Adventurebilt - Raiders to Last Crusade Conversion
Decided that my new AB beaver (Steve's original Raiders block) would look better converted into an LC bash - specifically, the cave bash used in the end of the film.
How did I do?

Agreed it looks like the same hat.
The only problem is you have the ribbon on the wrong side.

HE doesn't have a long way to trail. Steps out of his apartment and he stumbles into the bar. I will see you guys there
Re: Adventurebilt - Raiders to Last Crusade Conversion
Not re-blocked - just used the teakettle steam and looked at the photo to bash it. Since this photo was taken, I've tweaked it a bit further (tighter pinch at the very top and some brim bending).TenuredProfessor wrote:Nailed it!!!

No due, There no need for you to go back and forth just for me.

Re: Adventurebilt - Raiders to Last Crusade Conversion
Thanks, guys -
I'm hoping Steve will chime in with his thoughts. Hopefully, he won't be upset that I turned this raiders hat into a LC. However, I did just purchase ANOTHER AB Beaver from a fellow COW member and this fedora has Steve's newest raiders block so I won't mess with that one at all.

I'd say that's a great crease job. I've always loved the way that hat looked from the front. Never much cared for the profile of that hat. Steve's block will ensure that your newley recreased LC hat will look stunning from the front AND side.
