1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[faststreetsofhongkong]

Also with customs people come up with all kinds of creative ideas to make their figures better.

I finished my Grail tablet. Here it is next to the Sideshow version. I will need to work on getting the text more visible but for a first ever attempt I think it looks pretty good.

I have also repainted my Raiders Indy head again, darkening the skin tone, and put the Hasbro jacket on him. I attached a silver zip and the back buckles and also glued down the collar. Not as good as the high quality clothing but I am happy with it. Of my 15+ custom Indy figures this is in the top five for me!

It doesn’t matter how much it costs. What matters is that your efforts are produced a very excellent Indy, and the jacket looks good too, because you actually have the shoulder seam in the correct spot, and it is hanging at the proper length. Some people on here previously, who are much smarter than me, have put up suggestions previously regarding weathering the jacket, that’s about the only thing I think you need to do, it’s really awesome, great work [emoji1303]

Vietnam belts work well once you change the OD Green to brown.

Thank you very much!

Would you happen to please have any links? I just searched on eBay but could only fine one with £40 shipping to UK!!

Thanks again.

Thanks for the kind words, Faststreets.

I think I will attempt to weather it at some point. I just worry I may bugger it up by doing so. Ha ha.

So if anyone is on the iris run i started I'm posting this. Iris sent me images of different samples of real leather to see what would be best and close in terms of color to the raiders jacket.

What size are those swatches?

Trying to get an idea of texture at 1/6.

Just got word that Silentsurfer finished the paint-up for my Jnix Indy. Super excited to get this in hand, especially since the Iris clothing set now seems to be moving along.

That's a beautiful finished sculpt, TonTon. Totally has those eyes like when Indy runs up into an extreme close-up in the Streets of Cairo.

Congrats man beautiful paint up from the master as always. I actually sent my unpainted jnix to iris so people have an idea of the sculpt with the outfit. Lol might get it painted by Nathan also after seeing this though i do have my inigou v3 painted by him.

Looks nice, though I like Inigo's hat better, that one looks like a shrunken SSC Raiders hat. If anyone has a spare Inigo hat......

 

[TonTon]

Thanks, guys.

Have been using the Sideshow TOD head so this will be a huge upgrade. Agreed on the hat, the Jnix one seems a bit smaller than it should be and maybe more like the size of the Last Crusade hat? I also have the HT hat to try.

I guess the HT would work if the head is smaller. It would be nice if Inigo would do a run of just the hat.

Stunning.

Congratulations!

Check it out. I have now managed to make quite a few Grail tablets. I am still trying to getting the balance right between the colours and getting the writing to really pop.

I have also decided to start making some Fate of Atlantis items. I have finished the digging urn and am working on Sophia's necklace and the amber fish on a string. I remember using the latter when trying to find my way out of the underground maze in Crete! I plan on having a custom Indy made up with him dangling the amber fish on the string in one hand whilst it points to his other hand in which he is holding the orichalcum beads. Just like in the game.

I also have an idea for a diorama based on the scene where Indy has to activate the old bull and open the gate. I think it would look awesome. I could make the bull out of clay as well as the floor, walls and door etc. I could find some real cogs and some chains to replicate the workings.

That's really cool. I still like the fate of atlantis game and reread the comic every year or so.

Thanks. It is a great game. I still have my Amiga version and the comics. With a few more action scenes added it would have made a decent Indy movie I reckon.
