IE's "Raiders Map" Wave 2 (UPDATE) 28,05,08

[indysenigma]

Greetings ~

I have received several message explaining that due to some Life events, and internet outages, and that some people had no way to access the net, or just came across the thread concerning the Raiders Map.

I have decided to place an interest thread for the second wave here.


As before here is the the request.

I also have placed the first 6 names on the list.
I will add 5 more to the list... then this wave will closed and I will no longer make any more.

Reason being (IS NOT) because I am tired of making them, ~ NO ~ its because my situation, and having to wait monthly to get more supplies..
The area where I reside is VERY remote and I make (monthly) runs into the city... when I need anything.

This is the reason it takes a long time to complete them.

However, after explaining that ~ I feel that this is being fair to all those who did not get a chance to come to obtain a Map of their own.

Here is the second wave list...

1. Anton91
2. Falcon
3. propcollcetor
4. bearfctry
5. Kaplan
6. jc1972
7. newindyfan (filled 1)
8. Intempesta Nox (filled 2)
9. alexp3000 (filled 3)
10. Railok
11. thelivingforce

(NOTE):
I have sent out 3 PMs to the people who answered the other thread, and I am waiting a response from them, to see if they still want one created. So, in actuality there are 2 slots (now) open.




The Map ~

The "Raiders Map" that was created for PF was all hand drawn.

My version of the "Raiders Map" was recreated from the *original post" by Indianaholt if I am not mistaken.

I originally (only) made two maps... one for PF, another for myself, and decided to offer another one to be created to GCR.


Thinking it over ~

But, after thinking it over some, I decided that maybe I will offer it to everyone else here in the lounge (ONLY)! ~


First ~ how I made it.

(A little fact) ~

The movie version of the "Raiders" map (is seen only briefly) at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It is in several pieces, one held by Indy, the others by Satipo and Barranca.

(After looking at the map in the film, I verified this, and noticed that it was actually small, and folded several times, it is not 8 x11)

The original prop was actually just aged pieces of brown paper with no image on them.)

The map was constructed based on several images I did research on and found on the internet...

I hand-drawn (all) items on the map... they are not computer images... and all items are hand placed, (meaning drawn) ...as it will be more (accurate) historically...


1. I used a (images from a forum) and I eliminated certain features.

a. I removed a Temple icon , in the film, I did not see a (exterior) temple in the jungle, so that was disregarded.

b. I also removed ~ a "N" (north) indicator, (IMO) IF this map was map (made) from indigenous people, then it would be based on "landmarks" vs a "N" indicator on a compass or map. ~ and if it was made by another (explorer/adventurer) I dare to speculate that it would be somewhat detailed and missing certain features, as to avoid (others) using it. ~ (So, I used a combination of both) to represent this.

2. I also based it on Indy's movements on his way to the temple:
The entire trail is shown on the map... even the larger river where Jock is waiting to pick him up in his seaplane has been recreated, as well as the hill section before Indy reaches the seaplane.

3. To add authenticity, the features shown in the film were combined with place names from the Chachapoya region where these events would have really taken place.

4. I also added some (correct) Spanish for certain areas on the map.


The materials I use so far (for this project) ~

1. Plain Brown paper bag ~ (I did not use parchment paper)
2. Pencil (various lead weights)
3. Various (ink) pen sizes
4. Mother nature ~ (The best ager) ~
5. Coffee (effects in stages of aging)


Now my "offer" ~

IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY AND CAN NOT WAIT FOR ME TO FINISH A MAP!

Then I (request) you do the following...

1. I have scanned a ready made "Raiders Map" ~ all one has to do is print it out, and then add your own artistic qualities to it.

These will be sent by email ONLY and I will not place scans here in the thread boards.

2. If I get any requests, I can create a map completely by hand, using the techniques I explained above.


The choice is yours...

Simple and easy OR a handmade creation which will be unique, and no Map will be the same as the other before it.

and the best part? ~ NO CHARGE!


I do have one request ~

I will NOT hurry on these Maps... as I like to take my time in creating them.

Thats all I ask, is that you give me the time needed to create YOUR unique "Raiders Map".

If this sounds like a deal to you, then contact me here, or send me a PM ~


Well, let me know that everyone thinks!

Thanks for looking and reading.



RESPECTS! ~
