Let us know when you get the belts from Wade!
There's so many good lines in the Indy movies, they all make great avatars.

Like yours, eh, Noah? ;D I just made my avatar an Indy Quote. Steven Yep. I like to change my avatars and use lines from the Indy movies, or Star Wars.

Cool! I like to use either one of my gear photos or one of my Scamper/Indy Photo Manips.

What is it with you and Scamper, PJ? Cool pic, though. ;D I thought Indy-lines were normal praxis. Oh well, I'm just a follower.

You can make anything your avatar and any lines, but Indy lines are good.

What is it with you and Scamper, PJ? Cool pic, though. ;D Well, like the quote in my Avatar says, Scamper isn't as different from Indy as you pretend. He's a shadowy reflection of him. It would take only a nudge to make him like Indy. To push him out of the light. Oh, and thanks for the compliment. ;D The magic's in the eye contact. ARCHIVAL EDIT: My avatar at the time of this post It would take only a nudge to make you like me... Steven

Yep, he sure does look like he wants a cracker.

Post by Pennsylvania Jones on Sept 28, 2010 20:56:52 GMT -5
;D Yeah, he does...
Scamper: Indy, that crate of crackers that Louie smashed is empty. Can I have one from you?
Indy [frustrated]: Stop pestering me, will you?
It could be because the screencap I got this Scamper from was when he was begging his mother for more food.

I soaked my sandbag in tea. Here's how it looks: I used Lipton tea and I soaked it for a few minutes. It didn't make a significant difference but it's certainly more tan. This is just the first stage. Next I plan on using coffee and dirt.

Looks great! Looking forward to the final results. Steven

Thanks! It looks more tan in real life, but that's pretty much how it looks. I'll post new pictures once I finish the distressing.

Good start. Definitely not as dark as coffee, though. Do you think it's dark enough?
By the way, called Wested again because my mails go in the spam... (!) This time I got Peter (I think, didn't catch the name), because Gemma wasn't there. I then find out my order is listed as cancelled... It's being looked in to now... I'm getting a little nervous...

Actually I think I need to go darker. That was the first step, just to see what tea would do to it. I'll be using a bit of coffee too. Your order was cancelled? I wonder why they have these sorts of problems. I hope everything gets straightened out. Keep us posted on it!

PJ, I think the bag in your screen grab looks darker in its base color than noah's. Though it looks a little lighter than mine, but with dirt that makes it look darker than the base color.
Thanks, Noah. I really hope they're getting on top of this... I'll call again thursday, since my e-mails are lost in cyber space.

Mine is too light. The screen used one is darker and has more brown. Also I need to sand paper mine a bit more, as well as the leather cord.
Let us know what they say about your jacket. I hope they're getting on top of it too.

If you say so, guys. Just keep in mind that the screenshot was taken in a darker place than where Noah's pic was taken. Tan looks okay for me, then dirtied up real good. Steven

There's a pretty bright light shining right on Indy and the bag, so I don't really think it's all that dark. But yea, once it gets dirtied up I'm sure it'll be better. I'm sure Noah won't rest till it's perfect.
And then there's some news. I just picked up my shipment from Wade Egan today, and everything looks really good! Except, there are grooves... Yes, grooves on holster and bag strap. Now, I know these are the two places I have had confirmed that there are grooves, but I ordered them without...
I also have a slight problem with the super whip holder, so any one who has one, please chime in. My problem is that I have to roll the whip up really loose. Like, at just before three coils turn to two. And even then I have to snap it over the narrowest part I can find, right at the end off the thong(?) / braided leather part. This isn't very pleasant to walk around with.

Yellow light isn't as bright as white light. Tan is fine, and then dark dirt... Ah, whatever! I'm giving up trying to argue with you guys. There are grooves on your Wade Egan gear? Dang! Could you post a pic of the whipholder so I can see what you mean? (And while you're at it, the rest of your gear so far? :-P) EDIT: You said "Just came back from Kim's, he showed me some (very!) hi-res pictures from Raiders. This confirmed what I thought I saw with my own eyes; that there are grooves on the holster (which will be put in by Kim once I get the holster). I looked for grooves on belt and strap also, but I couldn't see anything definitive." Have you really seen grooves on the strap? Steven

Haha, yea, can't we all just get along...!
I'll take some pictures as soon as possible. Haha, good catch on my quote. True, I didn't see anything on the strap, but I hear from Kim that he's heard from the horses mouth (the guy that made the straps for the movie) that there are very light grooves.

I soaked the bag in coffee and rubbed it in dirt. I'll post a pic for you guys. It looks much better. So you got grooves on your gear. At least the guy who made the gear in Raiders said that there were slight grooves. So you're still SA. I have a Super Holder from Wade, but I don't have any problems with it. Can you post a pic of the whip holder WITH the whip attached to it? Also, did you tell Wade the length of your whip?

Here's a pic of how my Todd's sandbag looks now after soaking it in coffee, then rubbing it around in dirt. I'm not done with it yet. When I have time I might add more shoe polish and dirt.

Really nice job on the bag! Enjoying the coffee smell? ;D Yea, got grooves. But I wanted to wait to put them in until I saw them myself. I don't think the grooves Wade has put in are exactly SA. I've seen Kim's, which should be to spec. They're a lot more subtle. Here's what I mean about the whip holder. This is the tightest I can coil up the whip and have it fit. On the plus side, the holder does hold it in place REALLY well! And here's a pic of the gear! The lighting is a little yellow/greenish, sorry about that.
