indyclone25's indy themed backyard area

hello folks,
my wife gave me a corner of her garden to do a Indiana Jones themed set.
after working on it for about 3 weeks we finished on father's day
( we still need moss for the idol altar) but i think it looks cool , let me know what you think
what the yard section looked like at first

then with some plants and tiki lights ( solar powered --- from kmart)

then with some cement to make a patway with cement stencil

i chimeara ( hope i spelled that right) and added some plants inside the mouth

then i bought some bamboo furniture and bamboo stick and fencing


and then making masks from a kit sold at kmart to hang on the fence with planters behind to make it look cool


then some more add ons , and old trash can filled with expanding foam to make it look like rock and spray paint



and ta, da!!! finished ( except for moss on the altar)!!

I love it!

it was a labor of love , lol but i like it and i can't wait to have my friends over on the 4th of july and have them see it up close ....

I wonder what it will do if you replace a sand bag for the idol????Hum?????

Nice. Just curious, does he know of or enjoy Indy? My sons are 4 and 9 months. The 4 year old is already growing fond of Indy via Lego Indiana Jones video games, and the sound track which I play in my car all the time. (he can even hum the main theme! )

He's seen parts of LC and KOTCS, but I'm looking forward to when I can sit with him and show him all 4.

well he has a screename here--- indyclonejr.
but he rarely leaves any notes, he likes the movie and has all the gear, but it is a toss up between his movie making and film reviews he does on youtube ...

...and the ladies.

Mark, that is damned cool! I decked out my rooftop patio with fern plants and oil-burning tiki lamps to create a jungle vibe but you've gone above & beyond that. Way to go!

You should mount a flashlight to point down onto your stone path, replicating the beam of the light trap! Show it off at night during night-time BBQs!

Wow!!!

hi folks i have finished it off with moss .........
check it out!!!

Awesome!!

I was hoping for a wide shot like the latest you posted.



For this planter, all you need are some necklaces made out of fingers. I don't know if your wife would go for that, though...

Goodeknight, that is an excellent idea! Do it, Mark!

Anyway, the moss is a nice touch and the whole thing looks freaking fantastic.
