That's true enough. Clearly I just need to cover it in superglue and dab it with cotton balls until it looks the part. :V
Posted an interest thread to see if we have enough people on-board to merit a run on the patches.

I managed to find a good pic of the Namibia patch; Hugh wore it to the Australian premier. I wonder if it was a gift given to all the crew on set, cause I can't find any retailers selling it.

I also found the backing for the "grinder" medal if anyone is interested. - http://www.adtrophy.com/medals/colo...medals/0/30282/120:121:122:123:124:125/?sid=1
Regarding the ribbons for the medals, the tan, green, and red look like a herringbone pattern. A quick trip to the local Jo-Ann's got me the red and ivory (which I plan on dirtying up).

I'm still waiting for the green to arrive from an etsy dealer. The center of the Easyriders and "grinder" medal look like jute webbing sewed onto a slightly darker tan webbing. I was also able to get them from Jo-Ann's. I have a 1/2 yard of each and will have a ton of green.

The GX for the boots are from a Datsun 200b and I think the 500's are from a Fairlane 500 which probably uses the same molds as the Falcon 500.
I've been a long time lurker and was inspired to start working on Joe from these threads, so I finally made an account and figured, "Why not help some others out too!"

Haha, I am actually quite pleased that I was close with my model of that grinder badge. I remember wondering why on earth it looked asymmetrical with the laurels because I couldn't imagine a stock medal would do that, but there we are. Thanks for sharing those, Dupuis.
I can't see the attachment of the Namibia patch you uploaded for some reason - any chance you can rehost it on a site like imgur?

The problem with being raised on the metric system and not having a good idea of inches when ordering things at work. This is two sheets. So much plastic. 60 lb pit bull for scaling.

A quick 3d print on normal settings and I think this turned out great. Great job figuring out the font used on the TEXAS one and EIN I used your vector as the base to build out the 3d model.
I'm doing a second print right now with a few tweeks, plus making the TEXAS one larger.
I gathered up all the 1080 reference I could possibly find for the star patch and put it in one image. Good eye on the texas and star symbol. Generally the star should indicate the location in texas of the organization represented by the patch, I'd guess.
I see nothing resembling text in the top 'ribbon'. I could be convinced on closer inspection that it's actually an eagle or bird, with a head in the center poking up slightly from the curve.
I'm also seeing the double humps of white in the circle as being wings the more l look at it, with straight leading edges leading all the way past the edge of the star and separating into individual feathers. There would be an upward arcing ribbon for the text contained within the wings in this proposal.
As for the text in that ribbon, It makes no sense to me. I can't see any real word consistently across the reference, even for just the bicep patch. "A"S(or 8)" "P" are the only 3 I might put money on.
I had done the same thing for the Namibia patch before I saw Dupuis' excellent finds here, so i just threw his clean patch over the bunch for weathering reference. The font appears to be made of bones.
And theres so very little for the horseshoe heraldry piece, previously posted by Ein I believe.
I probably got the shield sense from the fact that it's folded by the groove in the arm it's glued to - and the appearance that it's a heraldry crest, so often in a shield format.
I have seen the phrase "Texas Pride" on some patches, but I can't make sense of the left-to-right spacing: if the ribbon goes far enough right to finish the word "pride," there almost has to be a short word in front of "Texas" to keep the whole phrase centered.
To me, the "horseshoe" is definitely a shield within a shield and the top has been heavily sanded to weather it; so much so that a little "bite" is missing from the top left. Is that a man's face in the very center?

@logan74k - Thanks for those images. I'm redoing my patch designs now to be a bit more in line with them.
Made the star a gray/silver instead of the gold I had it as initially and redid a bit of the top heraldry banner. As I mentioned in the interest thread on these, I have no idea what to write on the scrollwork, so I'll leave it up to you enterprising souls doing what you do with a permanent marker if you care to have something scrawled on there.
I had no idea the Namibia patch had a bone font - that makes a lot more sense than the weird serif one I chose. I'll change that shortly. The bone design is actually a little bit different on the crossbones - mine is filled in, whereas those seem to be more outlined.
edit: Here we go.
Still have to tweak the outline of the skull a bit. Unfortunately, it's not really much a match for the one on the national park gates that I posted earlier - similar, absolutely, but the tiny details were simplified a bit for the embroidery process, I guess.
@ahoudini It may be the human tendency to see faces in things, but I totally see what I think is a head above a torso in that horsehoe thing, or a man reading a book or something. That's assuming it even goes that way up - it might be stuck on upside-down! Lol. I do kinda detect a feather or laurel design at the bottom of the horseshoe, though I agree at this point it looks like a shield inside a horseshoe.

I'm really liking the way 3d printing this is working. Granted getting proper embroidery is ideal, but my deadline is one week from now (PAX, then DC). A few of the bits of the letters broke off the Sheriff's Department patch, but since I'm going to weather it down anyway It's going to work.

Dude! For a quick 3d print solution to the patches, that looks legit! Awesome work 
Very nice bone font Ein! If we're picky I see the very outside perimeter of black is slightly thicker, but that might be something to work out with the patch company as it looks like a stitched wrapped edge, and I have no idea how they would interpret that with the art (if they even do that) Namibia is in a bigger font than 'skeleton coast' to get the relation of the crossbones pointing at the right letters. The skull is also bigger in relation - the ring of black field around it is even a bit thinner than the font is tall.

Welp, my lady legs arrived today, which I planned on using for my arm plates, but the plastic has a blue tint to it, so yeah, not recommended! I figure since I already have a good amount of PETG on the way, I'll just split these legs down the middle and try using them to shape some PETG.

I modified the 1100 and GX badges that Hamsterstyle made to be curved. Definitely print with supports, it doesn't matter if it's rough on the bottom since that part is against the leather anyway. I also made the piston in case anyone needs it.
