I know a lot of people out there make their own Indiana Jones props, but has anyone here made the wooden crate from Raiders? I'm not much of a sculptor or illustrator but I do have woodworking skills so I was thinking of making a crate and then painting on the eagle/swastika and "property of the German Army" in German or whatever it says. I think it would make a neat table! Or you could pppput it in the back of your truck and drive around waiting for the Germans to chase you! If you don't like "Nazi" crates then I suppose you could then burn off the letters with a torch or make the one from the very end of the movie with "Army Intel Do Not Open" painted on it. That would also make a great conversation piece! I just need the dimensions...
Cheers,
