The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Okay..
DSB.. I will get with the guys at the screen shop.
Get the email address for you to send the images to again if they cant find them and get a firm quote.
I will try to work it in my lunch hour and see what I can come up with.
So hang on and I will see what I can do..

Please note: DSB. I think there was a request about correcting the moon shadow. Maybe we (I mean you) can do that since we have to have new screens made.
But that is up to the BOB.
SO... STAY ON STATION...

I also have the artwork courtesy of DSB. Actually, I took DSB's original artwork and cleaned up the curves a bit. I'd be more than happy to supply the cleaned up artwork if needed. If not, I'd still be interested in buying the silk screened patches as is. :)

Also, the original reason why I requested the artwork was because I was interested in making the same patches but in Subdued colors (shades of OD green). I've yet to find a printer that can do these. :(

How does the moon shadow differ from the two versions?

And likewise, I too missed the first run, so I'd be in for a set. I think Dave and the guys got tired of me drooling on theirs. And I got tired of all the pointing and laughting at my current ones. :D

Whatever I can do to get this ball rolling, I'll gladly chip in. I'll make donations, or whatever. Silkscreen! Silkscreen! Silkscreen! Silkscreen!

There was an issue with the moon shadow? Oh man, I thought they were perfect!

Well, if you need me to clean it up, that's cool, or if you want to go with Alex...either way is cool with me. :)
Just let me know.

DSB,
your artwork is great but there was something that bugged me about the USCM patch. It took some time but then it hit me:
The shadow on the moon is a circle!
However, the terminator (no not the T-800 - it's also the border between day and night) should go from pole to pole. (This is not 100% correct as the axis may be tilted, but it's the easiest way to explain this).
Have a look at the patch on Harry's site and you'll see what I 'm talking about:

Cheers,
Stefan

I'm in for a set or two.

Looks like I'm really going to need them. The airline lost my luggage with my new MAA BDU's and silksreened patches on them.

It looks like this:

A shadow like this could only happen if the moon would circle VERY close to the sun.

Here a comparison:

Darn...

Wish I would have thought of that when we had these embroidered patches done up. :roll: :D

Ahhh, o.k., I see now. I could have sworn I went strictly by the screen used patch when I did that artwork up...maybe there are different versions used on screen?

At any rate, it's easy enough to fix. :)

SWF, man that goes beyond suck! Make 'em pay out the nose, that stuff aint cheap!

Did this ever happen? If not, does anyone know if there are screen printed patches out there for sale?

Just wondering, as Steve was the person to help me out when I did this also - is there any further interest in 10th Regiment silk-screened patches? :P

That is, assuming people are going to get Steve to do them again (must have missed this thread first time around..)

I don't think Steve is doing them any more. The screens were destroyed.

He does have some pieces in stock, but he's out of Sulacos.

I'm doing some printed patches with new line art that I did. Should be really tight!

I'll have samples soon. Most importantly I've been wanting to do some subdued ones. My only problem is deciding to do OD or Tan subdued. I'll post a thread on it.
