Just bumbled back in here and ------- HOLY COW! That's unbelievable!

Dead on HARRISON FORD!

I can only hope that the realized 3-d print can recreate what you have there.

But in any event, FANTASTIC portrait!

It is, and it's always the best ones that are inaccessible to mere mortals!

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

Thanks guys! Really appreciate all the positive comments, all very motivating The final result of the sculpt wouldn't be possible without the helpful feedback I've gotten here. I think Hot Toys and Sideshow could really benefit getting feedback from members here before releasing their products.

Just a quick update on my casting experiments. Thanks to some helpful advice from Leia and Jon Neill, I managed to shrink the mold and make a smaller casting of Bond. It looks good asides a few air bubbles and a blown out ear (due to one of the vents being blocked) I still can't tell if there is shrinkage in the horizontal as the bigger master still looks a little wider. I might try slushing the resin as a test to prevent any horizontal shrinkage. Anyone know if the slush cast shell can be filled with resin after? Or will the resin filler shrink and distort it?

Hmm, it's difficult to tell in that pic as the details on the white head are washed out.

Beast, you need to grab yourself some digital calipers and go to town.

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

True! I think I got a pair at work I can borrow

The details are all in there, though the white resin is very tricky to photograph. I've got a slush cast in the mold at the moment. Gonna see how that turns out in a bit.

Mate
is there a list for indy?

 

[Rogerbee]

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

You need to go back a page, sorry!

@Beast: You could always bung a coat of grey primer on if you want to photograph it.

That's a perfect Harrison Ford head. I'll take one if you make some.

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

You really should read the threads, I suggest you go back a couple of pages.

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

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, I've had zero time for sculpting and 1/6 stuff these days I started tinkering with Indys hair for an hour last night and how it would look under the hat using the inside of the hat as a guide. Looks wierd, though I dont think there are any images of him with sweaty hat hair

 

[Rogerbee]

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

That was pretty much what HT did with their head. As you'll keep the hat on it shouldn't really matter what's under there. So long as you maintain the likeness the rest will all be fine.

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

Cheers RB. I've been studying a few images and think I got a good idea now

I've realized HF head is actually quite wide and diamond shaped, so reshaped his bone structure and he looks much better.

No worries,

When you work with an icon, when you nail the iconic bit, the rest should then fall into place.

I decided to bleach my HT Indy shirt and using a combination of dyes got it a really nice sand/grey color.



Also 3d printed out some buttons! and some Skyfall cufflinks.

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