Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

How is the progress on this coming?? Are we any closer to seeing a primed sculpt?

Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

I did do a quick test spray on the old version. Though I've made more tweaks to the model since then and just need to get round to another test print. I'll probably keep doing this until I am 100% satisfied (or fed up) with it

That looks awesome ! And you're not happy with it ? I'd be happy to take that off your hands if you're just going to bin it - seriously. It will give me something to practice my paint work on until you release the definitive version.

Beast, your Indy is looking great!! Dont over work it

I hope that you don't mind, but I've adjusted the colour of your photograph to bring out your details better. Damn if this isn't the best likeness oh Harrison I've ever seen. The sculpt has so much emotion in it, I'm really loving this.

That looks beautiful! I really hope you offer this so I can put it on my Yunsil Indy set.

You've improved perfection.

Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

Indy is looking great, though am I to understand that you are still doing these for your own amusement and not as items for sale?

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

Cheers rbee. Not in any rush to release this at the moment. The whole MJ thing changed my perspective on releasing works though maybe in future.

 

[Rogerbee]

Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

Did MJ not end up releasing his or something? I don't mind if you release it or not, but, judging by the replies a lot of people think you are doing your stuff in order to release it. I keep telling them it's not the case, but, maybe the title needs to say NOT AN INTEREST THREAD.

Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

MJ is still releasing his, there was just a bit of a negative reaction when the cast of the sculpt wasn't as good as everyone had hyped it up to be. Of course, MJ doesn't ever change his sculpts after the proto, and the proto paintwork had a few key areas that didn't help the likeness.

It's a shame that the MJ thing has worried Beastmaster about a negative reaction, I'd love to see this sculpt released at some point. But take your time Beast

Hmm, really nice work but I think I kinda prefer the previous version to be honest. This one almost seems to be morphing a bit too much into your Drake now.

Although it could just be me.

I think what Beast is referring to was the fact that MJ's sculpts have been recast, and he (understandably) doesn't like the idea of some scumbag making money off of his hard work. A perfect example of the detrimental effects of recasting, or supporting a recaster.

Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

Your updated digital sculpt is mindblowing ! I could imagine a Han Solo with this expression, wow what a figure that would be ! Hot Toys sign this man up !

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

Re: CUSTOMIZINGS: Indy • Solo • Drake • Bond etc.‏

Yep, Marf hit the nail on the head. I probably should have been more clearer on the MJ 'thing'

Thanks for all the positive words guys. This latest version I am pretty satisfied with now. It definitely has way more Ford than the last. The test print finished today and looks great! Once it's cured and fixed up will post pictures.

Ah, I see. It's such a damn shame that those scumbags ruin the hobby for everyone else.
