Nailed it! Many thanks to Mike Fisher for the wired whip. It looks superb and finishes the figure off beautifully

Perfect. Absolutely great work. It turned out amazing.
First off, it looks great! Which head is that on the Last Crusade Indy?

That's an Inigou V2.
Not sure which head sculpt I am working for a friend off the board... but Lonnie's hat was a perfect fit... Its one of the customs that came out in the past two years.. Will post a photo shortly...
I see that there is some interest and also some concern regarding size. So in my travels in this universe I have probably cast a dozen different versions of Ford / Indy for myself, for toy companies as paint tests, for tests before production runs or for clients who make short runs to the collectors community. My point in mentioning that is that they are all subtly different in quality, likeness, scale, design for kit or model etc.
So with all that in mind, if the community at large here is looking for something that has not already been done and the numbers are sufficient to warrant it, I will be happy to oblige in putting it together. So I likely made the head you are mentioning but would need a quality reference shot to ensure I pull the right head from my vault as reference. Then to answer the overall question, yes I can shrink the original hat everyone loves to match the scale.

I understand there is some interest in my original Indy stuff. Specifically the fedoras.
Just to be clear, my normal services are mostly small custom runs of customer's unique original pieces. I do however still offer some of my own original pieces from time to time or as requested.
Regarding the Indy parts I have made several parts over the years. I have two different hats - a Raiders style and a TOD style. I also have the Idol, Grail cup and Grail Tablet. There is also three different versions of the head that were offered over the years.
If there is enough interest I will dust off the masters of the hat(s) and make fresh molds to ensure first gen quality and not re-cast or old worn out garbage.
I don't have a lot of time to spend on the boards but I will try to check back in when I can. If this gets 10 -15 serious interests then I will get things rolling for some stuff. You guys can poke Michael if I don't check back quick enough (Michael, I dub thee 'short term emissary' - or is that 'short round emissary').
Thanks

Finally got around to starting the paint on the Jnix sculpt.....got to say, I'm pretty impressed with it.
This is very much still just a work in progress, but there is certainly a decent Raiders Harrison likeness there.....
