IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

[cpoll36]

To me it looks fantastic Ton Ton. The jacket is looking great. Sorry if you've already explained the process in an earlier thread, but did you wet the jacket and roll the sleeves up or just roll the sleeves up and secure them in place to get the wrinkles? Overall I'd say you have a pretty awesome looking Indy there.

RIT color remover (the pink box) also might come in handy should you choose to go that route to start over (I have numerous times on the HT pants to get the right shade), but do be cautious, too much can basically bleach the fabric.

Thanks, cpoll! I sprayed Stiffen Quik down the inside of the sleeves, and then left it overnight to set the wrinkles (can see in the attached image; also don't need the rubberband). Works pretty well, any residue that sneaks through the stitching can be wiped down and/or peeled off when dry.

Yeah, at this point I don't want to risk having to start from scratch or worse, so just going to leave it be for now. If I get motivated again I'll wash and leave it in the sun a bit more.

I've said it before but dammit, I'll say it again. I reckon the Iris jacket is the best value for money jacket on the market. I wish I had a 2nd one.

I know what you mean. Who painted your sculpt there? Looks great!

Thank you, the shrunk MJ Choi head was painted by Jacob Rahmier

Here's another pic...

Sculpt looks great, hottoysaddict72. Great weathering on the outfit, especially the jacket.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I was going to say, you got a new head. I really don't see any comparison -- that MJ head is just the best. Jake did an awesome job on yours.

And your jacket looks perfect.

Looking for a set. Thx

Thanks Man, it's just a bit of dry brushing, subtle but I really wasn't a fan of the "new out the box"look for Indy. It's a great jacket but you just gotta weather it imho.

Thanks Man, yeah, it's an individual choice of course and there's so many great sculpts out there and they all capture Harrison to some degree but for me, this sculpt is probably closest to Harrison's likeness.

and I love the job Iris did with the jacket. If I'm being 100% critical the collar might be a little too large, but I'll forgive that for how awesome the rest is and the cost of the jacket vs how great it looks overall.

I wish she would see sell them seperately, I could use another.

Still look forward to when this thread gets bumped with new pics. Did you just use a single color for the dry brushing, and I'm assuming an acrylic paint? Also, does it require anything after that or that's it? I've been saving several photos of everyone who's customized their jacket for when I eventually work on mine. Next on my list at this point.

 

[Mr.E]

Nice to see Jake taking on individual commissions, especially Indy. I haven't talked to him in years. And yes, that modified MJ is, in my book, one of the best Indy sculpts ever produced.

More pics for the thread, I got a new whip from EcklecticBadges and I like it quite a lot. Feels and looks great. I painted the end of the whip, I’ll touch it up later.

 

[Jbeltram4]

Somebody needs to make a new Indy whip. I’ve all but given up on MFisher making a triumphant return.

New JX body for Indy. Also reworked my Iris jacket a bit. Felt like I went a little too heavy on the weathering initially. And I added silver to the zipper. Feeling much better about this jacket now. ?

Let Indy hang with Solo in the Falcon for a bit too. ??

 

[Wor-Gar]

JX works real nice. This may seem like an odd question but which hands are you using for Indy? That right hand looks great!

I believe that's just the normal relaxed hands from the Hot Toys Indy.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Really, the right hand on the holster? You have great lighting.

I think so. I'm not 100% sure...so many pieces about now. ?

Lighting was the sun setting had to get a quick pic!

 

[The Rogster]

That looks really great Rzeznikk!
