Members ScoobyNewbie Posted August 13, 2018 Members Report Posted August 13, 2018 Yeah favorite quote, “,but you sir, are a self made man.” Not to reference anybody, just my favorite quote from that movie. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted August 13, 2018 Members Report Posted August 13, 2018 Lee Marvin was a Marine. As accomplished as he was as an actor, he opted to be remembered as a jarhead on his headstone. I think that is pretty cool. Could've afforded a huge fancy headstone, etc., but went for the VA provided headstone. Quote
Members RegisD Posted August 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 13, 2018 Yes, being a Marine is one of those forever things. Quote Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.
Members RegisD Posted August 15, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 On a cowboy shooting forum it was pointed out that I left off the oval center part of the pants belt. On closer examination of pictures of the original belt, they were correct, I hadn't noticed it. So, instead of remaking the center part of the belt, I add some Mexican silver. Hope you like it.

Members plinkercases Posted August 15, 2018 Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 Wow... you made that?

Members RegisD Posted August 15, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 Plinkercases, I would love to be able to do silver smithing, but no I didn't make it. It is a cowboy buckle I had made about twenty-five years ago and now it has a new purpose. Thanks for asking. Quote Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.
Members zuludog Posted August 15, 2018 Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 I know I shouldn't hijack threads, but I couldn't resist this, as it is one of my favourite film anecdotes The part of Quint, the shark fisherman in 'Jaws' was originally offered to Lee Marvin, but he turned it down, saying; "I eat fish, I don't act with them".

Members RegisD Posted August 21, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 If at first you don't succeed try again. This is my revised version of the style 1911 gun rig and belt worn by Lee Marvin in The Professionals. I think I've got it right this time. Hope you like it.

Members plinkercases Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 Cant wait for the third version...all excellent and getting more so. In the picture was it a mag pouch on his weak side or in some it looked almost like an open top holster? Not sure if you said above but what is the finish you used?
