Hey Proteus,it looks good but you added way too much sweat on his chest.While it may not look that great right out of the box,after a few mods to the sculpt it turns out looking like the BEST Harrison Ford representation currently available.PERFECT examples of this is all the work that Rorywan did as well as Guyver,Ray Ferrarro BBL,etc., so for you to say this is far from being Indy is in my personal opinion an understatement to say the least!By the way,AWESOME WORK EVERYONE!!You know you guyz have taken this Indy to a whole new level and some works are just jaw dropping!I haven't finished modding my Indy but seeing all these INCREDIBLE works makes me wanna go and finish what i started!THANX!^_^
Hi CeeemOr.
I always says that i'm only expressing my opinion,even when these artists(to me they're artists) did awesome mods,even with that,this esculpt only looks a little to Indy under certain angles and with some sepecific light,not all the time and in every angle works like indy,you're probably seeing the selection that they're are doing of the best angles and pictures,but when you look to your figure with not too much light,or in regular circunstances in your studio with no especific posses etc,just the figure,the likeness doesn't work (to me)doesn't mind how well painted it is or how hard work you spent in the mod.you can improve the indy feeling,but it is is like the stunt for the hard scenes in the film,but not Indy.
Sayd that,i think they did an awesome mod work with a poor sculpt.
honestly,i don't know how happy they are with his toy,but i think that there are a lot of room to improve the likeness,HT proved it with other figures,but i think Arnie kim is too much overated,this sculpt is very similar to the old sculpt that he did years ago,and then,it had same weak points...and it was years ago,so at least we should have seen any improvement in his work,but not this time....i hope that if they do any other indy in future,they will hire another more talented guy.
the excess of varnish is solvable,the poor likeness,unfortunately,not so easy...
Is it the best Indy up to date?
Yes it is,but far yet to be a good Indy.At least for me.
I have seen the attemps that other sculptors are doing(in other thread) with him,smiling,serious and wth that i think are more closer to the Indy feeling than this on from HT...
