1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Pixelpiper]

For Raiders you still need to tighten that front pinch on the hat.

Did you see that there's a face under the hat? Just checking. IMO, it would still be a great Indy sculpt if he were wearing a diaper on his head.

I have stopped showing enthusiasm for 3D modelling in regards to 1/6th scale heads. Regardless of how good the work is, talented the artist is, you need to see it printed in solid form before knowing if it's worth getting excited about or not. WGP Indy heads looked great as well, but the final product was severely lacking.

He looks a little scared. And blocky.

I agree. Great work, but something still off with the face proportions.

WGP's problem is that they have to outsource for printing and casting so they have no control over what they get back. Beastmaster looks to be able to do the majority of things his end so quality can always be monitored.

Yeah, sure. But I still won't get excited about a digital sculpt (not knocking the skill and artistry involved in any way). I have seen very few CG models transfer well to reality. Show me a beautiful piece of plastic or resin!

Is Beastmaster going to make this available? I thought no.

I know what you mean, but, you only have to look at Nathan Drake to see that even a traditionally sculpted head can go awry when badly moulded and cast.

So far, I think these are personal projects, so we shouldn't push him to produce more unless he expresses a desire to.

Sure I did. The face looks great so there was no need to comment on it. You enjoy your "diaper-head" Indy though.

I thought the likeness looked absolutely spot-on before. For this one I'm afraid it feels a bit off to me. Like the face is a little too narrow, and the eyes and nose a little too big.

Thanks guys, feedback is great its funny as last night my brain convinced me it looked better, then seeing it this morning made me think otherwise. There are some improvements to the facial features so I think with a few more tweaks he should be there. The old version is ok, though I wanted more facial expression. Gonna tweak some more tonight. Ford is definitely a challenge, though its fun to try and break the likeness curse

I think you've come the closest of anybody with this one:



Maybe you could tweak the expression a bit, but the basics I think are already there.

 

[Rogerbee]

I'd be inclined to agree. When you have one that good, it's best to save a copy before making any more tweaks.

Since Harrison will never be nailed by anyone in 1:6 scale....what about a cartoony DAM toys-style version? That would look cool.

Absolutely! I'd grab this one in a New York minute. Excellent likeness!

Oh ye of little faith. That style that DAM do isn't everyone's cup of tea, Indy fans want Indy and that is Harrison Ford.

If you start at the boots and work your way up, those DAM gangsters look good. Then the cartoon head goes and ruins it!

Still waiting for a TOD Indy with much improved realistic head sculpt.

 

[Rogerbee]

SSC might deliver a decent starting point, much as they did with the Raiders one.

Yeah that one looks the better. Will try mixing up the two to see what I get. Otherwise will just go back to that

It just isn't meant to be man. Even the most recent CG mock-up looks great. But during printing or casting or painting it will be lost.

The man, the legend....he is an elusive beast.

Hi gang, need advice, I have a Sideshow Indy I'm trying to upgrade. I'm looking at these bodies on EBay. What do you guys think? I think they are the same bodies just different prices. I have a wide shoulder true type , If anything I might be able to just take pieces of them and combine to make a decent body?
