This month marks the 30th anniversary of "Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade". The original three Indiana Jones movies were huge for me as a kid, and it was a wonderful opportunity to get to work on Indiana Jones products with Sideshow years ago.Harrison Ford is always very difficult to sculpt. There's just no way around it. This was the clearest example of that challenge. Many years back (maybe 2010 or so) Sideshow was going to produce a 1:2 scale version of Indy (3 Feet tall). I was honored to get the chance to work on the sculpted elements for what was planed to be a cool mixed-media piece. Unfortunately, after my first attempt at all the sculpted parts, the final prototype's head/hands/feet were all too small in context of the tailored outfit.....So the only option was to resculpt everything larger... which I did.This sad development did give me another chance at the likeness, though. It's not my best Ford, (they all have something wrong with them) but it had some potential. The hat was going to be flocked and feature a fabric ribbon....I was so excited to see how it would turn out, but the project was shelved for a variety of reasons I'm sure. For something THIS big, if it isn't bang-on perfect, you probably won't be able to sell it, and the investment would be an insane loss if nobody bought it.It's funny to look back on things that required such immense energy but never saw the light of day. It feels perfectly in line with the character of Indiana Jones, really. You struggle endlessly and barely survive, and by the end of the adventure you don't have anything to show for it but what you, hopefully, learned.Enjoy!Trevor
