Indiana Gerry (SOLD)

This latest custom was for my Uncle Gerry, who loves Indiana Jones. It was commissioned by my aunt Sandy for his 55th birthday. He's a big Phillies fan too, so I figured hey I'll throw an old 80s style light blue Phils jersey on him (all my dad's brothers are into Philly teams, we hail from Delaware so it's a must). Since he was turning 55 and also born in 1955, I painted that as his jersey number in maroon. Had to give him the hat and whip, otherwise he wouldn't be Indiana Gerry! Painted his pants brown like Indies', and gave him a lighter brown shirt under the jersey.  Also had to paint the jersey logo, stripes, his moustache, and hair. I just wanted to go half and half with the themed colors, and I think it worked out well! He loved it and my Aunt thought it was awesome, so looks like another point for Joe! Oh and the skin color looks the best in the pics of him holding the figure. My pics are a little yellowish. Thanks for checkin' out my first McVey family custom!
