This is a figure I created for Starwarsgeek.

He challenged me to create any character from the Indiana Jones trilogy (NOTE: I said trilogy as I almost refuse to acknowledge that godawful train wreck that came after the first three amazing films) that Hasbro hasn't made yet.

This wasn't the easiest to come up with, but I think I managed.

I give you, Nazi Soldier #43, second from the left, third row. He prefers go by the Gustav.

Custom cast base with.
Dowel Rod

And yes, after mailing the figure off to SWG I noticed my historical inaccuracy.

That is not who I would have expected. I think I see the Easter Egg. Sr. would not be happy.

If the easter egg is the flag, then I see it.

It's not the flag.

Sweet custom. How did you make the spirit? Painted hot glue?

The Easter Egg is not the flag. The flag was me gluing the flag to the pole wrong side front accidentally. I didn't notice it until I posted the pictures. Unfortunately the package was mailed before that.

I may do up a tutorial on the spirit/energy bot.

It is multiple strands of hot glue that I squirted into a basin of water. Then I pushed em together and twisted them or stretched them out. That way they didn't get a flat spot like they would squirting them into foil or waxpaper.

thanks guys, I really appreciate the compliments. One thing I discovered while working on this project, there are very few screen captures of the ark scene floating around the interwebs.
