Monkey Man Raiders of the lost Ark 1/6
|
|

|

|

|

|
|

|
|
Adding to my already growing Raider of the lost Ark figures I have added Monkey Man and his little sidekick to the collection. I have always been surprised that no-one has ever made a 1/6 version of him that I know of.
|
|
I decided to mix this figure with both the movie version and Hasbro 3-3/4 figure to get the desired look you see now.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Monkey Man - The head is from Dragon's Timeline figures I think it was Auret, I added a little extra hair and goatee to the head. The robes inner and outer are from D-Art Studios http://www.d-artstudios.com/index.htm and the body and hands are both from a TLL v3. The eye patch is made from left over leather and you can't see it that well but he also has the scaring as well.
|
| |
|
The turbin and scarf are pieces of material from the material bin cut and dyed to the desired colours, The pants are from my 1/6 bin and again dyed to the desired colour. The sandels are made from the inner soles that come with the Dragon shoes and the starp is some left over leather.
|
| |
|
The Monkey is from Ebay and was painted to try and get the look of the little guy and the vest is tissue paper glued inplace and then painted.

RECIPE

|
|
|
1: Indiana Jones - The head is from Sideshow and the body is a Soldier Story body and the hands are from a TTL v3 figure. The robe is the same as Sallah's and was cut down the middleto give it the wrap around affect.
|
|
The turbin and sash are from the cloth bin and dyed white, he is wearing the Sideshow pants and shirt that and the boots are from the 12" talking Indy figure from Hasbro.
|
| |
|
The staff is just some plasti rod cut to size and then sanded so the paint would adhere much better, the medallion is from the Medicom Indiana Jones figure and the brass connection that holds the medallion in place is from a 1/35 shell. The bag is from DID with the Sideshow strap added and so is the small circular piece that is on the side of the bag.

|
I have always wanted to do a Sallah figure and finally got a chance when D-Art Studios and YOUR OWN HEAD.net made the clothing a head sculpt.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Sallah - Sallah's head is from YOUR OWN HEAD.net http://www.yourownhead.net and the outfit is from D-Art Studios http://www.d-artstudios.com/index.htm . The shoes are from the parts box and are from Dragon and the body is a TTL version 3 body.

The head actually has a neck piece but I cut and drilled it down to fit the TTL body neck. The shovel was a Hasbro entrenching tool I just cut the handle off and replced it with a piece of thin dowel, the torch is pieces of this sticks cut to size and glued and tied in place.

Satipo - Raiders of the Lost Ark 1/6
|
|

|

|

|

|
|

|

|

|

|
| |

|

|
|
| |
|
I had this figure partially done and decided to complete him while having small breaks from other work that I am doing and after getting inspired by all the execellent Indy customs over at the sideshow Indiana jones forum section.
Satipo for those that don't him is the poor guy that gets impaled by spikes after he takes the idol from Indy and does the runner, but as we know he doesn't get to far and Indy takes the idol back.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Satipo - The head is from the 12" Doc Ock figure and the body and hands are from Soldier Story, the shoes, trousers and belt and holster are from Sideshow ROTLA Indy. The jacket (WW2) and singlet (Modern) are from Dragon, I used model knife and heavy grade sandpaper to give the jacket a really worn feel and did the same to the pants but only minor worn feel.
|
| |
|
2: Basket and Equipment - I got frustrated trying to find a cane basket so I made my own it's not movie accurate but I think it came out really well. I used a toilet roll and cut to size and then used packing string (the white type), I wrapped it around the roll and then used PVA/woodglue to keep it inplace.
The carry brace was made from balsa wood and the shoulder straps are from my 1/6 bits box, the inner lining of the basket was done using left over material and glued inplace. Some of the utensils are from some Geman WW2 food canisters and wattle bottle, the cup is from a WW2 figure and the pan or skillet is made from a Games Workshop paint lid and plasti card.
The bed roll is again left over material and tied up using model Ship sailing robe. The torches are made using handles from two German intrenching tools, the torch section themselves are from old plastic model knife containers that you get the spare blades in and the interior of the torches are pieces of plasticard and tissue paper.
|
| |
|
3: Base - The base is a Indiana Jones stand and has plater of Pris and sculpty clay added for the ground work, the soil is mulched up dirt/bark from the garden and the plants are from the local pet shop. Once I was happy with the overall look and feel I used Vallejo, Reaper, GW paints and chalk pastels to paint and weather the entire thing.

