1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[dantes2501]

Thoughts? I’ll be honest I’m not really seeing it.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Looks a little bloated and the eyes are scary. But it could just be the render.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It does look "wide" or bloated as you say, Fly. All the features are there yet something is just off about the overall shape.

Definitely looks like an older Indy. For Raiders, the jaw should be narrowed and the nose a little less rounded. But there's more to it than that.

Really need to see this superimposed over an actual picture. Sculptors should do that with several pictures at several different angles rather than just eyeball it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I did a transparency overlay but I couldn't get a good balance to post. However, from merging the two images below -- granted the angle is off slightly of course -- it looks like the features need to be pulled further apart. In other words, if I line up the lips, the eyes on the render and too low. That is giving the bloated or 'compressed' look. Also, left ear is too low. Nose too bulbous at tip. Mouth a bit wide. Jaw a bit wide.

Again, this is all based on Raiders.

This sculpt is definitely an older Ford.

Yeah no that's not really an Indy sculpt I'd be happy with. I actually won't bother with these sculpts I'm happy with what I have until a better one comes along imagine if Balloonman does an Indy sculpt later. Lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

imagine if Balloonman does an Indy sculpt

I've been hoping for that for a very long time.

With everything you are able to put together, maybe you could extend some effort in making that happen?

Lol I'd have to contact the man himself.

Make it so.

 

[TonTon]

Better than the earlier attempt perhaps but still not feeling it.

 

[TonTon]

Got my smiling Indy back from the painter. Pretty excited as I still think this sculpt has perhaps the best Ford Indy likenesses, though obviously so scene (or poster) specific to make it a less versatile sculpt than all the others.

Planning a Cairo look at some down the line when I get a better shirt option. (Just noticed the whip handle is hanging all the way down to his boots. )

 

[The Rogster]

Nice!! Yeah, I feel the same way about that sculpt. A great likeness.

 

[Wor-Gar]

FANTASTIC Indiana Jones, TonTon!

 

[matrix69]

Great looking Indy TonTon! Really hope that HT (or some other company) revisit Raiders...

 

[TonTon]

Thanks, fellas! Think we'll see some more Indy attempts with the new movie coming.

If an old licensed Indy comes out great I'm sure I'd pick it up, but I really hope the film ushers in new figures from the original three flicks.

 

[FlyAndFight]

TonTon, that head sculpt looks fantastic. Congrats on adding that amazing sculpt to the collection!

 

[Gipetto0812]

That’s one heck of a great looking Indy! I have a long way to go. I recently picked up the SS TOD figure (should be here tomorrow and a grail figure for me as is), and while I don’t plan to go too crazy with the customizing, I do at least want some real leather items and jacket for it.

 

[K1LLJOY]

That Indy looks amazing TonTon.

 

[Mr.E]

Looks great, TonTon! How did you "tame" the jacket's collar?

 

[Rogerbee]

Nice Indy TonTon!

I think Rocco's renders may look a little wide, but, that may not come out in the print. Some of his earlier heads always came out too narrow when printed and cast. Just have to see what it looks like printed.

Thanks, Gipetto! Sideshow's TOD Indy is a great figure. Definitely some mods you can do like switching out the hat or bag strap, but it's got really good bones as they say.

Thanks, Alex! Slowly building up the Indy collection.

I believe I just glued it down (hot glue IIRC)

Nice Indy TonTon!

Thanks, Rogerbee! Agreed, you only know what the sculpt really looks like once it's printed ... and painted.
