Grin's Gear
Good eye, guys. The Webley is indeed real (see my post "Estate Sale Yields Genuine Webley") as is the WWI holster. The jacket is Wested with many a mile on it. I'll get a few more gear shots posted soon.

Grin's Gear
It ain't real gear if you don't get it dirty. My jacket's a well-traveled UK Wested, the fedora from the Texas Peters Brothers.
No worries, mate. My 12-plait kangahide Indy can take it (but it's just for effect. The whip's in no strain.)
Bernie Wojcicki of Tasmania handcrafted this work of art for me.
The flap holster is an original WWI Webley Officer's Model.
I rebuilt this 1917 Webley Mark VI .455 pistol with a lot of advice and help. Thanks to "Gringo", my gunsmith pal and another great Indy fan.
And...Oh, yeah, it shoots like a champ for nigh one hundred years old!
The bag strap and gunbelt are from Todd's, the web belt and gas mask bag military surplus. Finished out with Old Navy repro Pinks and a safari shirt from a local thrift shop.
Thanks to my daughter "Punkin'" for her camera work and the great photos (and for not having me committed).
I'm really looking forward to comparing notes and admiring other fans' gear.
Where is the most unusual place you located a piece of gear?
What's your most prized piece of Indy gear?
When and where do you wear your gear?
Have your loved ones written you off as some sort of lunatic yet?

Why, thank you!

VP, I do sometimes wish that you would be a little more tactful in your replies, but this is you I am dealing with after all.
Just because we aren't on COW, it doesn't give you the right to act like a jerk.
BTW, for your information, the fifth and sixth pictures were taken in Pennsylvania at Chewie's House just over a year ago, and the last one was taken about two years ago!
Also, I don't see pictures of you in your gear. In fact, I don't think that I have ever seen pictures of you in your gear.
Grinnanbearit, great shots, especially the one of you cracking the whip!

I don't have much taken and most of them are with brand new gear. Here's two <2 years old:Canyon said:Also, I don't see pictures of you in your gear. In fact, I don't think that I have ever seen pictures of you in your gear.

Re: Grin's Gear
You're correct, joebloggs. It is the lambskin version, and I personally highly recommend it. Glove leather soft and mine wears like iron. It scars easily (if that's your fancy) and everyday wear out in the elements will start showing those great "tiger stripes" in the creases and folds.
One caveat, however - Inspect it thoroughly inside and out when you receive it. A friend of mine found some missed stitching in his jacket's lining. Wested promptly corrected the fault on their own dime, but you don't want to dilly-dally in registering a complaint.
I also have a heavier bullhide jacket for motorcycle riding, but the Wested's still my favorite.

Hi guys from Argentina!!
Hi everyone! I'm Raul and I'm new here. I wanted to share with you some pictures of my Indy stuff. Except for the idol and the Lao Che's diamond the rest was made by myself. All comments are welcomed of course and I'll be more than happy to give you whatever tip you might need to make your own Indy artifact! In a couple of hours I'll be posting pictures of my gear too!!
The 3 1/6 scale items in the pictures are in my collection but they're in USA. My cousin bought them for me and I'm waiting for someone to travel to Argentina. I don't trust the postal service with sth so expensive. The headpiece is from the "noble collection site", the cross of coronado from Reel Art and the Nurhachis's urn from ebay, some guy in singapore.
Great to be here!!!
Oops! the question is how do I do to post pictures??

You got to find yourself a picture hosting site....
Personally, I use tinypic.com
Easy and fast.
Upload the picture, copy the IMG code, and paste it in your reply.
Looking forward to seeing your awesome props!

My props.
Thanks Doc!! Hope I did it right!
I've just finished the pedestal for the fertility idol. The central piece is a tupperware "in disguise" the rest is made of cardstock and sheets of rubber for the details. I texturized the whole thing with (and you can laugh all you want!!) a type of pasta/noodles we have here in Argentina to make soup. The grains are a little bigger than sand beach. Then I painted it.
Thanks again!

Francisco de Orellana's mask.
I still have to sand the whole thing and make what you can see on the cardstock. All opinions are welcome!!

PS: Sorry about the size of the other 2 pics. I'm still learning how to post them!

Some whp cracking and the truck (train?) scene...
My friend, outrunning the hovitos...
Back to the Future, part 3
Me with my travel fedora, my friend in his adventure gear, and me again, in a "Streets of Cairo" scene...
Hope you like them! It was really funny taking them!
