grinchy]

lots of great info in this thread, loving the shortround that you did timemeddler, very cool

@Timemeddler

I did actually see your Short Round picture a few weeks back and meant to ask you about it, the shirt in particular, but I went and forgot. Sorry.

What shirt did you use? It looks really good. Also can you pose him standing in front of Indy like the scene at the end in the village? That is how I pose mine to see how he compares to Indy. I put ankle extenders on my Indy to get him to look even bigger.

In regards to the new sculpt I took some more pictures of the new Inigou sculpt with the Iris jacket and also my repainted Treasure Hunter sculpt with the Iris jacket. I probably need to have the new Inigou sculpt sitting higher on the body but I can't find me blu tak!

Ps. Uploading pictures on this site is a real pain. It is not exactly user friendly.

 

[EcklecticBadges]

Here is a few pics with the peg attached inside the head. I forgot to put that in on previous shots. The head now sits slightly higher.

 

[davejames]

Didn't realize the expressions on the V2 and V3 were so similar. Hopefully for the next one he'll change it up a bit more.

I do see the smirk more clearly on the v3. Although, a smirk makes me think James Bond more than Indiana Jones.

I would love to see a stronger, more determined Indy sculpt from Inigo, something akin to the Sideshow expression. I'm not on FB and Inigo no longer checks in here but can someone please post that request on behalf of me?

 

[EcklecticBadges]

I am sure a few people have asked him to do an angry more intense look previously on his page.

 

[TonTon]

Curious how the size is in hand, but this seems too close to the v2, which I was never fully convinced by. Nice sculpt, and I really do like it for my Deckard but somehow it never seemed like 100% Ford, I guess that can be said for all the sculpts though.
