Hi All

As most of already know I started on a 1/6 boulder chase scene so here is what I've done so far.

The boulder is actually a large blow up beach ball and I have started to paper mache over it, I have done two layers and have another 3 to go. I'll update with WIP pics when I can so until then enjoy.

Ok after putting this aside and looking at it for months I started back into it tonight, as you can see my photoshop work is totally crap so I'll explain how I want this to look.

Instead of the old style look of dios I decided to go for a sought of shadow box dio but have different viewing angles, one will at the front as seen in pics, second will be on the left side and I'm thinking of adding a third view hole from the top still deciding.

The dio will be inside a crate as my poor PS drawing shows, the boulder is complete and just needs to be painted and weathered.
I'll will have updates every two to three days so keep watching and any comments welcomed and I will reply to them I promise

Hi All

Hi Les - Cheers mate glad you are liking it and here is a few more pics, I've started adding the balsa wood, it a slow process but I think it will look great once it's painted and weathered.

Hi All

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.

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.
