[Servo]

Triple Z logo.

 

[DrMcoy]

COOL!

Am I losing my mind or are the "Z's" backwards??

I like them all -- are you just gonna make ONE style?

If so, I'll vote for Z's.

What is plan for top of ring? Engraved insignia??

Can't wait to order one!!

 

[darthinvictus]

screwd up on the z's dohhhhhh
looks to be a z consenus so far
if so there will be 2 extremely rare crayon ponyfish zissou rings
these were only available for 2 months in 1979 at which time it came to light that the sweat shop steve was usung in s.e.asia used lead paint on the logo
and lead for the ring body
apparently they were shipped in lead boxes as well though no specimans are known to exist

 

[DrMcoy]

well, what size are the seahorse rings? I may get one of each!!

Thanks for taking this on, Darth -- I wanna be the first to place an order!

[randommann]

wow these look amazing!
The Z's do look great!

 

[eaviii]

Very cool indeed. In no matter what style. Like the triple Z.

Awesome idea sir.

Doc

 

[darthinvictus]

thank the good dr.mcoy

 

[darthinvictus]

sorry
the seahorse rings are 11

 

[TheRealMcFly]

I like the Zs myself. Definitely gonna pick one of these up.

Then its time to bust out the Adidas Zissous and stroll. Cue music from that awful Travolta sequel.

Oh and THANK YOU for making the rings.:thumbsup

EDIT: Keep me posted on the Intrest Thread. I hope there will be one.

 

[darthinvictus]

will do
those adidas are waesome
i made a pair too
but the ultimate proving of love really shows when you wear the speedo in public

 

[drsyn71]

Those are great. The triple Z would look cool. Or the recessed crayon pony.

Darth -- what are your plans for the ring emblem/signet area -- the design that will be inside the main circular portion?? Engraved metal or something that is affixed within the circular recess?????

 

[darthinvictus]

affixed logo
either encased in clear resin or
........................................... shrinky dink
i hope...
dont know yet

 

[DrMcoy]

What is the diameter of your circle?

I ask because I bought a few of those bubble gum rings off ebay and I have a lens that might fit that I would certainly use for mine if it is the proper size.

By the way, it was a real chore getting the existing "design" decal off the original plastic lens used on the bubble gum rings.

Although I would also love to see your solution.

Looks great... definitely interested as a big Zissou fan.

 

[darthinvictus]
