Thank you for all the kind words. I really appreciate the feedback.

I used filler primer. I put on about 12 coats. I sanded between each coat. 3D printed pieces have small print lines that you have to fill and smooth. You do a LOT of sanding.

Thank you for the kind words. I used Molotow Liquid Chrome in an airbrush for the blade and parts of the handle.

Here are a few additional pics

I am working on a cosplay for Temple of Doom from the bridge scene. I needed a machete that I could carry at a con. I looked around at alternatives and decided to make my own. I modeled my prop off the Noble Collection Temple of Doom machete. Members from the forum on Indygear.com were kind enough t...

Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it.

Does anyone know if the gussets make the fit more baggy? Were they included in the original Raiders jacket?

I am looking to order a Wested Custom Raiders Jacket in washed lamb. I have the Standard Raiders in lamb and like the fit but need a smaller size. I was hoping to get the best of both worlds with a good fit and features from the on the screen jacket. I am thinking about adding the following requests...

After roughly a year, I am about to order my second jacket. I like my first Wested standard Raiders in lamb. However I got in shape and lost 35 pounds. I am 6 feet tall and now weigh 177 lbs. My size 44 jacket is too big. So I am looking to order a size 42 Raiders in washed lamb. I wear a 42 Long so...

Regarding the color of the new WPG pants...they are closer to the Wested color in the pic at the top of the post. They more brownish. The older WPG were closer to the other pairs of pants in the pic. I prefer the older color but that is just me. It is not based on screen accuracy. I am not an expert...

I have ordered many things from WPG and most have been good. They also offer good customer service. I recently ordered a new pair of the WPG pants and did not care for them. I have a pair of the WPG light pants that are no longer available. I found the new ones to be very different from the older on...

Indiana Jeff...Thank you!

Indiana Jeff...thanks for the pics and measurements. Can you tell me how thick the top edge of the bade is? Can you also tell me how thick the handle is at the very bottom and the thickness just before the handle meets the blade? I saw a side view and the handle looks a lot thicker at the bottom ver...

Jack Shannon...Thank you for your offer. One of the other members on the board was kind enough to send me pics and measurements. I will be sure to post pics when the project is done.

I am looking to do a Temple of Doom Indy cosplay. I need a TOD Machete but you can't bring a metal Machete to a con. So I am looking at making a replica out of foam. I have been able to find pics online but I am looking for detailed measurements for me to base my foam machete. I want to make it as r...

Pitforce5...your technique looks great. I just tested using food grade glycerin in a 50/50 mix with water in a small spray bottle to simulate sweat. It looked great. It stayed "damp" for a week until I washed it. It came completely out. I used it on a WPG Indy shirt. If anyone uses this te...

The regular lamb I got has a dark brown color that looks similar to the movie color sans the weathering. Hope that helps.

I am thinking about distressing my new WPG Indy shirt. I am looking to make it look like it has seen some adventures instead of brand new. I am going for a Raiders look. I have read threads where people have used mineral oil, olive oil or glycerine to simulate sweat. But what about general dirt and ...

I just got a pair of these boots yesterday. The shipping was fast. I live in the US on the East Coast and got them in 3 days. They look very nice and the fit was spot on for me. I wore them out to dinner and they felt comfortable. I think they will feel even better as they naturally break in. The on...

I took Holts advice and got the Standard Raiders in Lambskin. The shipping was fast. I got it today and am very happy with it. I think it fits great. :lol: Now time to break it in. I also got the Wested Indy boots. They look great to me. I wore them tonight and they fit well. Thanks for all the advi...

The holster looks great. I followed your approach and got good results. Did you apply anything to the leather after you dyed it to hold the dye? Does the dye rub off or come off if wet? I am concerned about the color coming off on my pants.

Thanks

Thank you for the helpful advice. I greatly appreciate it.

I am new to the forums and am ordering my first Indy jacket. I am putting together a Raiders costume and am looking for a Raiders jacket that I can use for the costume but also as an everyday coat. After looking at the options and my budget, I have decided on the Authentic "Indiana Jones" ...
