Nice! I see you glued the collar down and futzed a bunch. What else did you do, Para?

The "Now" collar is now is too neat for the one-armed shirt.

Unlike most sixth scale shirt collars, it's the messier the better for this one.

I still haven't got round to water treating (soaking) the shirt ion mine yet.

Great photos as always!

Thanks

I was going to lower the head but I think it came out ok stock on mine.

Water treatment and futzed the shirt and trousers.

Followed another members advise and glued the loose strap down on the sleeve.

Glued the collar tips.

Lowered the brim of the hat.

Put some coins in the satchel/bag to give some weight.

That's it so far, so not much but really liking the differences.

It's just personal preference. I like the collar tidy

I usually do as untidy collars annoy me.

What do you guys use to get the sweat appearance on the body and headsculpt?

Has anybody come up with a solution for the hairgap?

Great pics, para! What are your thoughts on the figure?

Only thing that still bugs me are the Clockwork Orange lower eye lashes, but I still plan on trying to grab the figure at some point.

Overall I'm very happy with this figure. It just screams Indy. Sideshow really have put out a great piece. Personally, I have no issue with the sculpt, I certainly see Ford. Clothing is great, the hat is a little disappointing. Love the machete. So yes, very pleased and I much prefer it to the DX05 and even quite a few customs I've seen.

great pics, para, thank you.

Thanks

Liquid floor wax, looks milky dries quickly with a sheen. It is water soluble so it can be mixed with acrylic paints and applied as a wash. I used this technique on mine, photos posted a few pages back.

Ok let's try this again. My photos yesterday were an embarrassment.

Weathered shirt, added real blood (my own) to the fabric on the back. Added sweat effect. Mike's holster and whip.

Kudos to you, I think you might be the first to literally shed blood over a 1/6 scale figure.

Whats the deal with the Painted right forearm ? looks awkward since the upper arm and hands are not painted to match that off colored grayish look

Has anybody tried fitting the kotcs fedora on this sculpt at all?

Got Indy today! Here's a quick pose out of the box:



Overall, I'm quite happy with him. I was worried about the size of his head and hat in photos, but in hand they seem okay to me from some angles.

I also did a quick comparison of the head sculpt with my Hot Toys Indy. I still love my Hot Toys Indy, but I can really see more Harrison Ford in the Sideshow sculpt. The Hot Toys head needs the perfect angle and lighting for it to shine.



Happy to have both up on the shelf together! And with the announcement of the new Indy film, I'm expecting more company on the shelf. Is Sideshow the only one who will be making sixth scale Indy figures from now on?

Man, that hat...!!!

 

[Timemeddler]

Looking at it again, that hat does look pretty ridiculous! And the facial likeness is a little off too!

Does this dry into a flexible layer? I 'm asking for possible application to pleather accessories.

I added the liquid floor wax wash technique to the shirt, and it seems fine- the fabric is still pliable. I did not test it on pleather though.
