Your Indiana Jones Displays - Lets see 'em

[cjunco1937]

OasisSupernova - a suggestion for your consideration: as this is coming together as a great "found objects" or "personal memento" display, you might consider displaying them in the order the events occurred in Indy's timeline, meaning TOD first (1935) followed by Raiders (1936). Just a thought, keep up the great work!

Cool idea

Thank you! I thought about it, but considered i would have to start answering questions as to why from my family members. Lol. It did cross my mind though. Great minds think a like.

Lol. Thats the only bad thing. I have no idea who made what. But hopefully everybody notices their work, and that I greatly appreciate it!

Looks great. Tracing in the middle turned out looking real good.

I added Magnoli’s new Short Round hat and Brenton’s bronze headpiece so I figured I would post some new pictures.

I know it’s not screen accurate, but most of the old bronze I’ve seen is dulled or darkened, so since I had a shiny gold plated headpiece, I customized the new one a bit. I can always polish it back up if I wanted to.

Looks awesome. Nice touch with the bronze. And wow did you get that hat quick! Still trying to track down mine that I ordered 10 days ago. Anyway looks great. What makers are the fedora and whip if you don’t mind my asking? Always curious.

Thanks!

The hat was made by AdventureBilt. The whip was made by David Morgan, but I believe his son Will braided this particular one.

Very cool. I have my David Morgan (I think also braided by his son) in a similar setup beneath one of my Raiders hats.

May I ask where you got the Cross stand please.

Looking great
There are plenty of KOTCS paper available

It’s actually a lightsaber display stand I purchased off Etsy. The seller and his shop are closed, but I should have an extra around here if you are interested. Just shoot me a PM,

Here is a similar one. It just doesn’t have the top part bent forward.

Just finished my indiana jones display. The pearl harbor newspaper sets the display in 1942 so after last crusade and before crystal skull. Everything is authentic from the 1910-1941 period. All documents, letters, books, are authentic from the period as well as the newspapers. No reproductions. Books are relevant to what an archaeologist would have-one on Ancient Rome, one on South American archaeology,etc. The poison dart gun is a real blowgun from the Yachua tribe in Peru complete with piranha mandible decoration. The desk is a 1930's teachers desk and the suitcase is from a professor in Oregon who traveled to Europe in the 1920's so the decals on the suitcase are authentic. Everything other than the props are real and from the time period including the type writer, microscope, flashlight, tools, telegraph, etc. Only exception is the compass which is a repro while i wait for the antique one to show up.. Unfortunately most of the props like the Sankara stones, eye of the peacock diamond, etc. are in the drawers. I didn't want it just to be just looked at from a distance like most displays. I wanted people to be able to explore it and discover things. There are dozens of Easter eggs and surprises if you look carefully enough. You can go through the drawers and find props as well as the normal things a professor would have in his desk in the 1930's. Even a secret stash of 1941 comic books in his desk. Indiana seems like the kinda guy who would have a stash of comics hidden in his work desk. I know i do! The Webley ammo is currently .45 magnum but I will be receiving correct .455 inert Webley rounds in a couple days that will replace the magnum rounds. It is in my garage now but when my son gets his new house we will move it in there.

Oops. I meant to type 1941. Pearl harbor obviously was 1941, not 1942.

This is amazing. 100% saving this post as inspiration for when I move and can set up my home office as if it was Indy's.

Thanks. Yeah not bad. Wish I had some of that Rubbing paper to make it more Authentic.

So many badass displays on here! Everybody is doing remarkable work.
