Ps:

The fedora we ordered off eBay came and we were scammed. It was made out of CARDBOARD and wasn't even a fedora. It was some kind of child's hat.

So, I need to find a cheap fedora to practice with!

IndyFanChuck

Jeff,

Thanks for your advice. Right now I'm still waiting on some items I ordered to arrive. Well hopefully be trying to dirty up the parts soon and posting photos!!!

IndyFanChuck

Jeff, I have not heard of aging powders. Can you tell me what exactly I need to research for that info, please sir? I've not heard that term before. Thank you! Kind regards, ~Chuck The other tip from Adam Savage, always use at least three colors when aging/weathering props. It starts getting expensi...

IndyFanChuck

Thank you for the advice. My son and I will try your sidewalk chalk idea. THATS not bad andvice at all actually! My son is at that age where this kind of stuff is a lotta fun, and it feels like we're about to make our own Indiana Jones movie!!! Best, ~Chuck The thing to remember, tho, is that fuller...

IndyFanChuck

Jeff, yes I think this may be the answer. I ordered some but don't know when it will arrive. I'll post up photos and keep you all in the loop. I've seen some other folks dirty up their jackets but it looks like white baby powder! I want to avoid that look. :rolling: ~Chuck Yep, generally fuller's ea...

IndyFanChuck

Excellent video. Thank you for this one! ~Chuck Here's a video by Caleb Noth of The Adventure Den youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc8TcsVRGVo He makes his own hats and weathers some of them. He does a great job explaining the process step by step, in my humble opinion. Hope this hel...

IndyFanChuck

Yes, I'm going to order some and my son and I will try it out. We ordered a pretty cheap Indy fedora to experiment with so I'm not worried about damage. I figure it'll be worth it when we find just the right mix! My son and I are having fun working on this together! :-) ~Chuck Fuller‘s Earth in my e...

IndyFanChuck

Thank you for this. I was unfamiliar with this so we'll order some and try it out and see how it looks. This is a fun project for me and my son. Thanks for the tip!!! ~Chuck Fuller’s Earth is what Hollywood uses. Todd’s Costumes used to carry it, but I don’t see it on his website anymore. This place...

Hey guys, I just posted a similar question over about the Fedora but I realized how different the leather jacket is so I wanted to ask for advice and help in dirtying up the jacket and making it look dusty! My son and I ordered a budget Indiana Jones Raiders jacket. We are trying to make the jacket ...

IndyFanChuck

Hi friends, My son and I ordered a budget Fedora and are going to try and replicate the "dirty/dusty" Raiders Cario look. Before we get started trying to replicate this look, has anyone else successfully found the best way to re-create this dirty Raiders look? Yes, LOL, I realize we can pl...

IndyFanChuck

Hola friends! So, I'm a short, chubby fella. The problem Im finding when I order Indiana Jones pants for my costume is the crotch is so low I feel like I'm starring in a rap video! They are too baggy, and look horrible. This says more about my body than anything. :lol: Can any other chubby fellas of...

IndyFanChuck

Hello friends! I've been following Steele & Jones Fedora photos for years and years. Their work on the dirty/dusty Raiders fedora is killer. I love the photos and info they post up on social media. And I have asked Roberto about nine THOUSAND questions about the hat! They seem like really nice g...

IndyFanChuck

Hey friends, I just got my new holster from Etsy. The store is called “WorldWarSupply” and it was inexpensive and I’m really happy with it. I asked him to fit it for a Webley (replica). Shipping was FAST and it came only a couple days after my order. The forum won’t upload my photos, so here is a li...

IndyFanChuck

When I placed my order I was a wee bit worried that there was no follow up email, no shipping notice. Nothing. I’m hopeful it will be worth it! Fingers crossed.

~Chuck

IndyFanChuck

I cant find a Rook replica, so I bit the bullet and decided to order this bad boy. Its coming from overseas to the USA so I am guessing it will probably take over 2 months to arrive. At least based on other overseas orders I made this summer. https://shootandscoot.co.uk/products/webley-greener"...

IndyFanChuck

I’ve been a member a long time! But I can’t recall ever reading on this forum how many whips were used in the first movie?

Is that a movie fact we all know the answers to?

~Pastor Chuck

IndyFanChuck

That is fantastic! Thank you Jack! Awesome sauce!

IndyFanChuck

Thanks guys! Great photos. I’ve always felt that the whip they used for the truck scene was probably a steel cable with a whip made over it? Most likely? I have Vic Armstrong’s book, so I need to read that section again to see what he says about performing that stunt! I have forgotten! Have we ever ...

IndyFanChuck

Hey friends! May I kindly ask, does anyone have any high res screenshots of the “Throw Me The Idol, I Throw You The Whip” scene? I’d like to take a close look at the whip in that scene if possible. All I found on goggle was low res. I’m trying to match what I see on screen to my costume. I don’t car...

IndyFanChuck

What a great video! Amazing! I wonder where the hat ended up? I always wonder who ends up buying these hats and whips and things.

Anyone on the forum here end up with any nice screen used Indy pieces?

~Pastor Chuck

IndyFanChuck

GREAT NEWS! The ink is flowing! It was suggested I prime the nib by squeezing the ink cartridge over the sink and it worked!

I’m crazy excited!

