discussion Indiana Jones and the last crusade motorcycle and sidecar

[Guest]

Well I'm sitting here flicking thru the TV channels when I find Indiana Jones and the last crusade on, right as the classic motorcycle and side car scene is playing. In a moment of either inspiration, or mebbe stupidity, I came up the idea of turning this......

Gonna take some bashing to the figures, but I'm gonna give it a go. Don't know if this is gonna be a dio exactly - so I'm not sure if this is the right category, but stick with me and we'll give it a go!!!!

Cheers, Andrew

do like the idea,of this one Andrew

do wish you luck bashing to the figures,

or may be try and find some civilians to use the upper body only,

Your project reminds me a fantastic model that the company Andrea launched several years ago. It's in 1/32nd and it's a little bit expensive, but it looks great for your project:

Good start I really want to see how you go about changing them

 

[Guest]

The motorbike is complete, so I decided to paint that before fitting the sidecar, so while primer is drying I decided to make a start on bashing the figures. Hopefully you can see where I've scribed the collar on the great coat to create indies jacket and shirt collars. I've also cut off most of the waist packs the figure had, and using the remaining edge, and the straps for it, created the edge of indies jacket. Hopefully you can see the difference on the left hand side....
