that are really great news. Hope I can now finish my Indy collection. I only need the LC holster and a pair of aldens

Thanks Noel for coming back !

IndianaMike

I often thought about buying fullers earth but I can't find it in Germany. And I don't want to pay those expensive shipping charges from the US for a bit fullers earth.

IndianaMike

hey guys,
I had a long break with making new topics but now here is one. I aged my jacket,bag and fedora and I want to know how you out there aged your pants ?

I have to say it everytime: Sorry for my bad English...

IndianaMike

I've ordered the last pair of LC Pants from him today. Maybe he still has some raiders shirts.

Good luck

Mike

IndianaMike

I sold my whip today at ebay for 75 $. Its not a bad price for my old whip.
The bidder had no problems with the scratches. Thanks for your help out there anyway ;-)

Mike

IndianaMike

Sergei: the scratches are everywhere. I was so "stupid" to crack the whip on a rainy day on a street a year ago. I need pecard with brown color. Hope I can get some in Germany.

IndianaMike

well, I tried it with pecard and it looked good. But 2 days later it looks totally scratched again.

IndianaMike

hi,
I have a brown bullwhip with some scratches. Can I buy a brown colored leather cream to make it look newer ? Is there something like that ?

Mike

IndianaMike

my last sentence

WESTED RULES ;-)

IndianaMike

that helps much, thanks.
I compared my jacket with the details you wrote down and I think I have a very accurate jacket. Wested is definitive the way to go.
Had only the LC jacket an inside pocket ?

-Mike

IndianaMike

I got my LC shirt a month ago and it has no extra pocket.
maybe only the raiders version ?

-Mike

IndianaMike

hi, I read some posts from this forum and now I'm not sure if a wested is really the same what we see in the movies. Before I bought the LC wested I told Peter Botwright that I want the same jacket like in the movie. same leather, lining, zip, etc. . But what does the original look like ? which lini...

IndianaMike

well it cracks nice and loud. I'm not a pro in whipcracking but I think with some training you will make that whip crack like a gun ;-) You can't go wrong with that whip. Sergei knows Mr. Markell personally and he said that he's doing a good job in whipmaking.

Hope my English isn't too bad.

IndianaMike

hi auntsugar,
I have the budget Indy for nearly a year now. I think its great. Well, the original was a 12 plait but 8 plait looks great too. It looks really authentic.
go to my homepage for pics.

hope this helps.

IndianaMike

hi,
I want to buy the LC Pants from NH. Is there anything I need to know ?

Mike

IndianaMike

Ok OK , I'm wrong. But I know that you can't go wrong with a 10 footer ;)

IndianaMike

hi,
I have a 10 ft from Jim ( EC Whips) and its great. Indys whip was a 10 footer, so why to get an 8 footer ;-)

Mike

IndianaMike

ok, I think I wait for my shirt and then I'll check the color.

IndianaMike

hey there,
I know that it is better to re-dye the NH Raiders shirt for an accurate color but what about the NH Last Crusade shirt ?

IndianaMike

I went to Wal-Mart Germany but I haven't found the gloves. Maybe they get them someday.

IndianaMike

Is there a link to Home Depot and Mid- West ?

thanks

IndianaMike

Is anyone here who has the raiders gloves ? What are you guys think about them. Is a jones outfit complete without gloves ? I at Wells Lamont but I couldn't find them. How much do they cost ?

Mike

IndianaMike

hey guys,
Noel is on vacation. He will come back on wednesday.

IndianaMike

hello Jim,
a few month ago I bought an 8 plait whip from you. How long will it take to make the whip less stiff ?

mike

IndianaMike

I noticed that in some scenes of the Indy movies the whip is like a rope and in some other scenes very stiff( you can see it in the beginning of raiders when holds the coiled whip in his hand). But for example, on the airplanefight the whip is hanging like a rope on the holder(with rope I mean that ...

IndianaMike

well, I didn't know that. Nice to hear that whips are popular in German too.
But the first thing I do is to buy pecard.Should I use especially a cream for whips or can I use a cream for all kinds of leather.

mike

IndianaMike

thank you for your offer Renderking, but I think I will find Fullers Earth in Germany. If not, my problem

regards. mike

IndianaMike

well, I'm very interested in cracking a whip. The only thing is that I have to search for a place to crack. Its hard to find a place where I live. There is no person who could explain me how to crack and I don't know if whipcracking books are useful enough. I tried it once and I hit myself badly on ...

IndianaMike

great to hear that it wasn't a silly question , so hears my next :wink: No really, how long does it take that the whip looks like the one in the movies ? Is it a long aging progress. And did they put fullers earth on it because in TOD the whip looks very dirty and kind of greyish. Can I speed up the...

IndianaMike

OK, I don't know by myself why I've asked such a silly question.

IndianaMike

I knew that someone would think its a trick question ;-)
No, I really wanted to know because I have no idea of careing for a whip.

thanks

IndianaMike

Why is pecard so important ? please tell me the disadvantages when I don't use leather (creams.)

IndianaMike

does the aged jacket look better with fullers earth ? someone knows if I could get Fullers Earth in Germany ?

IndianaMike

hi, a few days ago I aged my wested. I think it looks good. after I showed it to my mom she was kind of shocked ;-) She said: "how could you do something like that to your 250 $ jacket ?"( but after I explained her why I did it she thinks it looks good). Anybody else with a story ? PS: Hop...

IndianaMike

I also used acetone for aging my wested. ####, it looks really cool. I have to say that I did a great job

Perhaps I can post some pics.

bye

IndianaMike

How much cost it etc.

IndianaMike

Ok, silly question...

IndianaMike

I have a NJ Whip from J.Markell. Do I have to care it with Pecard etc .?
What if I don't care for it ?

IndianaMike

I'm not able to get an Indy holster for those prices. I also have to pay the shipping to Germany (30$). So I hope that theres a good pricetag holster.

bye
