1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Timemeddler]

What did you use to weather your Indy’s jacket? Looks great [emoji1303]

Tamiya weathering powders (sand & light sand), plus some Fuller’s Earth on the shoulders, for the dust effect (which is what they used in the movies to get the jackets nice and dusty).

Flipped the image for you. Looks good.

So this is probably sacrilegious, but here’s my Indy display for the moment. I may have gotten bit by the Indy bug and will maybe do a Raiders figure with the idol display and TOD version with a mine cart display — don’t know if I have the balls for the crazy weathering a TOD version needs though.

Honestly I think it looks great even without the weathering.

I've been really feeling the need for a TOD Indy too, but will probably just wait until I get the Iris set and then convert the current HT outfit I have now. Since the Sideshow figure is going for crazy amounts of money right now.

Funny how that can happen with SSC figures. I actually just picked up an SSC ToD Indy for $11 over original retail -- got lucky compared to eBay prices, but given that over time I'll likely customize it, it'll probably still get pricey. Been combing through the various Indy threads, because you know, I need another rabbit-hole.

hey, I can't wait until there. anyway, I have something abit of confused that manticonvert website is safe for convert image to PNG or JPG?

Looking good TonTon! That Jnix head works really well with the ToD figure!

Thanks, Timemeddler. Glad I picked up the SS figure now, despite its need for various upgrades. But that’s not unique to any licensed Indy figure I suppose. Your Indy collection is looking great. Was the white Tuxedo a custom run?

Thanks for the kind words, bud! Yes, I’m very pleased with my Indy collection. I’ve got a white horse on the way, so I will have a “Pursuit of the Ark” display soon too - can’t wait!!!

No, I built the tuxedo Indy up myself. I bought a white suit (for the jacket), added black trousers and a waistcoat (actually a heavily trimmed and modified DiD Churchill waistcoat!!) and the carnation is a painted Mine Joker flower. Inigo sculpt painted by Mark Simpson. I love how he turned out!

Wow!! Thank you so much for those photos, EcklecticBadges!

Yeah that neck look huge, but with the jacket on he comes together quite nicely actually.

Thank you for your help! I'm gonna order that body and I may get that head too. Gotta start somewhere, right?

I do wanna get the SS Indy as well, so I'm looking for a cheap one as well.


I know the Hasbro clothes aren't as nice as the new ones-- they're literally from 10 years ago! But my budget for this is tiny, (collage jobs don't pay much lol) so for now I'm good with this. Later I'll try to build a better version, hopefully, but for now I really want an Indy that doesn't have his nose smashed into his cheeks! (My talking Indy's face kinda melted from the heat where I live)

Old photo from when he had a Jeff Vargas painted head:

My latest custom Indy: The Fate of Atlantis!

He has the Amber fish on a string in one hand which is pointing to the orichalcum beads in the other. At his feet is the digging tool which I weathered to look like it had been pulled from the depths. I also painted the head so he would look a bit older as the game is set in 1939.

 

[Rogerbee]

Nicely done both of you!

 

[parrasmaniac]

I love the idea of a Fate of Atlantis Indy. Good job!

Great Obi Wan Indy, Time.

 

[TonTon]

Couple outdoor shots, but couldn't do much posing wise as it was a bit windy and the ankles are getting loose.

 

[bmarz1000]

GREAT lighting! That JINX head looks amazing!

 

[Luisenigma1]

With Nathan's paint up looks great.

Beautiful, mate!

Personal Grail unlocked!!!

I should have picked up that Jnix head sculpt as well. I think it looks fantastic.

At least I have the original Han Solo sculpt from Jnix and it has become the "last to sell figure if forced to get out of the hobby"...
