My Indy of KOTCS :

Head scuplt : Medicom ( I buy it at around USD60.00)
Body : Hottoys TT Advance
Real leather jacket and Pants : Made by me

Hi folks

I am from Brazil and new in this forum . I have a Sideshow Indiana Jones figure and I would like to improve it. Could you please give me some advices about what kind of body, jacket, boots, shirts, pants I can use and where I find it? I know that Kato´s clothes are the best but I can´t afford it.
Thank you

Mauro

ok first thing first...if u cant afford a kato set. then a sovereign studios jacket($65) is what ide get ahold of first!!! then a mike fisher belt, gun holster, and whip($110), a head repaint by commtech, dont know how much he charges. and that should be it man. the sideshow shirt, pants, satchel, and shoes are great pieces. good luck man!!

There are a lot of talented painters on the board, but commtech is taking an extended break from painting, so check the customs area here for those offering repaints.

Thank you a lot for the hints. Where do I get the sovereign studios jacket and Mike Fisher itens?
Regards

[ShortRound]

Sovereign is a member of the boards and can be found in the customs section. Mike fisher goes by "mfisher". He's on my friends list if u can't find him.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Great customs showing up lately. Really puts my plain ol' SS one to shame. I gotta think about some upgrades...

That is correct. The reason I'm taking a break is because right now I've had a lot work in my real job. That and the kids alone leave me with very little time to paint and honestly I don't want to be a flake about meeting deadlines.

I'll try to finish your Indy head by next week, Shortie. Yours will be the last head I paint in a while. Sorry for the delay.

 

[ShortRound]

no rush dude! i was kidding! if i really wanted it, i'de go to your house and make u finish it!!

 

[Deckard]

Finally some better pictures of mine.

i've been upgrading my tod indy as i wasnt really happy with the rubber muscle arm he had. bought myself the perseus hot toys on ebay and heres the result! (my only bugbear is a slight giraffe neck but when looking from the side but i can live with that)

i've also tarted up my raiders indy, going back to the sideshow jacket and weathering it (selling soveriegn studios jacket to fund the perseus body)

Hi

Which one is the best for Indy: True Type narrow sholder body or Soldier Story body?
I saw people using a WW2 Charles Winstone boots. Are they correct? Once we can not find the Newline boots anymore what is the best option available today? is the Relic Hunter boots accurate?
Thank you

Mauro

 

[ShortRound]

sideshow's boots are pretty good for me!

 

[Mr.E]

The hasbro boots actually look great repainted. They've got a great sculpt/detail.

ST-1 body fits Indy the best and everything ports over perfectly, you don't even need to trim the wrist pegs. The body is the same height as the Pro but better proportioned which means the clothes will fit perfectly (it's an issue on the TrueType). As for shoes, Sideshow's are fine if you don't feel like dropping $20+ on Newline's.

 

[MANDO]

Agree about the S1 body. The neck hunches just slightly which is prefect for Ford and there's odd-looking neck joint.

While I think the SS boots are just fine I wound up with a pair of these boots when I bought the leggings for something else. I'm sure they aren't 100% accurate but I think they will go to Indy.


Awesome TOD Indy, Chalky!!!

Hi
Thank you a lot for the hints but I didn´t understand about the ST-1 body. Is it from Hot toys? Where can I find it?
Thank you
