imp. army patch interest thread

[762s[TX]]

im looking to get a pair of patches to build an army costume and from what i have read and been told im not sure the source for them is worth going through.

so, im thinking of sourcing them myself. 
i see some 15 people are waiting or wanting them ... is there still an interest to finish or start an army costume?

who would be interested in a pair or more of imperial army patches?

post below please ... one way or another i will make it happen and get my 2 patches

we still have people coming into the program who need patches, plus people who do not necessarily post to the forums, so the need will be ongoing.    

 

I have contacted a maker I work with a lot, as well as WTF directly to inquire about restock.  

[762s[TX]]

alright,

proof is in.

@areilly

critique please ...
the bow in the side is not going to be an issue ...i already talked to the vendor about it

~ 6.3" tall
~ 3.15" wide
~ scaled to the imperial cog per crl and my request

In general, looks on track.  You have the bow on the left.   Also the bottom is doing some strange thing at the point.

Colors...I truly hesitate to give color feedback.  We shall wait for @Blackwatch and @ShovelGuy as they are the Detachment Costume Advisors for the Imperial Army costumes.  Thanks for pushing this forward!

comparing my own patches to the screen image things look fine. the shield is nice and vibrant and the dark green color looks correct compared to mine.  
is the left side bowing just a issue with that individual patch? mine curl p at the top edge until they are sewed down. 

[762s[TX]]

alright, 

ill make sure again that the edge and the bottom are not going to look like this proof.

and hopefully get this run started ...

[762s[TX]]

run is going into production and the fixes (side and bottom) are being addressed 

it will be about a months time and then i think it will be a permanent fixture on the Endor Finders site.

ill update again, when i know more

Sorry I couldn't reply earlier - Your proof looks a bit different from the WTF version, which is 3.0"x5.0" with different proportions.

Not saying yours looks bad, after all the source material is pretty fuzzy to start with so we don't have anything exact to compare against anyways. When I was drawing this one up and digging for reference material, I did come across another image from that seems to match the proportions you went with... maybe from an old WTF facebook thread, but I'm not sure anymore - but I ended up going against the physical patch examples. Also I did notice that slightly bowed edge in all the WTF images, which was really weird, like that line was freehanded or something.

This is one of the WTF patches compared to the drawing I posted in the other thread (the colors are a bit off)

the darker OD patch looks like what Kerry Rowntree did a while back. he used OD instead of the vibrant green.

@Blackwatch 
Will the WTF patches still be acceptable for approval?  Those are the only ones I have and are at the seamstress awaiting sewing on.

 

[762s[TX]]

theres no need for it not to be approved.

the crl doesnt given exact details on all things like colors, height of the entire patch

 

• A shield shaped patch.
• The patch has an Imperial cog symbol approximately 2.75 to 3 inches in diameter.
• The background of the patch has a more narrow shield shaped design on top of a box colored a darker shade of green.

 

the crl's main take is the size of the cog, the patch looking like a shield and that the shield on the inside of the patch sits on a box

go and get your patches sewn on

 

[mlgroberts02]

So how soon can they be available and purchased? :-)

[mike ford[501st]]

i will need 2 of them myself for the wife's build

[Devolver[501st]]

I’d be interested in two of these as well. Seriously considering an IAT build.
