Have you ever wanted to be a pain in Indiana Jones' back?

Well, soon you'll be able to!:love:thumbsup

I've been working on and off on this for the past week and I'm almost finished. So far, I've got the front done, with only a few minor details and cleaning up to do.
Then I'll finish sculpting the back, which includes more jewels. A big oval diamond and a ruby on the top and bottom of the diamond.
I'll be casting this in pewter, adding the jewels (Swarovski Crystals) that you see, adding a thick long needle coming out the bottom, and then adding the black ostrich plumage coming out the top.

I know I said I was going to start working on other Indiana Jones props, but I was watching TOD the other night and forgot how amazing this prop was! So, I had to make it! Plus, I wanted to do something that hasn't been offered before. At least, I don't think it has...:confused

Anyways, here's what I have so far!:cool:thumbsup

Updated since last time I posted!
This went through a whole resculpt. So, here's the new updated version!
Enjoy!

Re: Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom Voodoo Pin!!!

Looks good so far. I can't remember but wasn't the pin a small blade?

No, it was a pin. This whole thing was actually jewel-encrusted hat pin that sat front and center on the Maharajah's sultans hat.

Very nice, look forward to updates. Here's a screencap I just made. Anyone have better pix of the actual prop?

Thanks guys!:)

I got a pretty good picture of the actual prop from someone over at the COW Indy forum. So, I'll be doing alot of changes to this sculpt. It turns out that the center skull is actually a monkey skull with fangs. It's hard to tell from the screencaps above and it being at an angle, but here it is.

Re: Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom Voodoo Pin!!!

I think I recognize those wings from a Harley Davidson pin that got stuck in my mother's tire 20 years ago. For years it was on my bulletin board and then in my desk. I'll have to look and see if I still have it.
 
Re: Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom Voodoo Pin!!!

I looked and couldn't find it. I think I remember finally tossing it out. Here is one I found online that is similar to it, except the detail is none too sharp. Though finding the picture below assures me that I'm onto something. You can even see the two points sticking out at the bottom from the pin on the Voodoo prop.

Re: Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom Voodoo Pin!!!

Sweet find Evan!:cool:thumbsup

I was wondering what the points were supposed to be. I couldn't tell if they're the feet of the bat/demon creature, a couple of claws, or just points....

It seems they may be just points!

Looking good man!!! Looking good!

I don't have any ref material available so I can't offer tweaks to the sculpt, but I can say it's a damned fine looking piece :thumbsup

Can't wait to see that puppy in metal!
