youbastards Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks! I re-watched Temple of Doom today to see if there were any more tweaks I could make to Indy, had a little fun when it came to the bridge scene... "MOLA RAM....PREPARE TO MEET KALI.....IN HELL!" I was surprised that the True Type body would allow full movement to recreate the machete stance, the only problem was I had to pull the wrist pegs out a little to make the hands meet.

Punisher Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Love that Cage! What's he look like w/o the glasses and beanie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Camera battery just died, I'll get a picture later. Check out this post to see the Kaustic Plastik figure. Basically, the short answer is "Terry Crews". Edited August 12, 2012 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Punisher, here is the Cage head minus hat/glasses: Here is my WIP Raiders Indy, sporting the newly acquired Kato jacket/shirt/pants, along with the Joe Strain whip. I just need to get MFisher's belt/holster and the upcoming WGP headsculpt and he will be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 That Indy is lookin' good! I'm really excited about the WGP Indy. Who are you getting to paint the head? Gonna do it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks Sam! Right now I have Small Studios confirmed to paint one of each of the WGP Indy sculpts, but I have also reached out to Silent Surfer but haven't heard back from him. Clparker04, who did my custom Sankara stones, has done some really good paint-ups. He might be another option, check out his Hasbro Tarkin repaint, amazing!

karamazov80 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those do look good. Silent Surfer has never expressed much interest in doing a commission for me, despite taking on work from guys who just joined recently in some instances. So, I haven't even attempted to ask him in probably over a year. Be nice to have that professional prototype-level work, but. . .what can you do? Skiman has been one of my main go-to guys, his work is very excellent nowadays, and he charges less than some of those others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Here's another 1/6 custom, this time a repaint of the Sideshow Boba Fett in the original 1979 Kenner color scheme, with some liberties taken. I've wanted to do this since the figure was announced, as the original figure was one of my favorites, and it wasn't until years later that I realized out incorrect the figure was in terms of color. It was always one of those things I had just overlooked as a kid. Here's the original Kenner figure: Here is my custom: I figure that this look is after Boba inherits the armor from Jango, and sometime before his official introduction in Empire. :tongue: Edited August 19, 2012 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Great custom! I am trying so, so hard not to buy that Boba. I had it in my hands at Wizard World, but just couldn't pull the trigger. I am just sitting on my hands waiting for Hot Toys to make one. Regarding Cage, that head works great. Now i'm wondering if a Cage movie starring Crews would be a masterpiece or a disaster!

youbastards Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Iron Monger!!! Custom robe and cape for Sideshow Vader. I also moved Vader to a Kaustic Plastic muscle body, which is a more accurate height. The Sideshow Vader was about an inch too tall for 1/6 scale.

youbastards Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hot Toys Bespin Luke (Battle Damaged) I weathered the outfit further, the stock outfit wasn't very dirty. I also gave him the Medicom Ultimate Unison Luke light-up saber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nice pics, and I love the cape on Vader. Isn't Monger insane in person? Pictures do not do him justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks! Monger is massive, but so solidly built, I don't feel like it is as fragile as most HT figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks Sam, yeah that is the TTM19.