|
| |
|
2: Base - The base is frame is made up of balsa wood and foam core sheets. Once I got the desired look I used thin sheets of foam to cover the base and once dry I used superglue to dissovle the foam to give it a weatherd look.
When the base was ready I drilled holes in the top for the speakers and also the switch, I then covered the whole base in a two part mix of plaster of paris and woodglue. When the base dried I pulled apart the Hasbro 12" Talking Indy figure and attached the battery unit, speaker and switch the bottom of the base.
The snakes are are from a $2 shop and repainted them the bushes are from Woodland Scenics and the Indy logo is from the internet and has been printed off and cut out.

|

|
|

|
|
I was looking thru the Indiana Jones Magazines the other day and came across a pic of Indy in a deep sea divers suit and was intrigued by the picture. After doing some more searching I came across Indiana Jones and the Shrine of the Sea Devil comics and saw that Indy used a deep sea suit, After seeing the pictures I decided that I would give this a go as it is such a different look for Indy.
|
|
Once I put the whole figure and base to together to see what it would like I pulled everything apart and painted and weatherd it using Vallejo, Games Workshop paints and pastels.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Indiana Jones - Indy's body and head are from Sideshow Toys, the gloves are from a Dragon the divers helmet, The diving suit, shoulder plate and metal souls and weight blocks are from the old GI JOE figures. The lead weight blocks are actually plastic I just repainted them to look like lead, The harness is made of leather and 1/6 scale buckles.
|
| |
|
The knife and sheath are from Dragon and the boots souls are real lead weights from the GI Goe figure and the ankle braces are made from left over material and 1/6 scale buckles. The diving helmet was missing the handle so I used some 1/72 scale pieces from the bits box to make one, The rope is from also from the bits box.
|
| |
|
2: Base - The base is from the hardware shop from the craft section and the ships decking was done by using balsa wood and then I scribed the blank sections into it. The crate was made from scraps of balsa wood which I got from my scrap box and was built I scribed panels into it.

Indiana Jones My PF version 1/6
|
|

|

|
|

|

|

|

|
|
When the 1/4 Premium Format indy came out from Sideshow Toys I always wanted to make something similar in 1/6 but never could find the perfect Indy Head sculpt with that cocky Indy smile. Then the other week I friend on the Sideshow forums Paul Carson was selling the perfect head sculpt of Indy I've ever seen and he even had that cocky smirk.
|
|
So I ordered myself a Head sculpt and once I received it got to work on making my own 1/6 PF Indy. Instead of the pedestal that comes with the 1/4 PF figure I wanted to have a jungle scene instead as I really think it suits the figure very well. When I was happy with the figures pose it was painted and weathered using Vallejo and Games Workshop paints and pastels.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Indiana Jones - The clothing, whip, idol and body are from Sideshow toys, the head sculpt is from Paul Carson from Sideshow Forums. The hands are from an old AMT Luke Skywalker 1/6 figure kit and the hat is from The frontline custom head .
|
| |
|
2: Base - The base is from the Sideshow Toys Indiana Jones figure. The figure was superglued and screwed inplace at the feet and then plaster was used to cover the base and left to dry.
|
|
When the plaster had dried I painted it dark brown and then added the ground work which a got from the back yard from the garden, the plants are plastic fishtank plants that I got from the local pet shop.

I've been wanting to do this concept figure that Ron Cobb had done for a long time, I was going to do in 3-3/4" size but a friend of mine Glorbes had already did it http://glorbes.blogspot.com/2009/01/toht-ron-cobb-concept.htmt and it's a great figure. So since I have been doing alot of 1/6 scale Indy figures it was only natural that I would do him in this scale.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Concept Toht - The body, left glove, glasses, uniform, boots and hat are all from Dragon, the uniform was dyed black and the hat was also repainted black and detailed with flat white and silver. The head is Toht from Sideshow Toys I added a bionic eye and ear by using some old 40K GW parts I had in the bits box.
|
|
As for the bionic arm I used parts from some Hasbro AOTC droids and and a part from a 3-3/4" moisture vaporator and pieces of wire which were in my bits box, The straps that hold the arm onto the body are strips of leather cut to size then attached.
|
| |
|
2: Base - The base is very simple as I didn't want anything to detailed to distract from the figure itself, It was made from an old DVD base which I covered with plasti card and cardboard and then gave it a few sprays of Matt Black.

1: Indiana Jones - Everything is the Sideshow Indy except the bag which is the Relic Hunter's, the shoes are the Hasbro's Indy and the hands are the Medicom Indy. The jumper is from an old suit I had in the parts box and the scarf was from a WW2 German figure.
|
|
Indy's hair and beard were sculpted using Games Workshops Green stuff.
|

2: Base - The base is made foam core sheest glued together and the balsa wood was super glued on top for strength, once dry I scribed floor boards by using a knife then some tweezers. The rocking chair and the smaller chair are both made from balsa wood as well.

