Were you looking at the stunt version? I saw some pics of a stunt version that was displayed there and I can't remember exactly but somebody mentioned it was a rubber cast of a hero whip for the stunt scenes. I can dry and dig up the pictures that were posted at the time of the release. The hero ver...

Question for the group: if one were looking for a CS Adventurebilt made on the original block used for the film hats, what range of hat sizes would that imply? I know this is a very specific question [emoji4]

Thanks all!

Beautiful whip! I know of a couple of 80' vintage Morgans that sold last year, one through Midwest whip for something like $1800 and another one through a private sale, it looked kinda like yours and sold for around $1500 maybe a little more even. But they didn't have any broken strands so I don't k...

Loneken

Thanks! Are those screen accurate/ the ones used in the movie or replicas?

Loneken

Just noticed Thomas stopped taking orders as of 2 days ago until at least Q3 this year. Hope he clears his backlog quickly so that I can get in on this amazing piece! Thanks for pointing that out. I’m highly considering buying a Raider from him now, so looks like I have some time to decide. I email...

Looks fantastic really! Was Harrison a size 58 exactly for KOTCS? Does anyone know what size to get to be fully SA ?

Loneken

Looks perfect! Very jealous right now [emoji6]

Loneken

Are you getting any updates on your order at least? The consignment section of the website has been updated so somebody is still running the business.

Loneken

Great review and very nice acquisition thanks for posting! What's the best way to get in touch with him?

Loneken

Interesting question - following with interest!

Loneken

Sorry about my ignorance when it gets to fedoras, but were Marc's blocks used to make any of the screen used hats?

Loneken

Saw it as well on his FB page and had the same thought. The "more to come" was such a tease [emoji2]

Loneken

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

Loneken

I'm not really an expert in Indy fedoras but this one looks spot on. Makes me want to get one actually! Now I have to decide between this version and a Crusader. [emoji848]

IJJTM wrote:Yeah, how come short handle LC is the norm?

DM changed his whips slightly over the years. The handles got thicker and shorter for example. I have a DM from late 90's, the handle on it is 4.5" between the knots so 0.5" shorter than a LC.

Loneken

My pleasure! They will work with any scene specific look that you’re after, but they won’t do any weathering. Michelle is really fantastic to work with. I must have sent her a dozen different photos from a dozen different angles to capture the right look. She compared those to her own photos that s...

I’m continuing to pine away for a screen accurate, high-quality 10-foot Raiders bullwhip. This is something that’s been on my bucket list for well over a decade. I always thought I’d go with a Del Carpio when the time came to pull the trigger on a whip, but after seeing and hearing about Paul Nolan...

Loneken

Yep that's a good shot thanks! Now that I know that Nolan makes his whip on the thinner side, makes me wonder if the Indy 5 whip as we've seen on the recent pics is a Nolan as it does seem very thin.. anyway this is off topic [emoji846] I'm happy with my Del Carpio and sounds like owners of Nolans a...

Loneken

Interesting conversation! Comparing my DM and my Del Carpio they're really almost exactly the same thickness and dimensions (other than the handle on my DM is less screen accurate). So I'm wondering, does Paul Nolan make thinner whips on purpose, or does it feel lighter and thinner but that's just ...

Loneken

I second that. I don't own a Paul Nolan so can't say anything about his whips, but I own a Del Carpio and a DM and I love my Del Carpio. He's the go to for screen accuracy. He knows every single detail of how the DMs were made and will tell you all about it if you ask him... Also depending on what y...

Come on dude. Stop trashing this guys work. This is way better than cow hide close enough. Just sayin, your raining on my parade.

Well I’ve order my whip. He typically doesn’t use white falls, but I think it mentioned he’s going to source them out for me (and maybe future customers) His final response, or one of them was he’s handled many a DM and Stones for repair work and has been making whips for the past 44 years. Was he’...

Agreed - double wrap is the way to go if you don't want your whip to slip. I bought mine from SpadeArcherLeather on Etsy and love it.

Man that's really cool! Congrats they look great!

Loneken

Well you know the o'l saying, you can't judge the color based on your screen. Might look off on your monitor, but look different on mine. What you have to ask your self is how close to SA do you want and most people won't judge the color/shade of your pants to the character in question. What they'l...

Loneken

I think to buy a new indy pants. I have the Wested pants the first generation and the color isn't accurate is very light. I find the most accurate Raiders pants. Currently which would be more accurate in color and design, Wested or WPG. I saw the Magnoli pants and I don't spend a lot of money. I do...

Loneken

Dang, that’s super close. Only thing is that the heel knot is too circular, but I’m assuming that he would make it more squared off if he was asked to. Yeah I can see that. Pretty sure he would adjust it on the next one if asked. Overall I would say though I've seen a bunch of KOTCS replicas and I ...

Loneken

There you go. I think the Jacka is on the right and Bernardo's on the left. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201221/13f2e40fd9f0d0d3d9f837c722e84da4.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201221/bedb3ca617696c446747a523b01a3a1f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201221/d98f7411724eaed089108d06...

Thanks ! Very nice replica.

Loneken

Looks good! What is it made of?

Loneken

Thanks for going in depth on that. The next whip I plan to get is a 6 foot Lion Tamer from either Trinity or Del Carpio. That or a 10-foot KOTCS from Del Carpio. His KOTCS looks outstanding. I've seen comparison pics of his KOTCS and a Jacka, I think he nailed it. It's next on my list. Do you happe...

Loneken

How would you say it cracks? I'm really just a beginner when it gets to whip and having limited backyard space and the current covid restrictions where I live means that I haven't really been able to get into it since I got it, but it handles nicely from what I've seen. I did a fair amount of resea...

IJJTM wrote:So you just want it to age over time?

Yes that's the plan. These things last for 10 or 20 years, and I don't intend to sell it anytime soon or ever.

Loneken

IJJTM wrote:The whip looks great, but I’m curious, how come you didn’t get it made in Whiskey?

All of the whips I'm the first 3 movies were made in natural tan - KOTCS is the exception where the Jacka whips were darker.

Loneken

Very interesting thanks for sharing!
