My Latest Acquisition! 1:1 Indy Bust!!

[Eli26]

Is this a 1 off or can people get more?

Great score matthew!

Is it a Howard S. bust? I have one of Howards Indy busts which I've attached to a mannequin. Looks great.

No, but this is a new one I'm currently working on...

That's looking amazing, Howard! Lovin those sculpted clothes! Probably going to be your best Indy yet! Can't wait to see it when it's finished!!

According to the plaque on mine, it is limited to only ten pieces.

Update: So as much as I love the base for the bust, I can't resist making Indy full size!

I got most of the clothing today, still waiting on a couple more things, then I can start.

Here's the authentic lamb Wested Raiders jacket I got today after a bit of weathering/distressing done with sand paper and beating the jacket on some dirt:

I should have him completed in a couple days (give or take), so keep a look out!

Thanks! The sculpted clothing are going to be scrapped, this bad boy is going to be done in silicone... with hand punched facial hair, etc...

I love your work Howard but there is something wrong with the eyes. Too small? Too close together? I can't put my finger on it.

Great score! One of the BEST Indy likeness and 1:1 busts I've seen to date. Congrats!

Howard - Hehe yeah I know that was before the pics showed up again, I love your work and I've been following your progress on the new Indy on TheRPF.

Are you going to sell some of those silicone busts? Perhaps without punched hair? I know that's really time consuming so people could do that themselves, and keep the cost down. As much as I love my resin Indy bust from you, I'd love one in silicone aswell!

 

[mattman6886]

Okay! Indy is pretty much all finished up! I still want to do some more distressing on the jacket, diry up the pants a bit, get a more accurate whip, probably get a better gunbelt and holster (this one is a cheap rubies costume one), and maybe do something with the base. Anyways, here he is!!

 

[Kredepops]

Looks awesome! Great display!! and wow what a dvd collection!!!

 

[Mr.E]

Get that bad boy dirtied up! Looks great so far man.

 

[mattman6886]

Thanks! Yeah, over ten years of buying dvd's really adds up!

Thanks! Oh I plan to dirty him up quite a bit!

Here's my 1:1 Indy, I finally got it painted last weekend. It's Howard S. first Indy. I bought it directly from him on ebay many years ago. I left it unpainted until last weekend. It always seemed like such a daunting task to paint it realistically, but once I got into it, it was fun!

Although painting the stubble too me about 8 hours :S I might thin out the eyebrows a bit.

 

[mattman6886]

Looks great Kredepops! I agree that the eyebrows should be thinned a little, but really great job!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

That's looks pretty good.

 

[Kredepops]

Thanks guys, When you think about it, HF has really weird eyebrows, they always look a bit 'random'

The ones I've painted definitely needs thinning to look right. I always get a bit impatient a the end of a project and the eyebrows were the last thing I did.

Anyhow, didn't want to steal your thread Matt, I just wanted to show you pics of Howards version

I took some photos of my 1:1 Indiana Jones today in the garden.

I've worked hard on trying to do a perfect SA Temple Of Doom outfit for many years and I think I'm getting close. A few months ago I finally painted my Howard S. Resin bust and mounted it on a mannequin to display my costume.

Sorry about the gloves, but I'm still working on a pair of Latex hands.

I decided to go easy on the stubble, as a five o clock shadow can easily looks fake when just painted on.

Hope you like my ToD Indy. He's the crown of my collection.