IndyFanChuck

That is very exciting news. I would prefer to order yours so I shall wait! Thank you! My Bday was yesterday so I’ll just consider this my Bday Present! -Chuck We're currently working on a ready-made version of our Adventure Shirt (I'm wearing the prototype right now!) and planning to keep the price ...

IndyFanChuck

Well. Sadly I’ve had my new Fountain Pen for several days and been unable to get the ink to move. It won’t write.

The manufacturer has yet to reply to my emails, but I assume they are busy. We’ll see.

What pen should I try now? Suggestions?

IndyFanChuck

For the money, the Magnoli bag is amazing. You won’t be disappointed. Just my humble opinion. Go Magnoli!

-Chuck

IndyFanChuck

Annnnnnnnnd the pen absolutely wont write. I have followed the directions on the cartridge. I tried six different cartridges. I shook the pen. I prayed. I sang it a song. It won’t write.

Now it’s time to test out her script!

IndyFanChuck

;) My Dryden Designs Fountain Pen came in today. (Thanks Amazon!) This purchase is my first Fountain Pen so I’m excited to see how it will write. It has a nice weight to it. Here are a few photos: https://i.imgur.com/XjgqrHL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GqSBbzb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9aHq01E.jpg :H:

IndyFanChuck

Amazon shipped my Fountain Pen and sent me that “Your package will arrive today!” email. Then moments ago Amazon sent me their infamous “Just kidding, it’ll be another day!” email.

The wait struggle is real.

IndyFanChuck

Well you inspired me. I ordered this one, and yes I know it’s a cheap-oh! But, it was on sale! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0793PRTK9?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Now, if you guys can recommend a moderately priced vintage pen, I’ll order on...

IndyFanChuck

Okay M, I’ll just use my imagination! I’m Irish, so Green is easy....

You gotta show us yours, now! Come on!

$30 dollars has a nice ring to it! :lol: I may have to give that one a shot. Thank you! -Chuck Are there any "close enough" modern fountain pens that convey the Indy film look? Ideally for less than several hundred dollars? One of my daily drivers is the Wing Sung 601. It's a modern clone ...

IndyFanChuck

Excellent read, thank you Jeff. That was perfect. My father may have a few vintage fountain pens so he’s going to check around for me. If he has them I’ll post photos up here. What I’m thinking about purchasing now is a Fountain Pen-esque item I stumbled across online that uses India Ink. I found it...

IndyFanChuck

Hey gang,

Any recommendations on getting the best Fountain pen? I know some of you on here have experience using them! Should I go vintage, or is there a current merchant that’s recommended?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly!

-Chuck

IndyFanChuck

I’m a chunky fellow, so the fit of the last shirt I ordered back in 2013 just did not work. It was a bit too snug. I’ll have to order a slightly larger one this time.

It’s not my fault. It’s the mileage.

IndyFanChuck

Happy Holidays! It’s time for me to get a new Indy shirt and I live in the USA. What’s the best bang for the buck on a shirt here in the USA?

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

-Chuck

IndyFanChuck

Ok, thank you! I'll look both those up and see if they are in my budget for this BUDGET display! Lol

IndyFanChuck

Hey friends! I used a killer coupon and bought a 5 foot poster of Indiana Jones from art.com, that I had mounted to wood. It's killer. Looks AMAZING. I need a close-enough whip to hang beside it. I mean, budget. Any advice on cheap "close enough" whips? Help! Haha Thanks!!! ---Chuck

IndyFanChuck

I don't know how I missed this photo. You look killer. I'd make it black and white. lol Congratulations, HDRnR!!! \:D/ Your pics take me back to how my jacket looked when Dave handed it to me!!! :o It looks great, especially since I'm now a first hand observer of how nicely and quickly it breaks in....

I just got to spend a few minutes reading this thread and it was very informative! Thanks for sharing! I really do need to upgrade my indy shoes!

Great great posts! Love the photos and I'm jealous of how great you look!

I like your hat! Wait, thats off topic. Im sorry! Hey, how awesome is this gun??!!!!!! I know in the past there have been legal issues with casting and retaining the S&W logo. There might be serious hoops to jump through to legally use their logo on a repro, but I do not recall that bit. But yes...

IndyFanChuck

Rather than go into it all, I will just say that I am getting a refund and am severely disappointed.

Moving on. Maybe we can lock this topic. Momma always told me when I was young, if you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all.

Taking the high road on this one boys!

---Chuck

IndyFanChuck

I don't know what to think at this point. It's been 7 days and I have not heard from Todd about my ill fitting Fedora and shirt. I called, I emailed. I may have no choice but to get a refund from Todd and take my business elsewhere. Which is a shame. It takes 60 seconds to send an email to a custome...

IndyFanChuck

Thanks guys. I am a BIT concerned. I called Todd's and left a message. No response. I emailed and asked them to call me. No response.

Hopefully they will contact me back about getting the correct sizes before Halloween.... hopefully.....

IndyFanChuck

Desi is a 100% legitimate businessman, and that gun is STILL copyrighted so it would be illegal. Not what screenused is about. It's an AWESOME idea, and I would love it, but I would doubt that would happen. Especially with Smith and Wesson being such a big company. Just my opinion though..... :BD:

IndyFanChuck

Michael.....

MICHAEL. Photos. I demand photos. Or you can't have ANY cake. And you can't sing ANY David Bowie Labyrinth songs with me and Holt!
