Custom made PF real working bullwhips !

[mfisher]

These were just brought to my attention this week... good god they are BEAUTIFUL pieces... Joe Strain is a professional bullwhip maker and apparently he has produced some 1/4 scale whips... these would be a PERFECT addition to a PF statue... the price is $250.00 for one... but geesh I would love to add one of these to my Indy PF... here is a link to the whip photo :

Looks like he also does a 1/6 version.. but I believe they may be the same price as well...

Wow Mike, another GREAT find! A little out of my price range though! for $250, you could almost get a whole other Indy PF!

 

[mfisher]

yeah.. I have been wanting to learn this process of braiding leather into one of these.. just have not had the time...

 

[FLOSI]

Wow, he does amazing work! Can't justify that price though.

 

[occulum]

site says theyre 20".
Accurate 1/4 scale would be 30" if I did my math correctly ...

 

[Club Obi Wan]

There's another one on there that is 30" long. Maybe the 20" is the 1/6 scale?

They're both great. Just wish I could afford one...

Great looking whip but darn expensive! My 8 footer from Joe was only $100 more than this seven or eight years ago! Oh well, he's currently the best whip-twister behind David Morgan IMHO. Who else makes 1/6 braided whips?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Those whips look FANTASTIC! But the price... :eek

 

[hemble]

Damn that is sure nice work especially at that size.

Nice, but WAY too rich for my blood...

 

[korelius]

Sweet...$75, at most I might pay...

Additional photos taken by Joe.

His work is simply amazing.
I can not imagine the total number of hours of work it requires.

250$ for 1/4 AND 1/6.
I can understand for the 1/4 but for the 1/6 I can't.

 

[J-Wild]

Man, those are awesome! Wish they were a little cheaper though...ouch on the $$!

 

[Something Sexy]

Yea I agree with everyone else, AMAZING whips but definitely not worth the price in my opinion.

 

[MinMay]

$250 for a whip is tooo much for me to spend.

If I have a choice to spend $250 on an accessories, I would prefer a separate hat instead to go with the exclusive version.

 

[Captain Britain]

Amazing work, but Greg's whip is good enough for me. I would consider paying $100 for the 1/6 scale, although that would feel pretty extravagant - but $250 is mad.

 

[bmarz1000]

Pardon my ig-no-rance but who is Greg? Thanks.

I think he means Greg Mowry, one of the sculptors of the PF. In other words, the whip that comes with the PF is good enough.

Trevor Grove sculpted the whip which comes with the PF.
Greg Mowry deals with the fabric parts of the miniature costumes.
