1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Figure5901]

Nice.. convince your wife to make a dozen and sell them here

My thoughts exactly. Man, I should have thought of that.

If the dart was made of paper I'm sure you would have!

What would be the best body type to use for the spare head that came with the SS Raiders Indy? I wanna make a custom German Indy.

 

[bmarz1000]

Truetype Narrow Shoulder from Hot Toys. Alternately, there are a LOT of good alternatives on Ebay or Cotswold Collectibles.

 

[saunders45]

Is the HT body the easiest? I'm not looking for a fancy pose or anything. I've got the german uni, just need a spare body.

Narrow Shoulder knock-off as bmarz mentioned. $18-26 on eBay.

 

[saunders45]

Ordered a knock-off for $23. Thanks guys.

I got a german did jacket and a green cap plus insignes. I'm sure we can work something out.

As a tip, you should use the leather pouches from did. Look better as the ss ones. (Lol@ss). Also the boots from did are better. Finish the figure with fullers earth for the dust effects. I like the ht head for this the best. Pictures should be in this thread somewhere.

What is the brand name of the decent knockoff? Or do they just show up if you search for true type narrow shoulder?

 

[Pixelpiper]

Just search for 1/6 narrow shoulder or simply 1/6 body - there may or may not be a brand name in the title, but that's just there to help searches, they're unbranded product.

Truly stunning Robert! Great work! By the way, our "friend" in South Carolina weathered my bazooka!

 

[bbl]

Thanks, without the fedora the ht sculpt works. I used fullers earth on mine. Your weathering looks much better. The yellow bar should not be all round. It should have a gab. But we both know our friend from south carolina is a gifted artist . And a great guy. How's your bike coming along?

Thanks. I've got boxes of figs from Dragon and a few DID's as well. I shouldn't have much problem sources the parts I need. I'm leaning the Wehrmacht Officer route.

Cool no problem. Good luck. Would like to see some wip pics.

I should have the body late next week and hopefully give it a start.

 

[ShortRound]

My Indy with his new hat. Changed it from the original PF shrunken hat to the SS KOTCS hat. Big thank you to Rahmier for painting the hat and doing a little touch up work. Just love the way it came out.

 

[bbl]

No offence, but either the hat is too big or the sculpt is too small. The hat does look great though.



Best,

Robert
