Coming soon to a holster near you... LC/KOTCS Webley!

This is what the plaque would look like... but in metal.

I'll see about grabbing a pic of the blackened front sight.

This replica looks amazing? Guess I'm way too late for the first run. Could I be added to the second run. I'm happy to send you the paypal whenever!
I'm in the UK and would like Light Weathered - Drilled, brass sight . Would love a plaque as well (just gotta hope you are gonna make more!)

I'll send you a PM to see my chances

Rook,

I'll take one of those plaques

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 2:41 pm

Sorry for not responding sooner everyone.
Been struck down by some bug causing 102+ degree tempratures.

Technically, I shouldn't even be on the computer now...

Here's a (poor quality) picture of what the markered over brass front sight looks like. Honestly, I think it looks pretty good in reality. You get a hint of the "brass" depending on how the light hits it.

I'll be accepting payments pretty quick for the first 9 on the list since those guns are done (except for Crowe's. Sorry mate, the bug hit when I was working on yours!)

Rook! You got the Look!

I think it looks great and very realistic. Besides who is going to be down in the holster staring at the sight unless it is a fellow gearhead!

Godspeed my good man and get some rest! Take two of these and post to us in the morning!

Indiana Bond · Post by **Indiana Bond** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 5:23 pm

Yes that marker over the brass looks exactly like the sights on my real Webley. That's definately the way to go.

Great job and stay healthy!

I'll take a plaque/stand.

Can we customize what it will say? I like:

INDIANA JONES(adventure font)
AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL
INDIANA JONES
.455 WEBLEY "WG" REVOLVER
Club Obi Wan Limited Run: #27/27

The reason I say run, is because these aren't limited editions, correct? Others will be able to still get the guns, just not in this run.

Indiana Max · Post by **Indiana Max** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 7:10 am

Sharpied-brass looks gorgeous

The first 27 guns are "limited" insofar as they have the Club Obi Wan numbering. The plaques will be printed to reflect this fact as well.

If I need custom plaques done with different wording and such, the cost jumps to $15.50 per plaque. Keep in mind I'm not making any money on the plaques. I'm just offering them through the services of another vendor. He's the one who's doing the printing work on them.

I like the sharpied over Brass sight as well - make mine that too. I promise no more changes.

Okay, stop crying, black it is.

Yes, I realize April 1st was almost 2 weeks ago. I promise to be good now.

Those in the first 9, check your PMs. I sent out payment info, but only received 3 replies/payments.

Thanks,

Watch out everyone musical list - looks like we may be moving up!

Had a couple people drop out, so yes, there have been move ups.

Cheers,

I don't know what's happening. This is my 3rd log in to post here. I would like mine black over brass, too, and yes, I'm in for a plaque as well. I'm super jazzed tht I got moved up on the list. Sorry for those who had to bow out, but I hope you're all doing OK anyway.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 10:13 pm

Indy Crowe's kit is FINALLY done! Yay!

I should be hearing back from the Plaque guy in a day or so.
I may just ship the pistols out and send the plaques afterwards so you guys don't have to wait any further.

Sorry about the delays everyone!

UPDATE:

I have #10 & 11 in the raw, and I'm hoping to get up to #15/16 by tomorrow night. Being gone visiting family really put a big crimp in my production schedule last week.

Not to mention catching up on a week's worth of unread e-mail. I think I'm up to day number 4 now.

Russ

Arlington Beech · Post by **Arlington Beech** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:24 am

Thanks so much for all the work you've done on these, they look phenomenal!

gmarthe · Post by **gmarthe** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 1:06 am

ANy idea on when you will start on the next run? I am very interested in aquiring one.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:09 pm

There's a cursed one in the Cairo Bazzar... otherwise, it won't be until all the first ones are done. Probably in the beginning of June I imagine.

Russ

gmarthe · Post by **gmarthe** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:25 pm

I saw the cursed one (thanks!). I can wait until the next run I was just curious about if/when you would make some. They look beautiful.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 1:45 am

I'm going to be conservative and say that the next run (after #27) will be in June.

Russ

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu May 01, 2008 9:16 pm

Got a pic of the plaques today...

This is only a few of them, but I think they look real nice.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu May 01, 2008 9:32 pm

I'm "hoping" this Saturday. Possibly early next week if it misses the Saturday delivery.

The plaque stands have been ordered and should be here in a day or two. The first two I ordered as a test arrived pretty quick.

Also, I have the next 12 guns almost ready for sanding and painting. I spent a few hours today drilling all the holes and trimming all the flashing where there was some.. I also found a smaller diameter brass rod for the lanyard loop locking pin, so I'm eager to try that out.

K on the run · Post by **K on the run** » Sat May 03, 2008 6:07 pm

Never mind the crappy pic, with that great looking gun no one will ever notice

Oh boy, I can't wait.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sun May 04, 2008 2:40 am

Also, here's a little tidbit on opening the gun. Grab it by the barrel, with
your fingers resting in the grooves on the underside of the barrel. Put
your thumb on top of the barrel above the cylinder. Release the lever
with your right thumb and gently twist the two halves open.

DO NOT JUST GRAB THE BARREL AND OPEN IT!

There's a reason I said it so loud. By grasping closer to the hinge you're
putting less of a strain on the barrel itself, and in turn the hinge. It's a
simple lever after all. If you look at the scene on the beach in the LC,
("Let my armies be the trees, the rocks and the birds in the sky...")
you'll see indy grab his own pistol that high up, near the hinge. Again,
with this pistol (the resin one) it will put less stress on the gun and reduce
the risk of damage.

Is it too late to get in on this?
I know I may not get one of the original 27. But, I would be interested in one. Even if it's one of the unfinished provided there is a color guide to come with it.
BTW, fantastic workmanship.

Check out Cairo Bazaar - Rook has a cursed one all ready too go.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sun May 04, 2008 2:04 pm

There's a sale pending on the cursed one. If the guy would just get back to me...

Macfett, I can add you to the list. In time.

What's up with the "cursed" one anyway.
As to the "In time", that's fine. I'm out of the country until after the Indy IV opening anyway.

Just let me know.
Thanks

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sun May 04, 2008 6:57 pm

What's up with the "cursed" one anyway.

Look in the Cairo Bazzar section. The whole scary story is there .

Update: I have all the grip sections for #10-21 drilled and sanded. Took 3 hours to wet sand the grips.

Going to start drilling the barrels after a bit. Shouldn't take too long since I've been working assembly line style which is MUCH faster than how I did the first 9 pistols.
