Well, I WAS going to use my GIJoe Bomber Jacket, but as with my old Darth Vader, the "leather" is peeling away.
I have some leftover fake leather from when I made my Anakin Skywalker costume for Episode 3. I used the Joe Jacket as a pattern to base the pieces for the Mutt Jacket on.
The back of the Jacket is (more or less) done and one side is also. I need to finish the other side and then I will get started on the sleeves. I will probably add or BS some kind of Pockets, but I'm undecided for now... I need to see more pics of his jacket from the film.
So far I've ordered the grail diary, bought the GG crate paperweight (with a Crystal Skull) and filled it with the idol, diamond, staff of Ra headpiece, Grail tablet, Nurhachi and chalice of Kali relics from the 3 3/4" line. SSC will have a better idol and sandbag and the Medicom Indy will have the grail and Sankara stone. That should be enough.
I really hope SSC will do an accessories pack that would include the ark and many other artifacts from the films. Since the idol isn't the exclusive it could also be included with the set.
A superior Grail Diary to the one that people have been ordering from Daryl Williams (I presume that's the one doesitmatter was talking about)?? I highly doubt it. From what I've seen and heard it would be almost impossible to get better than that.
I know Sideshow make some good products, but they don't always hit a home run. As for Sankara stones, they'll probably sculpt superior ones and then paint the sculpt beyond recognition (if 12" Indy is anything to go by...)