I was stoked when I picked up the Medicom Indy really cheap but when I received it and opened it up I was a little dissapointed in the details and some of the equipment. I set about adding different pieces from Sideshows Indy and repainting and weathering the figure/equipement using Vallejo, Reaper miniature paints and pastels to add extra weathering.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Indiana Jones - The jacket, bag, whip, revolver and hands are from the Sideshow Indy and the rest are the Medicom figure. The reason I replaced certain items is that they were either incorrect or not the right size, the head sculpt would have to be the best thing about this figure and with a repaint it looks spoton to an old Ford.
|
|
I added an extra little girth by using left over material and wrapped it around the belly and then used tape to keep it in place, I haven't done a base as I'm still awaiting for materials to arrive but once it does he will look good on the base which will be the cemetery scene.

The foam core was cut to size and then the crate was place on top and the I traced around it with a pencil and then cut out the area the crate was. I then glued everything togther and once dry I then scribed lines into the foam core and then a two part mix of plaster and PVA glue was mixed together and brushed on using a wide brush.
|

Once the plaster dried the base was painted using Vallejo paints and weathered using pastels. The crate was made by finding a good size cardboard box and then balsa wood was used to cover the box, once everything was done the box was painted and drybrushed using vallejo paints and weathered using pastels. the stenciling was printed off then I cut out the black printed areas and then attached to the crate and spray black paint was used to get the stencilling on the crate.

Zombie Jones 1/6

This custom was done for a few Halloween comps coming up, I've never done a zombie custom before and was very happy with the way it turned out. And I know alot of you are thinking you wrecked a perfectly good Sideshow Indy and yes you are alll correct LOL.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Indiana Jones - The whole figure is the Indiana Jones figure from Sideshow toys except the left
hand which is from another Sideshow figure, I used an old skeleton figure to
replace the three fingers from the left hand, the lower leg and jaw bone. I had
to cut and drill out the leg, fingers and facial area to add the bones and then
used putty to simulate eaten and rotten flesh.
|
| |
|
To get the teeth marks I used an old paint brush
and dipped in super glue to harden it a little and then gently pushed it in the
drying putty. To simulate blood I used Games Workshops Gore Red first then Dark
Flesh and then a two part mix of Red Gore and Chaos Black.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
I know alot of people are going to think damn man are you insane you destroyed a perfectly good Indy uniform, and yes I am but it would'nt be a zombie Indy if the clothing was all nice and clean. To simulate the rips and tears I used a very sharp model knife and scissors and then tore the clothing to get a better look. The bone in his right hand is from the same skeleton and has had the same treatment done to it to simulate flesh.
|
| |
|
2: Base - The base is from a 7" Disney Indy figure and has had railway static grass and
dirt from the garden added to it, once both materials were dried I used Games
Workshop paints Dark Green and gave the grass a gentle wash of it and then let
it dry. Once dry I used pastels to weather both the grass and dirt a little
more, the plants are fishtank plants and teh skull is again from the
skeleton.

1: Indiana Jones - The Indy figure is from Sideshow except the fedora which is from and is the The frontline custom heads older style fedora, This was an ideal as I wanted him to have a tall hat like in raiders.

|
The boots are from the 12" Hasbro talking Indy, I liked these boots as they have fantastic detail to them. The machette is from a WW2 Australian Light Horse figure and the artifact is from the hasbro 3-3/4" indy figures, I just cut is in half and gave it a weather.
|
| |
|
2: Base - The base is a picture frame which I got from the wife after the glass had broke. The column is a poster packing tube I picked up from the post office and covered it in plaster of paris, the dried vines are called dodo vines and the moss I picked up from the florist shop.
|
|
The leafy vines and plants on the ground are plastic fish tank plants and the ground is plaster painted and then mulch was used to cover it to give it a more realistic jungle look.

