Hi All
This is a nice simple custom that I've wanted to do for a long time, I wanted to have the feel of Indy in the Drak Blue suit from ROTLA but also add my own touches to it. I decided to give him a Dark Blue pinned striped suit but making sure not to make the stripes to dominate.
The suit was given a wash over using watered down material glue and once dry was given 3 light coats of Dark Blue, and again once dry it was given a drybrush of a mix of Dark Blue and Off White to give it a little definition. The handkerchief in the breast was added as I liked the look of it and gave the whole figure that 30's feel.
The enevelope was added to the figure as I felt it needed something else in the dio, it was taken from the net and printed off and glued in place.
RECIPE
1: Body & Hands - The whole figure from head to toe is the SideShow Toys Indy body, except the hands which are from an old Star Trek AMT Scotty figure.
2: Head, Fedora and shoes - Are from Sideshows toys and the whiskers were sanded off to give Indy a shaven look and the head and Fedora were repainted as were the shoes.
3: Shirt & Suit - The shirt is from the Relic hunter and the suit is and old Playmates Start Trek suit, The suit has been modified to fit the SS body.
4: Base - The base is a small picture frame which I got from a craft shop for $2. The tiled floor I scanned from a 1/35 scale tiled floor I have and resized and altered to fit the base.
