IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

That looks great Luis. I forgot it was a screenshot and tried to swipe right to see more pictures on the instagram one.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Lol you were probably wondering why it didn't work.

 

[Ecklectic]

Also it is clearly Fred Krueger's hat Luis, not this Striped Box woman whoever she is. The name written on the inside makes that clear.

Lol true but hopefully she can return it to the man. Then she would have to do the same for Doctor Jones.

I would certainly be more interested in picking up a hat than a web belt. It beggars belief nobody has ever tried one previously for Indiana Jones.

if you do start a thread for hats or belts or anything please drop a link in here too Luis

I'm pure evil.

Indiana Jones is a potentially expensive custom, always has been. You can get all the parts you need at good prices with patience.

But then, this hobby is not about patience.

Yes, $70 web belt... $70 whip.... $200 boots.... it goes on and on. Kato stuff starts to seem almost reasonable. But its a constant project, constantly changing, upgrading... so you spend $20 on a half-assed belt, then spend another $20 on a slightly better one, then $30 because you find the HT belt... you might as well have spent the $70 on the genuine web belt with real metal working buckle.

A real buckle. That's crazy. And that's what this hobby is. Crazy. Like us.

I assume the $70 whip you refer to is an MFisher one, Wor-Gar? You're looking at 4 times that for one of Joe's!

I’d be interested in a whip, hat and maybe boots.

This has been my experience sadly



There are ? who, what , where ? Wish I'd known that before.

As I mentioned on SSF, the belt that came with the DiD "Hell on Wheels Donald" figure is perfect for Indy and is the one I used on this figure as well as my TLC Indy.

Also, belts that come with US servicemen from the Vietnam war era are good places to start as well; I've used these in the past. ACE Workshop makes ones that can be made Indy-accurate very easily.

The trick is keeping one's eye open for these things, it seems. After a quick search on some of the loose part sites, this one caught my eye and could be used for Indy (with mods):

And this one could be modded as well:

The point is, they're out there and they're cheap. Go get 'em.

Hi Luis, I'm in on that run too! If the price is around 70/90 us dollars.

 

[Luisenigma1]

The web belt would be $90 if there was 30 people. That hat is possible says striped box but she doesn't know what head to use as reference as all of them are bald at the top with no hair. Lol

Then I'd hold out for the Professor Jones sculpt that Inigo is doing soon.

Wouldn't that be ideal so it's not oversized? But yeah, I'm not sure how many heads it would be compatible with. Safest bet might just be the new Inigo hatted version. Hate to spend high $$ on a hat that doesn't fit.

 

[Luisenigma1]

That's the idea I had in mind. When I get it if she's interested she might consider it with the boots also.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Most of the sculpts -- MJ reduced, Jnix, Inigo -- I would imagine are roughly same size on the bald head top. Certainly a real material hat would also have some give to fit just like a real hat would. That's the point.

Use a little blutac to hold it in place if you have to.

They are similar in terms of placement but the hair on each is different as they each used different shaped hats. But your right it won't matter because it would be able to fit all of them properly.
