This custom was done for a few Halloween comps coming up, I've never done a zombie custom before and was very happy with the way it turned out. And I know a lot of you are thinking you wrecked a perfectly good Sideshow Indy and yes you are alll correct LOL.

RECIPE

1: Indiana Jones - The whole figure is the Indiana Jones figure from Sideshow toys except the left hand which is from another Sideshow figure, I used an old skeleton figure to replace the three fingers from the left hand, the lower leg and jaw bone. I had to cut and drill out the leg, fingers and facial area to add the bones and then used putty to simulate eaten and rotten flesh.


To get the teeth marks I used an old paint brush and dipped in super glue to harden it a little and then gently pushed it in the drying putty. To simulate blood I used Games Workshops Gore Red first then Dark Flesh and then a two part mix of Red Gore and Chaos Black.

I know a lot of people are going to think darn man are you insane you destroyed a perfectly good Indy uniform, and yes I am but it would'nt be a zombie Indy if the clothing was all nice and clean. To simulate the rips and tears I used a very sharp model knife and scissors and then tore the clothing to get a better look. The bone in his right hand is from the same skeleton and has had the same treatment done to it to simulate flesh.

2: Base - The base is from a 7" Disney Indy figure and has had railway static grass and dirt from the garden added to it, once both materials were dried I used Games Workshop paints Dark Green and gave the grass a gentle wash of it and then let it dry. Once dry I used pastels to weather both the grass and dirt a little more, the plants are fishtank plants and the skull is again from the skeleton.