Indiana Jones and The Mayan Pit Trap 1/6

|

|
|
The year is 1935 and while searching an old Mayan temple Indy accidently sets of a hiden trap door in the floor of the temple and send Indy sliding 100 metres into a large square pit. Indy picks himself up and searches for a way out, he notices a lever about 10 meteres high on the far wall and he then suddenly he hears a loud crunching noise and the pit starts to fill with water.
|
| |
|
The water starts to rise with incredible speed and Indy starts to climb the pit wall to release the lever, and again he hears another crunching noise and he wonders what is going to happen next. He does'nt have to wait to long when he feels something starts to wrap around his legs, he looks down and the head of a huge water python is starting to coil it's self around him.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Indy starts to panic and thinks to himself "I Hate Snakes" and a bloody big one at that, he starts to feel pressure on his legs and he gets pulled under and then is brought back up again as the python lost it's grip for a split section. Indy knows that if he does'nt get out of this mess he's dead for sure, He stops himself from panicking and grabs a small machette from his bag and by this time the python as wrapped itself up to Indy's waist, Indy grabs the python's neck area and gets ready to stab it before it can either crush him or bite him.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1: Indiana Jones & Snake - Everything is from The Sideshow Toys Indy figure except the pants which are from the Relic Hunter figure and the Fedora which is from The frontline custom head and is the older type fedora.

|
| |
|
2: Base - The base is made up from foam core and balsa wood once the frame and back sections were done thin sheets of foam was used to make the stone section. Once everyting was dry I used plaster to cover the whole thing and again let dry and then weathered and painted it using Vallejo paints.
|
|
I let the whole dio dry for about 4 hours, I used modelers clay to build up the water and used the clay to simulate gushing water coming from the walls. I then covered the clay with plaster and painted it using GW paints, I then let dry and then drybrushed it with matt white to simulate froth. I used Woodland Scenics real water and covered the water and indy and left it to dry for 24 hours before applying another coat.

Ghost - the ghost was made from the top half of a cheap
glow in the dark skeleton I got of ebay. Modelers putty
was used to make the rotten flesh on the hands and face,
the eyes are small balls. once the putty dried I painted
the flesh with varies flesh, browns and tan colours
to get the desired affect,
|
|
Putty
was used at the back of the ghost for balance and then
tissue paper was used as the cloth and thin wire was
attached to the skeletons frame so the tissue could
be attached and look like it's flowing. The tissue was
given a coat of diluted wood glue to make it firm.

the rod is plasti rod with a wooden food sewer inserted
thru the middle to give it support, the poster I got

a 12 inch Rope bridge dio just with Indy and after a
finally completing a few other Indy diorama's decided
to give it ago. I picked myself up another Sideshow
Indy and got straight into making the dio and was more
then happy with the end result.
|
|
I
used Vallejo and GW paints on the figure and diorama
and then used pastels to weather the diorama and Indy
figure. I have to thank a friend of mine called
MFisher over on Sideshow Freaks forums for putting me
onto the pastels. These are without adoubt the best
things to use when weathering models, scenery etc.

RECIPE

|
|
|
|
1:
Indiana Jones - Everything is from The Sideshow Toys
Indy figure except the right arm which is from another
figure and the shoes which are from Hasbro's 12 inch
Indiana Jones figure. I removed the right
sleeve and the small bead like buttons and replaced
them using buttons from a Dragon WW2 American shirt.
|
| |
|
2:
Base - The cliff face I picked up from the local pet
shop it's a foam back drop used in fish tanks, Once
I got it home I cut out the desired length and height
and used balsa wood as a frame and also for strength.
Once the frame work was done I then used plaster of
paris to cover the existing foam detailing to get the
sand stone effect.
|
|
The
rope bridge is a combination of balsa wood which was
used for the blanks and a mixture of different sizes
of rope which I got from the local hardware shop. The
arrows were made using plasti rod and paper and once
all the parts were connected and glued inplace I used
Vallejo, GW paints and Pastels to paint and weather
the entire diorama.

I
picked myself up another Indy figure the other week
for the sole purpose of creating a Temple of Doom Indy.
When I started weathering and painting everything I
decided to keep the figure articulated instead of the
normal statue type figures that I do so I could put
him in different positions.
|
|
All
except the right arm which can't be articulated
as the rubber on the arm if moved will cause the paint
to start flaking and cracking, I used Vallejo, Games
Workshop and Pastel to paint and weather him and the
base.

of his shirt and his left pants leg using a pair of
sharp scissors.
|
| |
|
2:
Base - The base is two pieces of foam core glued togther
and then cardboard attached to give it strength. I used
a stand that you get with a lot of the Dragon figures,
I glued the stand inplace and then covered the whole
base using plaster of paris, woodglue, finesand and
small railway gravel. Once dry I painted the base with
different shades of browns and sands.

