Hi all...
After the success of me Resistance Pilot Wing Pins (see: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=255563), I was asked if I would do First Order versions.
Here is what I have come up with.

The Resistance Pilot pins were based off TFA marketing artwork. However there were not wing related art for the FO. Not a problem as I developed the pin wing design for my previous Rebel and Imperial Wing Pins and those have been successful for multiple runs since 2002.
As this will be a companion piece for my Resistance Wings, the size will be the same; 2" long. Currently the height will be around .8" which is approx the same as the Resistance pins. I wanted the FO wing design to be different from the Resistance version which was simple line work with an upward design. So I went with a traditional feather look using a downward design.
Currently the way the pin is designed is the the white area in the artwork are recessed which would allow enamel to be added if the design called for it. I know I want this for the main logo, but I may invert the black and whit of the wings to allow the feathers to be raised and the grooves to be recessed.
Like this:

This would mean the the wings would have no enamel option unless I make the design with a raised frame around it. Then the grooves of the feathers could have enamel coloring. Not sure how that frame would look or even if enamel I the wing grooves would be visually pleasing.
Like the previous wings, I plan on offering various colors. So ideas so far.
-Antique silver plating with black enamel
-Antique silver plating with dark red enamel
-Polished silver plating, no enamel
-Black plating with dark red enamel
-Black nickel plating with dark red enamel
Because these will be the same size, the plan is to sell them for $13 shipping in the US.
