Club Obi Wan

I'm not a super fan of Temple gear allthough it has it's magic. I am mainly a LC guy but while I am upgrading the Last crusade gear I thought I might try out the temple look with what I got.

EDIT

Looks pretty good so far...

I'll be doing Temple of Doom Indy later this month, so I'll share pics then

Here is my "Bridge Scene" Indy... I've upgraded my gear since and will be sporting it at the end of the month at a convention. Will post pics of the upgraded gear at that time.

Hat: S&J Temple of Doom
Shirt: Azuma Temple of Doom
Pants: Todd's
Boots (not pictured) Alden 405s
Whip: David Morgan
Gun belt: Wade Egan
Holster: Original Webley .455
Bag strap: Wade Egan



And here is my "Indy entering the village for the first time" gear (and yes, I know Indy doesn't wear a wedding ring... until Crystal Skull )


Hat: Penman Temple of Doom
Shirt: NH
Pants: Todd's
Boots (not pictured) Alden 405s

Don't worry, Knibs, yours is getting there, too.

Mine is 98% there. I've since switched hats and jackets

Yes, Chris!

The location is extremly cool for doing temple shots! Very India like. I went back and took a few more photos when the sun had turned abit later that day.

Here they are.

EDIT


Sankara THIS Mola Ram!

Gotta say Holt I think the street fighter pose is pretty hilarious. HADOKEN!

Yeah, knibs, it's going to be tough to top that last photo - WITH Short Round! We can't hold a candle to that.

knibs for the win!

The last photo doesn't count. Short Round is not Screen accurate anymore. You should have photoshopped him too knibs!

Just photoshop the NY Mets cap on him and it's all good.

Believe me, if my photoshopping skills were that good I would totally do it

Don't worry! Here is your missing 2% screen acurrate gear..

Enjoy your temple side kick!

Reminds me of Han from 2 Broke Girls!

MOD EDIT: Since we had two TOD gear threads running simultaneously, I merged them and edited a few posts for clarity and to keep things tidy.

Let's bring on the TOD love!

Knibs I am digging that S&J bridge scene fedora. Looks great. I like it alot more than the one in the picture with Short Round. The other one just looks a bit big. That bridge scene one though, thats the ticket!

Thanks, Chris. Ya I thought it was too big as well, so I got another Penman and it fits a lot better. Will be posting pics later this month

I don't know why but this picture looks so natural!!!

That's because I am very skilled in photoshop

My dear holy mola ram!

That picture is priceless!


On the TOD note though.... through the years, I've grown an affinity for the movie and the gear. I've read alot of the pulp magazines from the day and just finished off all of the Solomon Kane stories.... and personally, TOD is closer to the adventurer in the jungle with a native side kick kinda feel. Danger of "cannibalism" from savages, etc. I like it more and more. The gear still looks like gear and less like a costume which I feel that later movies turned it into a costume.

All that being said, I'm curious. How is Wested's Temple of Doom offer? I know they'll never do a "Hero" version of TOD or LC. So, does the TOD offer require much customization?

Holt wrote:That's because I am very skilled in photoshop

And modest, too!

Haha..

Almost like saying I got 98% accurate gear

I rest my case.

Holt wrote:Haha..

Not any worse than having a thread dedicated to my screen accuracy

yes, it's different!

That's why I said ''screen accurate'' in the subject title.

And I allways say. ''what do YOU think'' ''what can be improved''? opinions? etc...

It's a wee bit different to I got 98% accurate gear. lol.

I think we're all afflicted with screen-accurate OCD. "Well... my LC gear is 99.85% accurate to this scene, if you pause the Blu-ray while the shadows fall on Indy from this angle and the sunlight hits the crown of his hat just so... but you really have to squint your eyes. There. Do you see it now? I *told* you I'm screen-accurate! And best of all, I only spent 1/3 of my retirement savings to get there!" Harrison would be so proud of us.

I kind of believe that the Temple hat had some scenes where the pinch was a tight almost Raiders style pinch. For instance, the scene where Indy returns the rock to the village, the hat and brim have a more or less Raiders look. And the black and white photograph above has a somewhat raiders pinch. It's either that or the lighting.

Didn't I mention the lighting?

Yup I guess you did. But still, I think the pinches on some versions of the ToD hats could be a little bit tighter...

I'm not the biggest TOD fan out there, but all of you guys do the ensemble justice!

Here is my Temple of Doom rope bridge gear at Dallas Fan Expo this weekend.

I had to take a trip to "India"

Awesome work Knibs! I especially like the hostage shot. You put that other Indy to shame.

Tell me, were you hesitant at first to modify the shirt? I would be!

Great stuff Knibs.

Who is the girl in the green and red?

I was going to head up to Dallas, but the weather and flooding made me stay here in Houston, how was the travel?

Why that hat? I thought the SJ hat rocked!

Looks like your crease got pushed up a bit.

Not only that it looks like you ordered one size too big!

Ya, I still feel like it's a bit too big. The sizing is fine bc if I had it any smaller I would probably get a headache. So... any suggestions?

Thanks, Chris! I was hesitant at first, but I knew I had 2 backup Temple shirts in case I messed up, so that made it a little easier

Suggestions? Yeah, different hat!


Did you sew the shirt opening to hold open? Looks like you did!

I forgot to show the back of the bridge scene shirt...



And one up-close... kinda

Didn't have to... my bag was pretty weighed down with wallet, cell phone, Sankara stone (for the most part)

Awesome whip marks. To be honest I never even thought about that. Well done.

I think that's the best aging work I've ever seen on a bag strap. Looks like you've really been fighting Mola Ram hanging on that bridge. The jacket is awsome, too. And Holt's holster's distressing is amazing, too.

Thanks so much! My bag strap is my favorite piece of gear, aside from my whips.

I was out on the river this weekend and it had a Temple of Doom feel to it, so it thought I'd get a few pics in my gear. (Sorry for the large sizes, but photo bucket has a tendency to be blurry if they're too small)







"Retrieving the whip"

Great pictures!
The whip shot by the river is perfect!
Congrats.-

That 3rd pic looks exactly like the part of the river they were drifting along when the Mayapore shaman began trailing the raft.

WILLIE: "Oh, where are we, anyway?"
INDY: (spots shaman) "India."

Indeed, nice to see the gear out in the field.
