INDY AND GOLD IDOL DIO 1/35
Posted by hemble on Tuesday, August 16, 2005 3:06 AM
Hi All

Here is a small dio I have completed where indy is pouring sand onto the floor to get reay to take the idol, the whole thing isn't movie accurate but I'm happy with the way it turned out.

The indy figure is made up of different parts from the bits box and then painted with acrylics to get the desired colours.

The pedestal is made from marine foam and formed to the desired shape and then I got a modelling knife and inscribed the symbols.
The floor is 2 part plaster of apris and wood glue and smeared over the base and once semi dry I etched the floor into the plaster.
Once dry the abse and pedestal were painted with arcylics agin to the desired colours.

The idol is made from green stuff a 2 part modelling puddy from GW and then painted gold and the moss is brokenn up pieces of tree foilage from woodland scenics and a wash of tan was added to it. I added sand to indy to simulate him pouring it out.

Neat little scene! Brings back memories of the first time I saw the movie.

You've captured the moment very well. How tall is the figure?

Thanks for the pictures...

Hi Box-stock

The indy figure is made up of about 4 different figures

The body and legs are from verlinden's US navy landing crew # 1864
The head and arms are from my bits box and the hat is from an old DML kit I think it is from there NAM series.
