I don't think it's a backpack. I think it's rather a sailor bag, kind of these modern ones : http://www.ebagsmart.com/productsimages/SailorBag_54267.jpg http://www.ltgear.com/images/product_images/CAS-ELLDUFSAI_olive.jpg http://www.meetinginnovation.net.au/B114-_Clearance_Bag.jpg It has only one str...

Same here. Haven't been around for ages. And i can't believe my eyes. Sometimes, in life, you have that true moment where you feel something right happened and i think i'm linving that kind of moment. You earned it, both of you Steve and Marc. I hope you had a great time making those hats and i cert...

Just a sidenote, i've been buying "Indiana Jones" stuff on ebay or on websites for months now, and people used USPS everytime to send me the stuff. Well, i don't know how your postal service work 'domestically' in the US, guys, but i can swear that so far everything arrived under 10 days e...

Couldn't resist but to show you all what the postman brought me this morning. My Relic Raider Vintage Zippo !!! Pic : http://alternativ.free.fr/photos/category.php?cat=9 I can't thank you enough Relic Raider ! A nice zippo for a fair price and fast shipping (accross the Atlantic !), couldn't please ...

Mhmmhm, i think i know what i'm gonna buy myself on February...

Mhmhmm, so now if only Marc could launch his website with a registration form... :p

Congratz Marc, this hat looks awesome.

/me wants the AB Deluxe !

I found some details about that on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Switzerland Most amazing thing ? This situation is not unusual in Switzerland. People carrying assault rifle in supermarkets or in the street : http://alternativ.free.fr/switzerland.jpg en: Scene from Swiss da...

Wow, that has to be one of the dumbest laws I've ever seen. The only difference between the 8x57 and the other calibers you've listed is a few mm. It makes no sense at all. :? What were you exactly expecting from the french government ? :p Well, all jokes set aside, most of the european countries g...

Every "military" caliber and ammo is forbidden, regardless of how old it is. For my k98, i had to change it into a civilian caliber : either 8x60S, 8x64S, 7x64S (original one being 8x57S) Automatic and military weapons are fordbidden here, so everytime you want to own and shoot with a hist...

France probably have one of the most regulated situation about weapons (not only firearms btw, everything, even maze or stuff), so i share your pain. You have basically 5 possibilities, all good and depending of your needs : - you don't care about money, want the closest possible thing to the real g...

Thx Michaelson, I hadn't read this information before.

It's really a great thing to have so many wonderful people around here

Thx for replying guys ! I think i'm going for "Authentic" finally. It must be called like that for a reason :p Special thx to Rusty, i hadn't considered the holster issue and your pics were quite explicit Thx again, and keep coming the replies about how getting a "screen accurate"...

Well, i've read as much as i could on the matter and i think i'm almost ready. But before making the big jump, i'd like to have you guys checking everything, so that i can be sure i'm not doing it wrong. Just FYI, this is a "costume" jacket and i want it as screen accurate as possible. I'l...

I have never ever seen a beaver in my whole life. I don't even know if it's dangerous or if it can get naughty/vicious.

But it do make a difference when used in a Fedora for sure :p

QFE !!!

Nothing is better than an Akubra Fed for that quality/price ratio.

I can't give you a real advice, but i think that's an interesting topic, and i wonder what kind of watch Indy would use...

And this is how it looked when it arrived at my home few weeks ago :

Enjoy

I like it, nice hat and nice bash. I think you should take another picture, just like the second one, but with your head a bit lowered just like in this picture on Pagey's tutorial : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/WarEagle/pagey/forwrd.jpg You should then have the perfect "indy" look

Awesome work Adam !

Plz check ur pms, i might have a new order for you

Hi, Relic Raider, i'm interested in a Zippo "close-enough" to the one that we can see in the LC. I got 3 problems though : - i just don't know what options to choose. But i trust you. I just want the closest possible replica to Elsa's Zippo. - i don't know how to procede with the payment s...

The big problem is that I live in Chicago and we have about the toughest handgun laws in the U.S. If you think you have tough handgun laws, don't even think of coming in Europe. Most of the european people will not even see a real gun in their whole life... and in France, i know that you can own a ...

Don't feel like an idiot because i was wondering about the exact same thing until i came across this particular post :

Hey raindog ! Just wanted to let ya know that i'm in France and i ordered a Fed from HatDirect in late november, and it arrived exactly like mjcr described it : - no custom taxes - "gift" written on the box I chose the Fed Standard and it's a wonderful hat ! You can find some pics of the b...

Ok, this explains that.

Thx for lighting things up, guys.

I'm gonna wait for Marc to open his AB european store now :p

Thanx again for all your nice inputs.

Thanks for the link, prairiejones. That indeed might help ! I'll pm you asap, the real henry, although i'm not sure of what you mean by "making a block". My 2 big problems with my bash are : - i don't have good pictures of the back. Should the brim goes down or should it go up nicely, roug...

Hey everyone ! I would have posted sooner but the registrations were closed lately, due to maintenance and i had to wait until yesterday to get registered. I'd like to share with you my little (and brand new !) experience in the wonderful world of indiana jones' gear. But first and foremost, please ...
