The Chachapoyan Fertility Idol
Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 9:20 am
Andy, who has a great Indy costume, requested that I produce the Golden fertility Idol as seen in The Raiders of the Lost Ark. So, I did some research on the net, stared at screen captures, drank a Fresca and cannibalized half a roll of Reynolds wrap. Nearly 2 pounds of Super Sculpey later, it's done. While it's not EXACTLY like the move props, I feel like it's an acceptable representation. (And not too shabby for a first attempt.) Anyway, let me know what you think. Here are some pics of the finished idol:
I had no idea it had that thingy between its legs! 
You may want to look into an alternate source for hardening clays. It will save tons of money in the long run. Sculpy can be expensive. Awesome work!!!
