The Zombie Apocalypse is upon us

Post by Bruce Wayne »

You go to your closet & grab some Indy shirts & pants, you MKVII bag & whip. YOu grab a gun & some boxes of ammo along with a jacket. But you only have time to grab one Indy hat. Which one is it & why?

Mine would be my Crystal Skull adventurebilt.

just a piece of advice: go for the head. DON'T put zombies on fire, it doesn't work, plus you will have FIRE zombies tackling you. not good.

My Dorfman Pacific POS "Looks nothing like Indy" hat.

If I'm going to get zombie blood on something, it might as well be that piece of trash.

Any one hat, would probably be my sahara AB, even though it'll get dirty really fast. If we are talking strictly Indy, I'll go with my Penman Raiders. She's my "I'm going on a REAL adventure" hat. She's filthy, stained, and the felt is so broken in it flaps in the wind. That is my zombie fighting Indy hat.

I would grab the same hat I grab for every other occassion. My AB CS. I have a few other nice hats but I find I have a hard time not grabbing my go to fedora. So I guess hunting zombies wouldn't change that. :TOH:

Wouldn't a Brazilian Tarp Hat a-la Zombieland be more appropeau?

When I first read the topic title, this was what I thought:

Since I have only 2 hats in rotation, it would be the Fed IV since it fits me just right. The Peters Bros might fly off while I'm running away from zombies... but I think it would shrink nicely and fit my head better in the long run (and with all that running away - it would definitely be a long run).

Yes. :anxious: :CR:

It was also born because the main character lost his hat.

I`d wera my trusty ol` Raiders AB. I swear I have been trying hard to get it to look Streets of Cairo thru natural distressing and that thing only looks kinda Raven Bar distressed. Them Zombies would have a hard time chewing thru that beaver felt!

I just had to post this... The zombies are coming!!!

It's an Indy zombie I made today. Originally this was part of my Plants vs Zombies figurine run... that's why he has a tie. The hat is too small, though.

That's how it all started. My daughter asked me to make a Peashooter and Sunflower for her... then friends kept requesting me to make more for selling. Because of that I tried learning how to make a mold and cast figures in resin (I think I posted an inquiry here a few months back on how to make molds). The only slow process with making these figurines is painting 'em.
