Hi All,
here's some quick snaps of a few Indy props I've made. One is a machette like the one Indy uses in TOD. I used a cheap "garden machette" from the hardware store ($10) and a strip of self adhesive car door edging to create the ridge along the back. A little sanding and some brown and gold paint for the handle and it was done... not perfect, but it was fun to make.
The other is a Toht hanger and hand-wound. These were for my halloween costume this year (melted Toht) Still don't have pics yet of me with the melted skull i made, but soon.
Anyhow, the hanger is wood dowels with hardware and the hand is cast latex.
Tom
BTW- i posted one pic and left the other as a link..just click to see!
