Club Obi Wan

hello! new to the forum this week, but long time lurker! ok, so i did it. . . actually manufactured the duct tape bullwhip today for my 7yr old son! he loves it (anyone here remember when you had no bottom line standards for your gear!) had some extra tape left over and constructed an Indy holster for his cap gun! what can i say, it's not the greatest, but i'm a hero in my son's eyes (and i'll savor every moment of that, before i knonw it he'll be a teenager and look at me completely different!) and we had a blast making it. i thought it'd be neat to share with you guys . . . thanks!

Thats pretty slick, but dont stop now! Get some more duct tape and make him one of these to go with them...

now that's cool. . . . looks like i have a project for tomorrow

How'd you make that hat? I want one.

That's always fun to look at. It's amazing what many things duct tape can do!

Duct Tape is like the Force.
It has a Dark Side and a Light side
and it binds the universe together

I believe that hat was It was made by COW member 3thoubucks, several years ago

I always thought it was pretty neat. It would go great with your sons Whip and gunbelt.

I hate to say this....but that tape hat looks pretty good. Wish I would have thought of that.

Try this for a better holster:

If the whip breakes, how do you fix it?

Very neat, I love that kinda stuff!

You laugh, but the last @#$% cow hide tourist whips I had as a kid survived into college, where I had to use duct tape to hold it together the last few years of its life.

That stuff is awesome---The hat absolutely kills me....it's made out of Duct tape, and it STILL looks better than my first hat.....!

cool, thanks! that would have made it a bit easier

Your son is definately going to remember this. I still rememeber when my dad would help me put together Indy costumes and Luke Skywalker costumes. You never forget those times. And that tape hat... ...I would rather wear that than a Dorfman Pacific! That is great.

That's great!
It's waterproof and will never taper.

there ought to be a tutorial for that on the indygear fedora page.

How big should this plot at??

i saved the full-size image when it was first posted, check your PM inbox.

I think you have to scale the sheet model to a kid (gun) size.
