1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

Thanks! Both jackets respond really well to a little "weathering".
Correct on the bbi bodies.

I've just received a soldier story body and I am trying to put hasbro boots on it but can't get them on. Do I need to put them in hot water first or is there something else I need to do?

Strange, I got mine on ok.
It takes a bit effort, there's nothing wrong with trying to use some hot water or use a hair dryer from a distance, just enough so the boots are warm.
But they do fit.

Jackets look great Tron. Note that the Raiders coat didn't have that reddish tint in the worn areas like the TOD one did, but your paintwork and weathering look super! Really like how it brings out the wrinkles in the elbow areas. Much, much nicer!
Good stuff!

And to anyone repainting necks, especially the SS one, lightly sand it first. It is too smooth and needs sanding. Also, if you can and know how, score some wrinkles into it, and it will look less molded.
Getting a Soldier Story body also, so I will know that custom area soon myself. Looks cool. Can't wait to see more customs with that one.

Thanks, the hair dryer did the trick

I've reworked my Indy to include a neck . Ideal if you happen to have a spare fedora ...

 

[Mr. Fusion]

Looks good, Paul.

There's a recaster on eBay, called Bionic-Joe, who sells them occasionally. His recasts aren't real great though. They need quite a bit of work.

Here's some pics on my unfinished indy!
He's on a soldier story body but unfortunately the pics are not good i need to make new ones!

 

[Deckard]

Awesome work Elvis, he has to be beat to hell to look right to me.

Pics aren't showing up for me.

edit: They seem to be working now. Nice work. LOVE the split lip.

 

[MANDO]

I think he looks great, Elvis! Love the weathering on his clothes and paintwork on the face.

 

[Darren Carnall]

looks fabulous to me!

 

[DinoLast]

Elvis that looks great.
I have my standard Indy still on his pro body, my White Tux Indy on a True Type but have to say after making bridge Indy, the Soldier Story is my favourite body for him. I have one more hatless head left.
I don't know wether to make a professor Indy or just save it for German disguise Indy

 

[small_studios]

Elvis, looking good on that Indy. Is that the SS hat. It looks a bit taller?

 

[Mr. Fusion]

Elvis, Indy looks fantastic!

German disguise, for sure. Here's the one Ben did:
