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

This it right here:

So...after looking through this thread going back a couple months I found this link for the body that I wanted for Indy. Problem is this is NOT the correct body.

Wasted $25 for a body that is nothing like the pro and not adaptable AT ALL. So I will try this again. Does anyone know where I can get the Saturday Toys body that IS adaptable for Indy? The 'so-called' ST-1?????

SO ticked off right now.


Edit: Found the right body.

<< was that the original Sideshow Indy or the Premium Format head sculpt?

Elvis1976 made me a new Indy, and I have to say, it's spectacular!!!

Feast your eyes on this baby:

 

[Mad Old Lu]

That is quite amazing.

Where's that gun from LV?

 

[bmarz1000]

I agree, it's AWESOME! The ONLY thing I would change is the holster and belt rig. Paging MFisher...

No idea, mate, just something I had left in my parts bin
It's ok until I find a metal one..

Yup, that's the next step

That pistol appears to be one of the ones by Did.. comes with either the John Coleman figure or their Brit para... can't remember.... oh.. and the belt factory is still in business

Speaking of... once I get the camera out I am about to start offering upgraded 1/6 Indy sidebags.. customized Did bags with real leather straps and metal buckles.. stay tuned this weekend...

Nice! I picked up a new sidebag for my Indy per your suggestion (are you using the same one featured in the pic?) a while back, would you maybe offer just the strap/buckle?

 

[Metal Gear Merry]

Wow, that Indy's brilliant. To be fair I havent seen many, and I only have the shoddy Sideshow one, but that is the best Indy I have ever seen. Looks spot on to me. Very jealous

Mate that is an awesome looking figure, the only thing that is a bit off is the air bubble in the right side upper lip other then that perfect.

Maybe try to find some Newline Mini boots as well? This thing is SO good why not go ALL the way?

thats the same sidebag i am using on my indys, looks much better that the ss one

 

[mfisher]

Thats exactly the bag I am referring to.. (awesome pic by the way).. you can tell these are very nicely made... Did has done a great job on these... what I do is replace the metal rings with screen accurate round rings (the actual military version has D rings, as does the version by Did).. I then add a real leather strap with metal buckle (strap color will vary depending on what film you want) , then I sew a silver disc to the side and weather the bag with Fuller's earth... As for anyone just wanting a strap and buckle, I imagine I can easily accommodate that request as well.. Again, just stay tuned.. literally just walked in the door from work.. planning on getting all of my outstanding orders knocked out tonight then sitting down to photograph these bags...

Awesome news, I'm definitely in for a Raiders strap & buckle!

 

[hemble]

The Did bag looks fantastic and I'm going to have to look and see if I can pick up a few.

mfisher - You said you weather the bag using Fuller's earth, does it make the bag darker in appearance or is it more of a subtle weather.

Ron

 

[mfisher]

Fuller's earth gives it a dusty worn look.. does not darken it...

 

[MarfMaster]

Do you have a link to where I can get some Fuller's Earth mike? Not sure how easy it is to apply, but I'd like to try some out on my Indy gear.

 

[mfisher]

I got mine from Todd's costumes.. ( excellent source for 1/1 scale Indy gear.. I have his Indy gloves that I use for yard work, stacking firewood etc, and his Raiders sand bag, knife and shirt.. great stuff !)... usually fuller's earth comes in large quantities only but he sold it in small bottles that will last you forever for figure purposes... not sure if he still carries it but you can go check out his site and see.. just google "Todd's Costumes"
