Indiana Jones figures

[hemble]

Hi All
I'm making different 1/6 scale Indy figures from the the 3 movies and was wondering the suit he wears when he's boarding the plane in Raiders to go after Abner the suit he wears it black or blue.
I've looked at the DVD and it looks black to me any help would be helpful.

Hi Hemble. Welcome to The Raven. :D

In answer to your question, the suit that Indy wears whilst boarding the plane is navy blue pinstripe, and I'm pretty that this is the same suit he is wearing at the end just before the Ark is wheeled away.

Hi All
Here is a work in progress of Indy in dsesert disguise has he appears in Raiders when he is in the map room.
The head is from the Frontline painted with arcylics , the head piece and belt is an old hanky which was painted white .
The bag is from elite brigade(japanese bag) converted and a leather strap added and repainted.
The the boots and pants are from DML and repainted , the arab cloak is hand sewn and slighty dry brushed and the hand book is made from a piece of old thin cardboard.

All I have to say to this is that the image we give of ourselves here may not always be in direct correspondence with the reality.

<small>Now, what did that actually mean? You really think I'm going to tell?</small>

As Comic Book Guy would say: "Worst reply ever." ;)

[Finn]

Okay, I'm coming out of the closet. I am a fat nerd who lives with coke and pizza. My skin is all white because I'm afraid to go outside and besides, you can get the FAP*-syndrome out there. You guys are my only link to social life. I earn money to order more pizza and coke by raising weed for the skinny neo-hippies living across the street and upkeeping a spam mail server in my basement. I'm 27 years old and haven't been with a woman ever in my life. Actually, one crazy female thing tried to get me on once, but gave up because I jumped off from the sheets after every time my comp beebed to inform me of a new incoming IRC-message.

But still, I'm happy with the way I live. It's my choice. And I know that I'm one true 31337 compared to all of you others.

Where is your sense of humor, big man? Besides, you're not even modding this area...


OK, let's get back on topic. I'll go and water the weeds.

Hey Finn, do you mean coke as Coca-Cola or.....

[Ayrun]

Cool!
Looks great!

[intergamer]

Wow, that's very impressive.

[macwizard]

How did you make this guy at work? Is this you job or hobby?

[hemble]

Thanks guys

mcwizard- I do security work every 4th Saturday which is a 10.5 shift so there's nothing to do so I'm allowed to bring in my customs or my militray models to do.

Ron

[macwizard]

well, you did a great job

[ElodieJones]

He is really perfect !!!

[vaxer]

It's very nice! I really wonder how you shaped the head and all...you've got a great talent.

[Trevor G]

Great work! I love that this is a custom. That's impressive! the work on the head is great. I'd have to say this is my favorite Indiana Jones doll I've seen...I like the feeling of a well done custom as opposed to a manufactured piece.

I'm even more inspired to make my eventual 1/4th scale indy figure!

thanks for sharing
Trev

[hemble]

[hemble]

Hi All

Well here is another Indy Figure this time in German Officer uniform from The Last Crusade.

the head is from Frontline painted with arcylics and then a matt finnish applied.

The unifom is from DML the only thing missing is the artillary badge as the uniform is an Artillery offiver uniform.
The collar was painted dark green and the epalets and neck insignia were painted red.
The officer's hat was painted dark green, field grey and then piping was painted red, the braiding on the front is string painted silver and then attached with pin heads at the sides.

The boots are from the Hasbro Starwars Imperial officer and the diary was made with pleather attached to some paper that I stuck together.

[Indy Parise]

I've been trying to make my own German Disguise Indy figure but I can't find the right glue to glue on the shoulder boards.

[Indy Parise]

Almost forgot I also need to find the collar tabs tell me where I can get them.

[Indy Parise]

Yeah thats great. I wish I could do something that good. I made my own feeble try but thats alot better.

[hemble]

Thanks guys really appreciate the comments.

Indy Parise - The shoulder tabs are from Dragon try these places I've never seen the tabs seperate but you can get them with the uniforms.

[Joe Brody]

Very impressive.

. . . .where are all the jokes about Prince William being sure to want one?

[Indy Parise]

Hey Thanks. I am also working on a Colonel Vogel figure. I just can't find what medals he had and I can't find the black cap.

[Trevor G]

another great one! I love your heads for your indy dolls.

You're going to have one nice collection!
Trev

[San Holo]

Your hard work really shows,awsome doll.

[Colonel Vogel]

Very very good. That's much better than the Indy model ILM used for TOD's mine car chase. ;)

[Indy Parise]

mine is more of a redress. Nothing made custom and put on the closest headsculpt to Indy I have.

[hemble]

Ron

[Colonel Vogel]

Colonel Vogel - Hiya mate same here always good to more Aussies on the forums I'm in Sydnet how about yourself.

I'm from Perth...

Did you watch Minotaur's Island: Into the Labyrinth on ABC? It's a series about an English archaeologist who explores the roots of the myth of the island of Crete and discovers the Bronze Age civilization. Really good show! :whip:

[hemble]

No at work for 11hrs today and did'nt even know it was on, when is it on again? sounds like a good show.

Ron

[Colonel Vogel]

Next Sunday I think... :whip:

[roundshort]

Wow, great job! At first glance it doesn't look good but give it about 2 or 3 seconds and you realize how great it really is!

[Indyologist]

Now THAT is really, really superb. Beautiful detailing, Hemble. Great job! How much do you charge for him? Where do you sell him-- on Ebay?

[hemble]

Thanks Guys

Indyologist - I'm waiting for more items to come to more indy's I sell them for $150aus which converts to $114us I can let you know when I have more done.

If your interested drop me an e-mail at hemble@zip.com.au

Ron

[Canyon]

Hemble, he's pretty incredible.

Great attention to detail there and I love those pictures, especially the one of him cracking the whip. :D :whip:

[monkey]

Whoah!! 12 inch Indiana Jones? for a moment there I thought I'd mistakenly logged on to a Porn site............

snare......symbol!!

OK..OK.. sorry..... that was rude..........

Great workmanship Hemble. I want to know how you got the leather jacket to look so real, and worn. It's really great!!

And VP......don't worry about the big zipper...a 12 inch man needs a big zipper.

[hemble]

Hi Monkey

here is what I do to give the jacket the worn look

1-For about 4hrs I use the jacket like a stress ball so the leatherbecomes soft.
2-I then get a pot put 3 cups of water in it and then add 1 tablespoon of fabric softner and 1 tablespoon of washing powder.
3-put on the stove till the it boils but be careful you have to keep stirring it or it will boil over.
4-once boiled turn down to a simmer and add the jacket and let it simmer for 20-30min
5- once the jacket dries I drybrush it with blacks,browns and flatearth colours.

Ron

[monkey]

Great attention to detail Hemble. You've truly produced a fine piece of art.

[Canyon]
