Hi All

Well yet another character to add to my Raiders Collection this time the double crosser Barranca who tries to shoot Indy and then ends up being killed by the Hovito's by being killed with poison darts.

The figure and base were painted and weather using Vallejo and GW paints and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels.
 
RECIPE 
     
1: Barranca  - The body is a TTL-V3 as are the hands, the head and shorts are from BBI the shorts were actually trousers from a WW2 Aussie digger figure and have been cut to shorts and the hair was added by using GW greenstuff.

I tried to find the same head that I used on my Monkey Man as both characters were played by Vic Tablian but with no luck so the BBI head was the closet likeness I could find to my Monkey Man custom.

The hat, singlet, Revolver, belt and holster are from Sideshow, the hat is from Belloq and has been put into boiling hot water to get the desired look and the hat band is cloth painted and then cut. 

The torn singlet is from the Bespin Luke and the belt and holster are from a Indy figure.  I couldn't get my hands on the same type of firearm Barranca used in the movie so I used a KOTCS Revolver.

The socks, boots and jacket are from Dragon, the jacket was soaked in diluted bleech and then it was given a wash of khaki and desert yellow to get the desired colour. The socks are from a turtle neck sweater, I just cut the arms off at a deisred length and folded them up.
 
2: Base - The base is a Indiana Jones stand and has plaster of Paris 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.

Hi All

Another character to add to my Raiders Collection and this time it's Jock the pilot with his pet snake Reggie. Jock was the pilot that flew Indy out of the Amazon Jungle after being chased by the Hovito Warriors.
 
RECIPE
     
1: Jock - The body is a TTL-V3 as are the hands, the head is from Dragon. The pants are from the Sideshow Indy figure, the shoes and shirt are from Dragon the shirt has had it's sleeves cut and then glued and folded to a short sleeve version.
I originally had him with bare feet and his pants rolled up but didn't like the look so went with him wearing boots which I think he would have when he first flew indy in.

I don't know if Jock actually had a name tag but in those days companies usually had them on the shirts. The name tag is paper cut to size with a black border added,  the writing was done by using the dry transfers that you use a pencil to rub off onto whatever you are using.

The AIR PIRATES logo was done by using a plastic lettering stencil and firstly using pencil and then painting over that with Matt Black. I couldn't find a dark blue baseball cap so I used a black one, sorry can't remember what company I got it from, the NY logo was again done by using a pencil and the painting over that if Matt White.

The t-shirt is actually a Aussie WW2 singlet which was soaked in bleached and then given a drybrush of Matt White. Reggie is a rubber snake I got from a two dollar shop and he was repainted. After I got the items all together they were painted with Vallejo and GW paints and slightly weathered using pastels.
 
2: Generic Base - This base is the same one I've been using for a lot of the new Indiana Jones characters. The stand and has plaster of Paris 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.

Hi All

This time round for my Raiders Collection is a German Soldier,  I really enjoyed about making this figure as I didn't have to be historically correct when it came to the uniform. The movie version soldiers were a mix match of uniforms and and equipement for example the figure you see here has KAR 98 ammo pouches and the weapon is a MP40 machine gun.

Once the figure was done he was painted using Vallejo and GW paints and weatherd using Vallejo and pastels.
 
RECIPE 
     
1: German Soldier - The body is a TTL-V3 as are the hands, the head is from an old BBI figure. the webbing pouches and pants are from Sideshow's German Indy, the boots, shirt, MP40 and Bread bag are from Dragon and the cap is from Soldier Story.
 
2: Generic Base - This base is what I'll be using for all my Indy figures that need a desert base until I get all my figures done then I'll be making bases for them. The base is a Sideshow Indy figure base and has plaster and putty fot the ground work.

Once the plaster and putty had dried I used washed river sand and to cover the base, once the sand had dried I used Vallejo paints to paint and weather the sand.
