One of the few birthday gifts my wife gave me today. Hopefully it’s good. Either way it’s Indy and zombies so it’s gotta be at least a little fun. Perfect time of the year to read it too.

I added a leather jacket feels more Indy. I just hope it’s not hot on Halloween!

For some reason Kenner Toht is included within their horror figure display rather than in the diorama featuring the other Indy action figures xD but I noticed him immediately! He also didn’t photograph well so I got several of that. They also have a huge replica Ark and a Temple of Doom poster

They do not advertise the Indy stuff online if I recall correctly, I actually came to this place because it intersects with another interest of mine, they have vintage Chuck E. Cheese animatronics on display, but seeing Indy merch featured in this place was an unexpected delight! I recommend this place if you like seeing vintage movie memorabilia, merchandise, and old curiosities and Knick knacks! And much much more. These are the only Indy related things I saw there but it was so worth it!

This all started as a project to update one of those cheap replica diaries that can be found online (via Amazon, AliExpress, etc.). I originally wanted to just weather the diary pages, maybe replace the faux leather cover with a real one, and improve some of the inserts. I ended up improving the cheap replica well enough so my son could use it for his Indy Halloween costume. But ultimately, I wanted to make a better replica.

After finding an Etsy source for Grail Diary pages as printable signatures, I printed and trimmed all of the pages and weathered them with coffee. I did some very rudimentary book binding to prepare all of the signatures, glued the spine, then hand-made a leather cover.

I think the key to really selling this is with the inserts. Using different types of paper to make the inserts goes a long way. I several different types of paper, including mulberry paper (for the money), newsprint, linen paper, card stock (for photos) etc. I was happy to find that my printer could handle even flimsy newsprint.

I've spent a couple of hours last night aging the cover, and hopefully I'm not going overboard with it.

I love some of the not-well-thought out parts of this game. Any other game would replace Gina with Pailin or a random villager for the period she’s kidnapped. Not this one!

I'm not looking for a replica Grail diary, just a softcover notebook of the similar size and shape. The cover can be faux or real leather, with blank pages. I'd also prefer a blank cover without "Notes" or words on it.

Eyeballing the prop diary's dimensions, they're about 4 x 7 inches, I think.

I haven't found a softcover journal with those dimensions with a plain book cover. Most of them have cover flaps, string ties, or locks.

TIA

How do I get the front of the fedora to bend down more if it’s wool ?

Ever since I was little I wanted to be Indy but couldn’t afford it. This year I’m going as Indiana Jones. This has been a childhood dream.

Hey everyone, Raymond here, the developer of Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel. Indiana Jones is a big part of why I wanted to make this. That feeling of heading into a tomb, knowing perfectly well it is a terrible idea, and going anyway.

Since releasing in Early Access I've been working away on fixes, improvements and additions. The loot update is live with 42 new items and three extra equipment slots. There's also a new pyramid entrance, a dungeon return portal and lighting improvements. I'm trying to make this adventure better with every update, and feedback from players has been a huge help.

It's currently 30% off on Steam until 31 October. If you've seen my earlier posts and were curious, there's a free demo as well. This is my own adventure, with cursed WWII-era Egypt, undead and an Adventurer who probably should have stayed home. Here's the full trailer.

Find the vessel. Save the world. Hope you'll join us!

I'm in the market to get a raiders fedora and after showing it to my wife she made a comment that the hat is rather tall. For those who have bought one from advintage have you noticed it looking odd on yourself? Does the hat look a bit funny if you are on the shorter end at around 5'7? The wife does not want to be seen with me in public wearing this hat because of how ridiculous she says the proportions look.

Paid $135 plus shipping. Good price? Bad price? About right?

There's only 1 part where i HAD to kill a few enemies in order to get the chain to swing across, im not sure if any bad guys died in the explosion when i blew open the drain

I’m starting with a used Wested raiders jacket, Alden 405’s, What Price Glory repro satchel, and a hodgepodge of found items. My hat is a 1989 promotional last Crusade fedora a friend who works at ILM gave to me years ago. As much as I like it as a collectible, I wanna get a real hat. Any tips or pointers from the hardcores and casuals? honestly, the biggest thing I feel I need to do is work out!

Golden Fertility Idol I’ve been working on these past couple years. I 3D modeled this based off of the “Hero” version with glass eyes made from fiberglass seen at the beginning of Raiders. I made this one on my resin printer and hand painted with a gold-tinted clear coat for the mirror gold look.

I 3D modeled a bracket to hold the micro controller board, on/off switch, RC module for remote control operation, and the servo and all of the electronic components are powered by a 9 volt battery. The sweeping eye motion is a script I programmed in the microcontroller to mimic the idol’s eyes as it follows Indy’s movements as he avoids the floor traps. Very happy with how this turned out

So far i've done every level in Ceylon and Prague

for the most part they were both able to be done without hurting/killing any enemies except for:

(in Ceylon) the three ivory hunters in the ruins with the three high pillars that you jump across

all three enemies must be defeated in order for the stone door to slide open

(in prague) the final boss which has to be defeated in order to move onto instanbul

I'm currently working on instanbul, so far the first three turkish guards must be defeated in order for the gate to open, after that the turkish guards with machine guns can be passed without hurting/killing them but it can be difficult

Lament configuration/box of LeMarchand from Hellraiser franchise. I feel like Indy would not have a goodtime with the cenobites.

Dropping artifacts is probably fine right?

Cooper plays the Robert Jordan in the 1943 movie adaptation of the Hemingway fictionalised Spanish civil war romantic drama For Whom the Bell Tolls.A great book turned into an OK movie. Hemingway was delighted with Cooper but disappointed with the Hollywood treatment of his work.

I am very interested in history and especially 20th century history. And while playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle it just crossed my mind how many generals they seemed to have sent to this particular expedition in Gizeh, Egypt... I have counted at least ten walking around by themselves or in the camps. I guess they had a bunch of generals to spare, apparently.

I actually don't like how they portray the officers who can raise alarms. Indy calls him "captain", just like in Rome, but this is far from anything of a captain.

A general in pseudo-parade gear out in the scorching desert?! And the Knight's Crosses the generals have didn't even exist in 1937.

A fantastic game, but this is very historically inaccurate!
