I cut the center rod portion out, drilled a small hole in each ball joint, then cut a small nail to length to use as a connecting rod and with a dab of superglue in each hole and on the ball joints I pushed them together.How did you fuse the two ball joints? I basically have mine sitting in place with museum putty.
This looks MUCH better and very reminiscent of Ford's build when he was in RaidersI swapped mine over to the Worldbox body also. The neck peg that came with Indy was too small and the one on the body was too long so I ended up cutting that one down and just fusing the two ball joints together to get his head yo sit properly. Worked great and I much prefer this over that junk body he came with.

How long did it take for this clothes set to arrive at your location? My set hasn't moved for almost a month.
This one on eBay ;-)
Took about a month for mine to arrive in the UK. The pants are better than the stock ones which are too skinny, but prefer the present toys shirt.How long did it take for this clothes set to arrive at your location? My set hasn't moved for almost a month.
The smiling sculpt isn't my favorite that's for sure, I prefer the unrecasted sculpt but this sculpt is very expressive.I prefer that smiling sculpt over the neutral one. I see more Ford in it.
Nice shots! Sugo asked me to pay mine off a couple of weeks ago and haven’t heard anything since.Seemed to take forever for Sugo to get this figure in but he finally got here. Spent the weekend doing some major repainting of the sculpt and added new trousers I bought previously and dyed to a closer shade. Lots of weathering and fun stuff. One thing I highly recommend with this sculpt is adding the tiniest amount fo green and brown alcohol inks to the irises. The blue is just too bright for me and hurts the likeness. A slight and I do mean slight darkening with these transparent colours brings more of Ford out to me.

Will probably do some more bits and pieces and I guarantee I won't be able to help myself do some more work on the head paint work, but happy to display like this for now.
The buckle is hinged as opposed to being a slider-type buckle. I managed to undo the buckle using a small slotted screwdriver as a wedge and some pressure on the web belt itself. Hope that helps. Wasn't a fan of the belt they used.Excuse my stupidity but I've just received the Worldbox AT011 body for upgrading my Indy and I can't for the life of me figure out how to unfasten the damn buckle on the Present Toys Indy pants belt. Can anyone enlighten me as I can't pull the pants down as the belt is on too tight! Thanks in advance
Thanks. I'll give it a go. Appreciate the tipThe buckle is hinged as opposed to being a slider-type buckle. I managed to undo the buckle using a small slotted screwdriver as a wedge and some pressure on the web belt itself. Hope that helps. Wasn't a fan of the belt they used.
This second pass looks significantly better than the first one. It looks great!Some more work. Getting there I think. Decided to do the beard stubble differently as the airbrush technique doesn't really work when it's sculpted. I think this looks neater/better.
