NICELY done, Inky! I know what I want for Christmas this year. The concept Indy is wonderful!

Luke Sprywalker said:Inky - I love Marion, the parts you chose are perfect and great sculpting on the shirt. The concept Indy is very cool. I love the Marlboro Man look of him. A bit tougher and muscular look.
I got a bit irritated as I watched ROTLA about 2 weeks ago and I could not find a German Soldier that looked like the figure we got from Hasbro. I must admit my version is not exactly accurate either but it looks a lot better to me. I took them apart, cut off the big ammo packs on the front of all but two, glued on various packs and some have gun holsters to improve the belt. Then the suspenders and belt were painted tan and the packs black. The shirt and pants should be tan as well but I didn't want to go through that now or when/if I open more. Since the suspenders/belt are not green the uniforms look a little more tan now to me, well kinda. All faces, necks, hands have been painted other than the last few. I figure everyone doesn't have the same skin tone so some have 2 layers, some have 3 and some need to be matched better. Not sure the pics show well enough but some of the same sculpt heads have different eye and hair color. Some I just added facial hair and the Joe heads and a few others have removable hats. So here are all my German Soldiers, Mechanics and Supply Staff.
Everyone has done this one so I never posted this one before. I hope to make a diorama for this scene one day...

Charlemagne said:The Master Roshi figure from the Dragonball Z movie line has a ball-jointed Chow Yun Fat head that is in the 3.75" scale. I'm not sure how big/small the ball joint is, however.

Dietrich
Charlemagne said:Awesome concept figure, Inky! Now you should try your hand at a "Tom Selleck as Indy" concept figure
Sherpa said:Jr.Jones, is your Dietrich head a mod of Hasbro's German Soldier head, or is it from a different figure? I love it.
inky_skin said:Okay, while not the greatest fan of KotCS, I did like the character of Mac. Interesting backstory, slightly shady, cool costume. Therefore I figured a custom was due as I think he should have replaced one of the alternate Mutt Williams slots in the official wave.
This shot is a WIP, showing the sculpted elements I've added to the basic parts...
The base is mostly Indy and Captain Antilles. More pics when the paint apps are complete.
Luke Sprywalker said:I was also wondering if anyone thinks this head looks like Belloch? I have some more sanding to do on the chin and final paint job, it looks like a decent resemblance so far to me.
Kevin said:That looks really good. What head did you end up using?
Luke Sprywalker said:Kevin - thanks for the reply, I didn't think anyone was going to... I agree that it is as good or slightly better than the hasbro likeness. I will be moving forward with Belloch after I get a few commissions done.
