It depends when you paid. I'm not expecting mine till well into next month.

Did you have to do anything to get the head to fit? Mine sits right on top of the hot toys Indy neck and kinda makes him look like a giraffe.

No, I didnt do anything but give the head a little push and twist
and it sits on there fine. Though check your casting. Mine did have
a little rough spot on the bottom of the neck and depending on
how well its cleaned up by the caster, it may prevent the head
from sitting on there correctly.

Could be that I used the regular HT muscle body TTM-19 as well.
It's been sitting there so long waiting for the head, I dont recall
exactly which one I used.. Guess I'll look.

The neck on yours doesn't look as thick, it looks a little like the body I've used.

Actually, I just checked it. It is the TTM-19. I remember now, I had
an extra one laying around and liked the slightly shorter neck vs the
normal body. It fits perfectly on it and no giraffe neck.

Here's a couple more of Harrison for comparison:

Based on those I'd say WGP got the chin about right, the proportions are good too.

Oh, cool! Just shows what different photos can show. I used the body I did because I wanted a little bit of giraffe neck, I have the Relic Hunter shirt and the collar is just a little bigger than some are. I like it as I can futz it to look exactly as it does in real life.

OK shaved the chin down a bit on mine, my preference I guess, dropped the hat and broke the back of the brim off, so careful it is much more brittle than I thought. After some super glue, magic sculpt and luck here he is, I still have some detailing and weathering to do but what do you folks think?

Totally nailed the skin texture on him! Superb work. Have you thought of matching the body to it ? You can work wonders on the stock Indy body.

I was in the first lot but my one was sent to SilentSurfer instead of to me. So I'm wait for SS to send it back to me

Oh, on the upside he could already have painted it for you!

BTW, do we really need to see Murder's pics every time someone quotes the post!? The text alone tells you what you're quoting, you can delete the pics.

Thanks,
I still have some work to do but thought people were waiting for pics so I threw them up. The head is sitting on the neck in those pics I haven't attached the neck joint to the head yet. I definitely will be blending the neck before I'm all done.

Looks really good, I think the mouth in wrong...something odd there in...IMO

Actually the TTM-19 is what I used, I didn't want to part out the HT figure so I bought individual pieces to make this one up and kept the original in the box. I'll check the casting again, mine did have some rough spots I had to Dremel.

It should look great when it's fully finished. I might have to strip mine and repaint the upper torso to match the paint I plan to use on the head.

I too have loads of Fuller's earth, I swear by the stuff. I give it a blast of pastel fixer if I want to keep it on.

Re: WGP's RAIDERS Jones- at casters now!

Oh well, I guess you guys must be busy painting him!
