I wanted to take upon a new quest. I wanted to see what it took to make a Hat block. a Raiders hat block of course.
and man! I was so surprized how much work it really was 
..wow, what can I say really other then that I so respect people who do this for a living. 
I want to thank Steve for giving me a a couple pointers on how to start this Block project. I was/am completly new at this, so Thanx Steve
The hat itself was an Fed4 standard. not the one I made the SoC hat in that some of you might have seen, but another Fed. the one I made the LC hat with.
I stripped the hat and wet it down. slammed it on my block, which is not finished yet. I have lots to do on the block, but I couldnt wait to see what result I got from it
I really wanted to have that square crown and that big brim swoop that the SoC hat has. The Fed4 untouched is a good hat and it can pull it of, but it doesnt have THE look I wanted.
okay, enuff chat, here is the result. what do you think?
Another SoC hat by Holt
(Bear in mind that angle is slightly of.)
More pictures to come when I have the hat finsihed tweaked and aged.
this is too much work. and I would freak out if I had to do this for someone else. 
I would love to reblock my Fed. The SOC is my favorite incarnation of Indy's hat. Very well done.
