The adventures of Dr Jones

Just sharing these past works with one of my fav figure, I think it was my first hot toys in fact... Anyway, the headsculpt was a lot criticized, it could be better for sure, but with the right angle there is something of harrison Ford, definitely... I tried to recreate various moments of that iconic trilogy, hope you'll like!

Nice. Some really great forced perspective shots. I really like your recreation of the classroom. Well done.

Great pics! I love the perspective on all of these too. These classroom pics look so good, and that fight scene is a blast! Made me want to go re-watch all 3 movies.

Man, that looks like all kinds of fun.

Damn well done, too. I really enjoyed those. Thank you, sir.

I love this film, and this captures it perfectly.  Thanks for posting.

In July I am going to "an afternoon with Robert Watts" who was an Executive Producer on Raiders, as well as all 3 of the original Star Wars movies.  Should be a great afternoon.

Beautiful customs and photography. What specific iteration of Indiana Jones is this? I had one (from Sideshow?) that I gave to a friend after getting the HT Deluxe years ago, but haven't really done too much with either one. But I realize there have been a several versions from several companies.

Nice!

That sculpt does looks better when he's in Prof mode. Interesting choice of Stone Cold to stand in for Pat Roach. Nobody I know of did a decent sculpt that looks like that character though.

CHEERS!

Thanks a lot! doing the blackboard was a lot of fun, back to school feeling, I had to buy some chalk lol

Thanks mate! that classroom shooting is a bit of a mix between the two classroom scenes that occurs in raiders of the lost ark (only writing "facts" on the blackboard), and the one in the last crusade with the tomb layout n his hesitation moment spelling "neolithic"...

Thanks! I'm glad you always mention the fun aspect of my lil "sessions" cause it's really the core, I might not always get good result in final images, but when I unbox my figures, the only purpose is having fun, sandbox style lol

Thanks a lot! I hope you'll give us some feedback about this insane afternoon you're gonna have! Starwars and indiana jones are such pillars of our popculture! give us some news about it please!

Thanks bro! it's the hot toys DX version, coming with the egyptian alternative outfit. The likeness is not good under all angles but it's definitely not as bad as what I read on the web about it, people rely way too much on crappy pictures. The PERS system for the eyes is an awesome feature that offers a lot of potential of posing and expressions, I wish hot toys gets back to it for all their figures...

Thanks! In fact I think the casted shadow from his hat doesn't help getting a sparkle of life in his eyes except with specific lighting and poses, which makes him much more interesting once the hat is off. I still regret that I didn't buy the "treasure hunter" headsculpt which was a very solid alternative, what is missing on hot toys headsculpt is the signature grin of Harrison Ford, which they finally captured on their han solo disguised in stormtrooper.

I would love to have a pat roach headsculpt, just as "andre the giant" and a few wrestlers from the past... Phicen could easily provide that with their naked bodies like Kaustik once did...

Lil update, most of you guys have seen these shots already, but to carry on with dr Jones adventures... Some classic sequences from "The Last Crusade"

Lord Mac Donald and his charming assistant are here to see the tapestries!







Don't call me Junior!







Son, the floor is on fire. And the chair...

Oh man! These are great. Love all the effects. And that last one, with the lower light giving the impression of them being lit by the flames is perfect. Really well done set up. Lord MacDonald and his lovely assistant are very cool, too. She's charming, indeed. I honestly don't remember seeing these before. Excellent work.

Love the update. Last Crusade is my favorite Indiana Jones movie (although I do like all three -- I'm not counting Crystal Skull as canon). And you do photograph that DX head sculpt a lot better than I do.

Very nice! It's odd how the DX works with everything except the fedora. My Henry also went through a lot of incarnations before I settled on the best recipe.

CHEERS!

Man these are so damn good.

It's really funny you mention a sandbox. I reckon I'm not the only one with some very early memories recalling playing in a sandbox. Sand in my clothes, in my hair (when I still had it)...sand everywhere and it was always genuine fun.

Hell, I even had fun playing in a sandbox with my kids.

When the hobby slips past fun and moves to obsession, it's time to move on.

Thanks a lot mate! I had so much fun building that "diorama" (it's more a movie set than a real diorama tho)

Thanks GF! I couldn't choose between the last crusade and the raiders of the lost ark, but agreed they are my favorites (and no way I count the crystal skull thing as canon)
About shooting that indy I really started enjoying him with ascending light, otherwise the shadow of his hat kills the life in his eyes, with the PERS system it's quite a shame...

Totally agreed! When I first tried other caps and hats on him he was much more recognizable than with the iconic fedora... weird!

Haha, just like my memories, I had no proper sand box but my dad used to buy some construction sand in large bags and he provided me a mountain of sand in our backyard to dig tunnels for my lil gijoes... I spent countless hours at that lol

A couple more shots you already have seen but I had forgotten to post them here, I'm not as happy with the digital edit as on some of my other works... Hope you'll like GF, more last crusade!

"I suddenly remembered Charlemagne!"

Pretty cool shots. The first one might work better if they’re pant legs were wet.

Very nice Last Crusade shot! Was this bluescreen/greenscreen plus background, or a curved printout? By the way, shouldn't it be "I just remembered my Charlemagne"?

You're right! Damn that is one brilliant idea! thanks!

Was green/blue screen yes, but natural light though... And yeah thanks for the exact line, I confess I know these movies by heart in my native french language from my childhood, now when I try to watch them in original version I feel like I am missing something lol

Great photos and customs!

You really made that DX05 sculpt work. When the Treasure Hunter sculpt came out I used the DX05 with the Arab disguise.

Lucky you, when I saw it I passed, then forgot, then couldn't find it anymore, big regrets for that one, it looked really good and had that "signature" grin of harrison ford.

That are some of the best background scenes and effects i´ve ever seen. Also the poses and Your photographie style !

Excellent pictures and backgrounds!

Please show us a good bye in austrian and ss style

Great looking figures and photos!

Haha I'd love to give it a try, I still need to build a decent female german outfit for Miss Schneider, and I miss good headsculpts to portray Donovan and the nazi colonel...

Thanks a lot Bad Wolf!

Here is a new edit I did last night, not sure it really fits the "look what I made" category as it mainly digital editing, but still!

Hope you'll like!

Whatever it is, it looks great!
