    Hey lady, You call him Dr. Jones . . . . or what I did on my Christmas vacation

    Been working on this on and off but really got going during my Christmas Vaca. It is a part custom, part kit bash . . . . the figure started as the Castaway Indy from a few years back, replaced the head (thanks greenlantern9999), drimmeled the hat to fit, distressed the jacket & boots, added the PM AJ shoulder bag (thanks Boss) w/replaced strap, made the whip, machete and map. The Pedestal (I added the moss)and Idol came from Jason when I picked up the Indy figure. The box was from hobby lobby, removed the handle, added the rope handles, Indy insert and stencil, distressed and stained . . . . that's my story and I'm stickin' to it . . . . enjoy!

      Wow Jim, I'm really impressed. He came out great. The figure, add the extra pcs, and top it all off with that killer box to display it all in. Thats a HOMERUN for sure. I think we are looking at custom of the week here for sure.

              Looks incredible!!!
              The box is pretty sweet as well.
              Where did the brown jacket come from?

                            Missed this one originally, very nice, especially the presentation. A lot of hard work and thought went into that.
