1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[TheFiend]

There was some pics of the head/person taken apart to remove the guyliner and some pics showing the inner head shaved down but I can't find either set of pics. Can someone preposterous them? Thanks.

Wonder if nail polish remover would work better to remove the guyliner than an exacto knife.

I just painted over it and blended it in.

Shew!!!!! That was NOT pleasant. The scariest part is putting the PERS back in. They actually 'pop' back in. I thought i broke them but i got it. Thanks man!

Yup. You sure can. That's what I just did. Now I gotta find that pic of what to shave down the thin out the head. Any help would be great.

Hey guys

Anyone knows this custom HS by https://www.joyandtomstudios.com/ ?

A local seller asks 100 USD for it...is this a fair price?!

 

[youbastards]

I think $100 for a pre-painted head is a fair price, but I don't see much resemblance to Ford in that sculpt. That exact same sculpt has been on eBay for $150 for quite some time.

 

[bmarz1000]

Personally I'd hold out for the WGP sculpt.

Snyder-man. He's on the boards too.

I own that head and it is nice. Pictures don't do it justice, but don't take my word for it. If the seller is local to you I would meet up with them somewhere and look at it in person. For Raiders era Indy it is as good as HT and SS if not better. $100 is a fair price if it has Snyderman's paint job or one comparable to it. As mentioned he sells them on ebay (and here) painted for $50 more than this persons asking price. You should also check out Snydermans feed back on ebay for opinions on the head from other people who actually bought the sculpt. I reserve judgement on the WGP as I haven't seen pictures of the actual castings. I don't like computer sculpts as they seldom translate well to actual 3D. I wasn't blown away by what has been shown so far. The hat looks to small. Maybe a painted casting will change my mind?

Ok, thanks for all the feedback. I'll get in contact with the seller...dig for some info of what source he got it, and so on. Somehow I like the portrait better than HTs.

EDIT: Just got in hand photos - not so sure yet, he said its from Snyderman himself painted:

Also on this probably the HT hat won't fit....

Ok, I'm thinking of making my own holster for Indy but I'm having a tough time sourcing materials. If anyone has any suggestions it would really help. Also, it would be great if there was like maybe a blueprint on what the holster looked like "unravelled" that way I won't have to come up with it myself. If there even exist such a thing. I could have swore I saw something like that. Don't know if it was on here though. Help!

Gotta love indygear.com! This is for the Raiders style holster.

My brother discovered, years ago, that the inexpensive vinyl (or "pleather") with the cotton backing is the perfect thickness. All you have to do is remove the cotton backing which usually peels right off.

This is Ben's Indy as of February 2011. He's made a few modifications since. If anyone is interested, I can take some newer pictures.

Josh, is that all Sideshow based?

I used Styrene.

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

Mr Fusion, please do post more pics!

 

[FLOSI]

I used Styrene.

Where can you find styrene for sale?

Yeah, that looks good. I've never worked with it and I looked on ebay and online hobby places but all I see is white. I guess you painted it yourself? Looks great!
