Indiana Jones Display *Inexpensive*

[smurf]

I just want to show off my Indiana Jones display. I'm a little light on the props just yet. I still have to finish up my Jmtwo Grail Tablet. I had this idea and I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet. It came out better than I could have imagined. It is great in many ways. It is inexpensive, looks great, and it stores other junk that is cluttering up my home theater, like toys. I think I'll build a couple of smaller ones that will work as toy boxes just to clear up some more junk. This was fun to put together.

That's great!

That is soooooo slick! Well done.

Thanks. This was such a fun project and it only took about 4 hours to put together. I did have to figure out all the overlaps before hand just so I didn't waste any wood.

I love it.

I've been DYING to make a very similar display myself (I've even been looking for box sources..perhaps building is my only option... :lol).

Again, very cool!

In my opinion, that is precisely how any Indy collection should be displayed.......nice job indeed!!!

Very nice indeed. Now if you could only supply some plans or blueprints with dimensions for the rest of us, that would be awesome!

Looks really cool! I wonder how many visitors will ask "What's in the box?"

The Idol is a Bluefive Idol. It was was one of the first, so I had to modify the mouth myself with a little bondo. I'm pretty happy with it. I used the Krylon Premium 18K Gold Plate. I wanted the Gold Foil but I couldn't find it anywhere local. The hat is an Akubra Federation. They recently used a new block which looks much better than my hat. It is now a Federation IV I believe. I got it from Hatsdirect.com.

I'll try to make some instructions for what I did. It is very simple. I just hope I don't make it complicated when I explain it. I'll work on it.

Thanks for all the kind comments.

That looks great!
You could probably build one out of recyled pallets for free, and keep it green.

Hey good idea. I can cover 2 movies with one prop. It will also be a good gag joke when people open the box. Might give my kids nightmares.:unsure

Sweet.

The box currently is holding a steering wheel for my PS2, Dance Dance Revoltion Box, and an EyeClops toy. I still have more room in there for a head.
