Your Figures In Action! (with PICS!)

[Luke Sprywalker]

Jack - nice story line again and great action shots.

Kevin - haha yea, my son was joking me the other day when I was looking through some parts saying who has a bag of coats and capes? I said everyone needs a bag full or they are not doin' it. I looked at some of my figures today and the lower arms are Captain Antillies.

[JackBurton]

Thank you all for the kind words. Here is the next part of the story. Enjoy.

Indiana Jones and the Claw of Lucifer (Part 4)

After hiding in the woods, Indy witness the preparation for leaving.
The General lied, the dagger is still here. Indiana needs to get closer.

He sneaks to the truck and listens.
General "We need to leave now, every minute counts"
Leaving, where? Why so fast? Indy ponders.
The soldiers coming back...
[IMG][/IMG]

Indy hides in the crate.
[IMG][/IMG]

Soldier "Come on, let's get this on the truck.It's the last one"
[IMG][/IMG]

The Soldiers loads the Jones Crate on the truck. The engine starts and the vehicle leaves.
[IMG][/IMG]

After several hours in the crate the journey ends. Indy knews that the truck was loaded on a plane and the flight had lasted a couple of hours. Literally, he could be everywhere. He opens the crate. Hot air fills his lungs and bright light hurts his eyes. Indy quickly exits the crate. Jungle, all around him. He hears the soldiers. Indy climbs out of the truck and hides in the jungle.
[[IMG][/IMG]

The Nazis leave the truck on a small path through the jungle.
Indy follows them. After an hour the trek stops and the General and his soldiers disappear in the ground. Only one guard is left.
[IMG][/IMG]

With a fast move Indy knocks the guard out.
[IMG][/IMG]

He continues his way to discover the place where the soldiers disappear.
[IMG][/IMG]

A hatch in the ground.
[IMG][/IMG]

He kneels down and open the heavy door.
[IMG][/IMG]

Carefully Indy enters the hatch.

Indy's in the hatch! The Dharma Swan station!

Is he going to meet Desmond? Will he have to keep pushing the button?!

Can't wait to see the final chapter!

[Lance Quazar]

Cool scene, VF Wing!

What is that warehouse made from??

Looking great!

[vf wing]

It's from a modular building set from a company called Eversparkle. Really more targeted for the Joe crowd. They were out a few years ago, but it might be difficult finding one now. I was fortunate to snag four of 'em!

[Errex]

Well, Chris Church, that's a very nice display you have there. What line is the camel you have there from?. Seems to work really well for Indy.

[vf wing]

The camel is from a line usually known as Power Team Elite. Another Joe "knockoff" brand whose figures are in some ways superior to GI Joes in terms of poseability, and that's even counting the 25ths. They make a wealth of highly realistic vehicles and accessories and, even though their prices edged up a little last year (along with everybody else's), they are extremely affordable.

They tend to keep most of the same items available from year to year. The best way to snag 'em is from a Big Lots after they reset the toy department for Christmas. A camel set with rider and accessories can be had for around $3!!

I have that camel, as well. Bought it on-line for what I thought was the fair price of $10. It arrived at my house with the Big Lots $3 sticker still on it!

But, yeah, PTE is generally very cheap for what you get.

[Lance Quazar]

double post...how'd that happen?

[vf wing]

Indy's far, far away journey soon leads him to his goal...

[Dark Horse]

Here's a few dio shots I took -








"Again, Dr. Jones - we see there is nothing you can possess that I cannot take away...."

[Dark Horse]

Ooops! - forgot one -

Where'd this jalopy come from? It looks like something based on DaVinci's airplane designs, which would fit perfectly into Indy's world.

[Spalkomania]

Awesome Belloqs.

[Lance Quazar]

Dark Horse,

I remember seeing many of these pics at rebelscum a while back. Always loved your suit Belloq and the dio/display is terrific!

I remember we had a difference of opinion about the coloring of the jungle Belloq. I think it should be tan all around, but it's still a super custom.

Wow, that airplane is a steampunk masterpiece!!! Please tell how you made it.

I hope it's connected to your other snowbound ideas and that we get to see your story soon!

Keep up the great work!

[Dark Horse]

Thanks fellas. The plane thing is from Chap Mei's adventure heroes line (Indy rip-off), and will play a part in my Indy dio.

[Kooshmeister]

At present, these are my only Indy Legos although I'm looking into getting the Shanghai Chase set. Anyway I did this little re-creation of the truck chase:







"Hey, come back! Nobody likes me..." *Sniff*







"I told you not to drive on the side of the road bordering a giant chasm....but nooooooooooooooo..."
"Aw, shaddup."

[Lambonius]

Nice. That's the one Indy Lego set that I just can't seem to find in my area, and the only original trilogy set left that I need (till all the friggin' SWEET summer sets!!) I'll be going out of town to visit my parents in two weeks or so, so maybe the stores there will be more yielding.

[Kooshmeister]

Crunched like all heck to do the Hasbro version of my still-life Raiders truck chase, so here it is! Well, the first part of it anyway!



Indy surveys the Nazi convoy on the move.





Indy rides down, jumps onto the truck, and overtakes the passenger, booting 'im out.



Relieving the driver of his duty.



The Sergeant realizes something is amiss.

[Kooshmeister]

Indy slams the brakes and Gobler rear-ends the truck, gaining a new hood ornament.




Indy bashes Gobler off the road, and he loses his gunner.





The Sergeant's men climb out onto the sides, the sneaky little boogers.



But Indy shakes them all off!

[Rhys135]

Awesome! I love how your bed spread also double's as scenery

[Kooshmeister]

Gobler and friend meet the fate we all knew was coming.




After that, the last of the Sergeant's men attempts to retake the truck, but fails.



"If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself!"

[Kooshmeister]

Indy hits the brakes, sending the Sarge flying over the hood!


Whump-whump-whump!




Indy claims the prize!

[Dark Horse]

Haha! Great stuff!!
