Aaah...Malta!
"Finally made it to Malta. This is where that crazy swan dropped me off! Inside the ruins of an old church."
"Now I just need to find my hotel..."
Another tricky thing is keeping your hand out of the frame. Looking forward to your next attempts...
P.S. I'm also following your cue and putting Indy's quips in italics.
@Billy Ray: That's good news! I'm sure you'll let know us know as soon as Indy arrives. Can't wait!

Holding him at arm's length is the best solution for the hand-held shots if there's no place for the figure to stand. My biggest fear was dropping Indy in a place where he would've been impossible to retrieve. The chances of losing him were too numerous to count!Le Saboteur said:

You can use him as bait! One of you Bay Area guys HAS to get a photo of Indy with all those stinky seals that hang out at one of the wharves! (Is it Fisherman's Wharf?)Le Saboteur said:

Jeremiah - it's not too late at all. Indy will be returning to me in the UK (Devon) before being installed in The Ravenwood Museum at the end of his journey (likely sometime early next year). If you don't mind being near the bottom of the list, we'd be pleased to have you on board - let me know ASAP...

"The Malta Heritage Society said they'd have a choice of cars waiting for me at the hotel but I didn't expect these! I'll take the 1st one, a 1946 Chevy Fleetline Sportmaster Sedan...and I even like the color!"
"This is the view from my hotel, The Grand Excelsior. Not too bad. Time to explore the town before I make my way to the fort..."
(For some non-Indy pictures, check out the Malta thread. Only a few there but I may post more.)
@Inky: No apologies necessary. Thanks for chiming in and looking forward to the updated map.

Oh, Jeremiah, the museum is an excellent idea. Get a shot of Indy with the CRYSTAL SKULL!Jeremiah Jones said:
Thanks, Lance but they're about to get worse. The Malta pics are back to Fuzzy Indy and a bit anti-climactic. I'm trying to pick out the best shots. Things improve on the final Swiss leg, though!Lance Quazar said:

Is that a 1934 FORD at the far left?

How about Tilbury Docks (doubled for Venice in the Last Crusade boat chase). Or does Herbert Johnsons still exist somewhere in the city ?

They sell em at a certain store that is now on Indy's itinerary!

More Malta with Mini-ana Jones
"I'm about to enter the city gate to Valetta but want to take a closer look at these ramparts first."
(Good photo opportunity missed here. Seeing it now, I could've had Indy petting or feeding the horse.)
"Valetta is on a peninsula with Fort Saint Elmo at the tip. The city and its surrounding area is fortified by ramparts, built in the late 1500s after The Great Siege of Malta. Look at the size of that thing!"
Very mysterious...
@Billy Ray: It's been a week since Le Saboteur mailed the figure. Hopefully, you'll receive it in a couple of days. Can you see the pics now with your new setup?

It does resemble a mid-30s FORD but it's something else. The front end is quite different (bumper, fenders and especially the grille). Frankly, I don't know what it is.Rocket Surgeon said:

As you know, Indy & Remy are there at the very beginning of the London episode.Jeremiah Jones said:Yeah, its no problem at all being at the bottom of the list, Crystal Skull, Henry Snrs house, what else Indy related is in London... hmm.

"The main street of Valetta, Triq Ir-Repubblika (Republic Street). You can barely see the city gate in the background. I've gotta find a shop that has a decent map. The one the hotel provided doesn't cover a very large area. Now...is it me or does that fellow in the brown shirt have a big head?"
"Fort St. Angelo, across the Grand Harbour from Valetta. This was the main site of one of the most ferocious & bloodiest battles in history, the Siege of Malta in 1565. Greatly outnumbered, the KnightS of Malta (along with help from Spanish army and the Maltese people) held off the invading Turks for 4 months. We're talking about 7,500 against possibly 40,000 and they won!"
@XanaduMel: Since inky_skin will be away this week, I'll just let you know that the figure will not likely be returning to the UK this summer. The projection is that he'll make it back to the British Isles late in the year or early 2011.
@Billy Ray: Good that you can now see the pics. I know you can't leave the base but are you anywhere near the Khyber Pass?

I have to say how great this is...we're sending Indy on a new adventure! Now if we could think up some type of narrative to link it all together, (like Stoo is already doing).
If we do, I would say Indy's adventures and misadventures, if only to get to a job interview (or a class on time!) at the Ravenwood Museum could be entertaining. Just so we all have one recurring thought at each of his destinations...
Interactive Indy Adventure indeed!
