Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[mercureyx]

So, looks like a potential huge break in the creation of this prop...

Anyone interested in picking this up and casting it in clear resin ?

There's a better one on monstersinmotion.com. Hopefully though there will be a prop replica of this in the future.

Finally saw the movie yesterday. Looks like they didn't use any of the Fresno, Ca pickup location shots, which was supposed to be an airport in Mexico.

But I did spot this bus on the movie.

TFrost, looked there. Where?

Saw it again last night and noticed something. There were different versions and actually different sizes, especially during the grave sequences.

Hello all!

I sculpted it acording to the pics I could find and acording to what I saw on the movie.
I did it 45 cm long (17.7") linear from the back to the point between the eyes. With the jaw it is a bit longer.
If someone knows that it is wrong (and has the accurate information) please let me know it now that the clay is still wet! :lol

Let's be in touch.

It may help if you posted pictures of the progress you've made thus far, just so we can establish things like scale and proportion.

Yeah, please post a pic of your current clay model.

Beware of this guy... he claimed to have sculpted his Indy, which is a clear recast if Mike Hill's Deckard bust... check out this thread:

Totally... Some other forums have busted him too I guess.

*bump*

Just one picture? ... Perhaps? :unsure

 

[gnrlotto]

What do people think of the propshop version?

 

[mercureyx]

Where's that from?

The RPF Code of Conduct prohibits me from saying.

Okay...

It looks wrong... Both sculpting and material choice... Looks like a distant relative, and also seems way undersized (like a keychain)... But if it costs $20 or so...

 

[mercureyx]

Haha yeah it looks pretty soft too.

What do you think it is made of? I know the stuff inside is that irridescent pseudo-excelsior stuff, like they pack cheap Easter baskets with.

What's the story?

That modified Mike Hill bust looks more like Elliot Gould to me! :lol

Don't know... Looks a little like white/transparent plastic... I think clear resin with a drop of electric blue casted in a pressure pot, or whatever make the resin without bubbles, should do the trick on a accurate replica... About the stuff inside, it could work, but some crumpled foils of cellophane mixed with some seran wrap would work even better I think (strictly a personal opinion)
