Since growing out a beard for my "Spanish Conquistador" impression of a soldier of the Hernando de Soto Expedition (second to last image) for programs I do at various regional parks and historical sites, I have started looking for fun "cosplay" costumes suited to the "new look". The first project was "The Hound" from Game of Thrones, and pondered doing Professor Henry Jones from the Indy franchise, as I have always been a great fan of the films, and have had a "Major Toht" impression for many years (last image). When I realized how close my horse resembled the one rode by Henry Jones in The Last Crusade, that clenched it. My friend and fellow RPFer, Glen, "Tambo" Jones, had started up an Indy Impression, and also has a horse, joined up with me for a little shoot, (though he is riding his wife's horse here as it looks more like Indy's as seen in the attached still from the film). With Covid and the cancellation of nearly all of the events this year, this was our only time in "costume" this year, though I did don my historical Zulu War uniform once this year, and Tambo did a WWII GI, this past weekend.
