Club Obi Wan

Hello Everyone!

Before starting, I would like to request a service from Adminitrator. I need to put many pictures to explain my méthode, i would like to know if is correct for you, thank for your comprehension.

Just to clarify some things, i would like to show you my 9 favorites and importants pictures that i watch since 2 years to create my Hat blocks. To create my hat block, i didn't use the SOC pictures because on SOC scene, the hat is too damaging. I use the SOC pictures when my hat is finish and when i'm ready to make the SOC modification, never before. The sequence more important for me in Raiders is when Marion mounts on the back of Indy in Well of Souls, this scene is awesome for me.

Look these pictures and you understand that i create my block with the Peruvian Temple pictures, Well of Souls pictures and Raven Bar Pictures because the hat was almost a new condition in these scenes. Also, it's for this reason that my block has the best shape for the Temple version and this block is my own creation.












NOTE IMPORTANT: I'm 100% sure that the hat is the same in the 6 principal scenes, The interior of Peruvian Temple, Well of Souls, Raven Bar, Flying Wing, Truck Chase and for the Cairo. For the famous hat in the exterior of the Peruvian Temple, I'm sure that Richard Swale use the same block to built this hat, it's just Deborah who shape the hat differently and i'm realy sure of this detail.

Look the part 2 but is locked. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=44477

As the saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding." Though I appreciate seeing screen shots showing the research that went into making your blocks and hats, as far as I'm concerned, one look at one of your hats is enough for me to know that you have done your homework and have created the perfect SOC hat. I've known this since I first saw one of your hats.

Your hats are "spot on," as so many of us have shared on your posts.

Just sit back and let your work speak for itself. Actually, let your work scream for itself...INDY!!!!!

Michael

WOW! Thanks Michael! Your post encourage me because i'm discourage a little bit since tuesday. I felt obliged to justify myself and it's very hard for me because, i worked so hard since more two years. This passion (obsession) is often to pass before my daughter and my wife, Incredible but it's true. I wonder if it really was worth the trouble.

I'm very happy by your message.

Jason

To Michael:

(Michael, today is my "catch up with C.O.W. posts from the past week" day and I've only just now seen this Thread (and it's other half) from fedoraiders!
You've said EXACTLY what I was about to write but you BEAT me to it! So, please consider this post from me to be my version of "That goes DOUBLE for me!"


Jason,
First of all:

And second:
I know that you already know that Michael is a smart guy, but please also know that whether he meant to or not, he doesn't just speak for himself, or for me, but rather he speaks for a WHOLE LOT of us Hardcore SoC Fedora Fans when he writes those words above.
So for whatever it's worth, I want you to know that standing behind Michael (and echoing what he's saying) is myself and a big gang of Raiders Fans cheering you on and looking forward to seeing some of those amazing lids of yours sitting on the heads of some of your enthusiastic Fans!

All the Best, mon bon ami.

Hello Micheal and Mitch!

I think that the height of the person is not realy important if the height is standard, EX: 5' 5" to 6' approximately, but when the guy is 6' 4" or 6' 2" like you, i'm sure that becomes a important detail. The brim and the crown size can vari from 1/8 or 3/16, maybe 1/4 for the crown. It's a little detail but 1/8 or 1/4 on the crown is important for a good look.

For the pleasure, look the difference between me and Harrison Ford on this video to the Museum of Mme Thuseaud.
It's in 2008 for a travel in New-York. On this video, it's my first cheaper hat that i bought for 40$ on ebay. I was afraid to lose my another hats in New-York. Big surprise, this city is realy realy securitary and it's a very beatiful city. I love New-York and for my next travel, I will wore my HJ SOC and i will put on the head from Harrison.

For the first time on the all forums, i talk about this. For 1 year, i looked up to find the information about what happened with the hat during the shooting in the summer of 1980. I think that you (Fans) would be surprised by little informations and anecdotes that i was able to obtain about this famous hat. It's not the very big informations but for me, this information is extremely important and i beleive that i'm one of the only people to have as much informations. With my "Precious" and this information, i beleive that it's the perfect match.

The Precious is the name that i give at my hat block like the ring by Gollum, lol.

For your information, i have never talk to Richard Swale even if i had succeded to obtain her location but since, I think he is dies, sorry.

I hope that you understand that I will not tell this infos by respect for my work that i accomplished and by the many phone bills. But i will share this info through my hats.

I have 2 others missons impossible to accomplish and after my quest will finished.

I hope that i'm not pretencious with this post because i don't want this. I'm just a fan obssessed by this hat and as George McFly says in Back to the Future " like i have always told you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything". I love this sentence and i use this sentence often. I encourage everyone who has a passion.

Thank you very much and Merry Christmas everyone!

Jason (Gollum, George McFly or Ethan Hunt) lol

even though I am obsessed (in a healthy way) I speak for myself thank you very much.
