MY FIRST WHIP

Post by MCINTOSH275 »

Hello...

This is the first whip I've bought just for display, it's a natural 10 foot kangaroo whip so made by the fantastic Giovanni Celeste, I have to admit I don't know anything about whips but this one looks wonderful...

Congrats, a gorgeous piece, MCINTOSH! Gio makes very beautiful whips, I do believe you've chosen wisely. :clap:

Also thanks for posting, it is nice to see some new posts around this section.

Cheers,

Congrats! Do you plant to use it sometime or is it for display pruposes only? It always hurts me a bit when whips don't get cracked :CR: They are just tools at the end of the day.

Just for display, I'm a bit clumsy and I wouldn't like to gouge out my eye :lol: ...

I can understand that! And also the desire to keep it pristine! :TOH:

Be careful, collecting gear is a slippery slope. :rolling:

I know, especially for the pocket...

And collecting props is too, my collection attests to that... :roll:

As I said, now go for the jacket and then go for some screen accuratte pants...

That sounds like a good plan! I also started with the jacket. (Not counting the paracord whips I made)... The came two hats, another jacket, a airsoft Webley, another two hats... And the list goes on and on... :rolling:

I have little clothing, I have the shirt, the felt hat, the whip, the bag, the gloves, the backpack...

What I do have are the accessories that are seen in the movies, the Grail, the Diary, the tablet, the Idol, the Crystall Skull etc etc etc...

That sounds really cool! Have you posted some pics already on C.O.W.?

So far I mostly collected the main gear... But I am starting to be interested in props as well. ](*,)
