Here's another custom of Indy in a suit, this suit is temporary because its not a double breasted one like in the film:

Here is the suit I want him to wear, it was a royal blue and I dyed it navy twice - so I'm going to give it a little black dye to darken it.

I'll post an updated photo when he's done, thanks for looking:gun:

Sorry, the photos did not come through - don't know why it didn't. Here's the link, just click through to see the double breasted suit photos.

It seems that you're not posting the direct links to the photos, but rather just to the page on which they appear, and that's the problem.

Thanks Attila for the reply, as you can see I did try the "Insert Image" icon and got those Xed out boxes so decided to add the link at the bottom - is that what you ment with "rather just to the page on which they appear"? Thanks again.

Thanks, the suit is from the Talking Donald Trump figure which is very cheap on eBay and the trenchcoat is from Disney's "Enchanted" Patrick Dempsey Ken doll.

:D Thought you ment Dark Blue, the double-breasted suit is from the Get Smart figure from SideShow toys. One of the sites I get loose pieces from had the jacket and pants.

Hey Kevin, just in case you are interested in looking for one I put 6 new buttons on the front and used the 4 buttons it came with for the sleeves.:whip:

No offence meant...but are you planning on making the suit darker?

It's sort of flashy as is...

No offence my friend, he's wearing this suit in the mean time. I tried dying it navy when it was a royal blue so now I'm in the process of using some black dye on it to darken it like this one:

Another great custom! One thing to note, those shoes might work better for your Henry Sr, if painted brown, than the Indy boots. The suitcase idea is brilliant! I wouldn't have known it was from a manicure kit.

Thanks Billy Ray,
I did think of that, I based all the colors on the Senior off of the 3.34" figure but I did notice that his shoes looked black in the movie. I did have a spare set of Indy boots and I do have a set of black weathered shoes he had on first when I started him, I may want to revisit that and post a picture for your opinion.;)

Hi
I am interested in doing a 3-3/4 version of Indy boarding the Pan Am clipper (or is it a Short Solent?)

besides getting the right 1/18 scale plane (and I have been looking), not sure what to do about the suit, hat, etc.

are there retailers of 1/18 scale clothing or am I looking at some of my own tailoring work for this?

Mate great use of different parts the figure came together fantastic, keep up the great work.

And Centerfield as for a 1/18 clipper and anything that comes close I don;t think you'll find anything mate. You might have to scratch build it, also you can get some great 1/18 figures now wearing suits so try lookin for them first.
