Thanks.

I am using one of the Obadiah Stane heads. I cannot remember exactly which one; I re-sculpted the beard and sculpted the hair.

Here is a shot of him:

This is a shot of his hat that I am working on:

Here's a breakdown:
-The head is from the Men in Suits figure.
-The body is Hot Toys
-Customized Sideshow Indiana Jones gloved hands.
-Guns are from Battle Gear Toys and eBay. A better Colt .45 SAA has been ordered.
-Boots are from Battle Gear Toys.
-The hat is made using epoxy (it still needs a little work)
-The entire outfit is made from scratch. He made the patterns himself from screen shots.
-Buttons on vest and jacket are BBI
-Buttons on coat were scrap book brad centers (painted)
-The outfit was weathered, but might also require fuller's earth for a dusty effect.

Indiana's Rooster is about 96% complete.

"Godd*manit."

"Oh, it's just a turkey shoot."

"That didn't pan out."

"Lucky Ned!!!"

"Are ya bit?"

I'm a little surprised there hasn't been more interest in this.

Anyway, here are some updated pics...

The Colt SAA originally had a fast-draw length barrel. It was changed to the Cavalry length barrel using epoxy. The coat has also been further weathered using Fuller's earth. The hat was sanded and repainted. The broken bootstraps were also added.

Great looking Rooster you put together and a very impressive outfit. I think you did a great job on the head and hat though that Obadiah Stane head is small. Have you thought about using the Hot Toys Kevin Flynn head?

Don't let the lack of interest slow you down. It seems these days if you are not selling something or one of the big boy customizers a lot of people don't take the time to post.

Thanks! I like the Kevin Flynn head, but I haven't been able to find one cheap enough.

As far as interest is concerned, I should have expected as much. You hit the nail on the head. I suspect if we made this available, people might pay more attention. It seems fewer and fewer people can be happy to see someone else enjoy their creations without wanting a piece.

I appreciate your compliments.

Looks really good.
Perhaps you change the title of this thread and insert the name of the character and movie. That should definitely bring in more people.

Really nice figure! Would love one myself! There are too few western figures out there.

Great job, man. The film is one of my favorites, and that custom is very well done. If HT ever releases Iron Monger, it'd be pretty cool to see what you guys could do with that sculpt.