March
12th 1938, the US Government intercepts a German communique
stating that Hitler is looking for clues to a mythological
artifact called the Seal of Soloman.And yet again
the US Government travels to Barnett Collage to see if
Jones will find the Seal of Solomon and
find out what it is and does.
Jones tells them that
the Legend has it that
the Seal of Solomon was a magical signet ring
said to have been possessed by King Solomon,
which variously gave him the power to command demons,
genies,or to speak with animals. Indy also mentions
that there are 6 markers that make up a stone tablet
that shows the whereabouts of the Seal of Solomon.
After hearing this
information they ask Jones will he try and find the
Seal of Solomon before the Nazis do.
Jones
agrees and the next day heads of, March 17th 1938 after
reaching an old ruined castle on the borders of France
and Germany Jones does a little archeological work and
finds a marker that could lead him to the Seal of
Solomon. But before he can leave he is jumped upon
by a Nazi soldier who was patrolling the area. Thee two
start brawling, Jones taken by surprise at first realizes
it's a Nazi solder and thinks to himself Nazis.I
Hate these guys.
Jones
not wanting the soldier to raise an alarm gives him
one final blow that knocks him out, after tying the
soldier up he picks up his marker and high tails
it out of there before anymore patrols come thru and
to figure out his next move.

gear hanging from wall mounts inside a picture frame
which I thought looked totally amazing.

would he mind if I made he's painting into a 3D interpertation

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.

Climbing
out of the Map Room (ROTLA) 1/6

|

|

|

|

|
|
|
When
the Sideshow Toys Indy first hit the stores I picked
myself up a few of them and decided to do a few diorama's
with them as there such a fantastic great looking figure.
But as we customizers know things need that little extra
detailing or that little extra something to make it
unique.
|
|
Thats
why I opted to do Indy in robes from ROTLA and have
the scene were Sallah throws Indy down the make shift
rope using sheets and a swastika so he can climb out
of the map room.
|
|
RECIPE
|
|
|
|
|
1:
Body - The whole figure from head to toe is the SideShow Toys Indy
body, The body is so loose the only thing that I could
do to it is superglue all the joints and use it for
a diorama. The head is the best sculpt I've seen
of Harrison in this scale.
|
| |
|
2:
Shirt, Pants & Bag - Are from Sideshow Toys,
they have been given a slight wash to tone down the
colours.
|
| |
|
3:
Robes - The robes are left over material I had from another Map room Indy I did a while back, so instead
of sewing this outfit I used material glue as it wasn't
going to be moved around like the last one.
|
| |
|
4:
Flag & Sheets - Are made from the some material
as the robes, the white sheets were cut to size and
glued to the coat hanger that holds them up about 6
inchs above Indy's head giving the impression they are
dangling so he can climb out.
|
|
They were
given a spray of matt white once they were in place.
The Swastika emblem was hand drawn and then painted
over with vallejo paints.
|
| |
|
5:
Base
- The base I got from a craft shop for $3, the fallen stones are
foam pieces which have been cut and pulled apart to
get the desired look. They were then covered in plaster
of paris mixed with woodglue (PVA) and fine sand as
was the base.
|
|
The base
was left to dry for a few hours and then the stones
were painted and them more fine sand was added to the
base to give it more depth.

While
on an expedition in the South American Jungle Indaina
Jones discovers a cavern with ancient ruins inside, He
quickly grabs a rope and starts the DESCENT down to discover
what treasures and mysteries can be found. This was
a really fun dio to make as it didn't have to do with
anything from the movies so I could make what I wanted.
Once
the dio and figure were built and puttied they were
painted using Vallejo, Repaer and Games Workshop paints.
I
wanted to give this diorama a feeling that Indy is climbing
down the rope but I also wanted to add depth by adding
different levels such as the columns and stones being
different levels, and making the rope hang in mid air
as if it's tied to something and amking it longer then
the column.
To
simulate Indy decsending down the rope while in mid
air I drilled a hole in the column and in Indy's leg
and cut some coat hanger wire and inserted it both into
both.

RECIPE

1:
The figure and base - The figure/base are from
Disney's 7" line the figures joints have been superglued
and then sculpty clay used to fill in the gaps. It was
the repainted and hand from a 7" Star Trek
figure were replaced with the original hands.
|
|
The
base has had an extra column added by cutting of the
top and then gluing another one on top, the part that
was cut off was added to the base. The stone blocks
have been put into place then an axtra smal stone block
was added and placed on top of one if the buried stone
blocks.
|
|
The
plants are a combination of plastic fish tank plants
which have been drybrushed, lichen moss which a got
from a craft store and model railway shrubs from woodland
scenics. The dirt is fine sand reapainted and dry brushed,
The bones are from some dinosaurs kits I had in my bits
box.
