FORTUNE AND GLORY - Professor of Archaeology (Painted/Unpainted sculpt) - ORDER NOW!!

[ShadowX81]

This is pretty impressive work. When my next paycheck comes in il have to pick one up.

Will probably be the unpainted one though. I just can't justify $250 for a headsculpt by itself.

Good to hear.
One thing which I think is throwing off the painted likeness is the eyebrows. The original sculpt clearly shows the expression is meant to have his eyebrows angled upwards as they go towards the bridge of the nose. The painted head has got the eyebrows angled down towards the bridge of the nose and this is causing a contradiction in the expression on the face. I honestly think that if the line of the sculpted eyebrows is followed during the paintjob, this will further bring the likeness alive. You can see this in the comparison pic that someone posted earlier:

So true 👍

I would love to see this sculpt with a Temple of Doom Indy paint up

 

[Hydeous]

Wow. This is a great sculpt. Too bad I'm not that much of an Indy fan.

I hope he does Luke next. The DX07 ones are outdated now.

That is amazing lining that up! Awesome looking Indy I bought 2 one blank for this reason. Some good sculpt painters could nail this

Great point!

In what sense? I didn't think the likeness was there from the beginning.

That's awesome. :rock



The eyebrows are a good catch, cking, I'll add it to the list of paint changes I've compiled.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Plastik, you did an incredible match job there. Talk about a sculpt coming to life...

The pics of the sculpt on my figure feature a Bruce Banner body, but the DX05 should work just fine.

Thanks, Dane!

Banner bodies are more expensive now but people go after them for both Indy and Myers customs currently. Any other HT bodies come out recently that is similar to the Banner one that would also work for Indy?

Hot Toys hasn't sold a body by itself that had a sculpted upper torso but thinner, more poseable arms. The Assassin's Creed figure had a similar body. I saw a modified KO Truetype on eBay that had only a sculpted torso, though (edit: here it is: Narrow Shoulder 1 6 Scale Male Nude Action Figure Body w Neck for Hot Toys TTM19 | eBay ) . And other companies like Soldier Story and DAM produce bodies similar to that. Or, you could buy a TTM-19 KO and do some surgery to give it smaller arms.

Cool thanks for the info. I've done the surgery method before for other projects so yeah that's also an idea.
