1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[TonTon]

Some new Gesus Indy shots on IG.

realism is there, but I'd be lying if I didn't say something looked a little off to me in terms of likeness. Could just be the fact that I'm still "green" when it comes to Indy though

 

[The Rogster]

Yeah, looks off to me as far as the likeness. Great quality work though

 

[TonTon]

I probably already said this but for some reason it reminds me a bit of that guy from the Hunger Games. Thor's brother.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I agree, the realism is there, but...

The pale complexion isn't helping. Nose isn't crooked and a little blunt. Eyes look a little beady, maybe small. Hat needs work, fuller brim.

 

[IndianaPaul]

Yep, looks pretty cool, but just a bit off. His nose looks big, almost out of scale with other features. One eye looks bigger than the other as well. The eye brow on his right side is painted kind of odd. Hat seems a bit rough

 

[greatlakes6]

Nose is definitely too large, but otherwise, I think it looks really good. Who painted it?

Also, out of curiosity, are you not able to articulate the head anymore? I've seen a lot of these higher end custom headsculpts with the whole neck and clavicle area sculpted as one piece and often wonder if you basically have a minimally articulated statue at that point? What other poses can you get if you can no longer really move the head anymore.

It is the beady eyes that I initially noticed but an amazing sculpt, nevertheless.

Was wondering that myself. It does look like it's all one piece, and I'm not sure if these types of bust/sculpts can just turn a few degrees in each direction or what. Haven't had anything like that in hand.

These are intended to be more of a museam piece for museam poses etc.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I do like the look of determination in the expression, very clearly realized.

Yea seems like you're super limited in terms of posing. It's a cool concept but never being able to really move the head kind of sucks.

Makes sense. Sort of takes the fun out of having a 1/6 poseable figure though. I'm typically a museum poser myself, but being forced into a certain pose is a pet peeve of mine if I'm not buying a statue. But I guess no company is really making high end 1/6 statues currently, so it makes sense that customizers would take that into their own hands. Queen Studios has done very few - TDK Police Joker and TDKR Catwoman on bat-pod are the only ones I think. I honestly wouldn't mind if there were 1/6 mixed media high end statues on the market. These custom pieces at $800-$1000 just for a headsculpt at times is just killer for me though no matter how good they look.

I'd like to know how it attaches to a body?

 

[Wor-Gar]

If you're going to do a fixed neck like that, then, like the sculpt, it should be reflective of the character -- in this case, Ford had a more prominent Adam's apple, and he tended to angle his neck more forward in body posture.

Agreed.
Here is Andrea's Sculpt I'm waiting on with the same style sculpted neck/chest combo. Should have the proto any day now to check sizing and fit.

 

[Evil_Ash]

I got in on that run! Pretty stoked, it looks so good.

same. Looking forward to my first custom Indy sculpt. Not looking forward to finding a painter, paying the price (though worth it of course) and then waiting more for it to be completed

 

[Lordscum]

Updated the jacket on mine. I wish I could take better pics with the crappy camera on my phone. All the subtleties of the sculpt such as the stubble and skin tone are lost.
