Currently in the works at the seamstress:
AVI G1 2nd production run to be converted to a "Toko Ri" Tribute jacket ...
When i first found this pic on the net ...
i thought it is an original not recognizing the face of William Holden
Anyway - i was looking for some Inspiration for personalising my G1 and decided to go for a Corea-theme. Even tough it is fiction ...
I found a guy on eBay selling a whole set of Patches for a "Toko Ri" lookalike.
Quality wasn't bad when the set arrived so i gave the Patches some Treatment to get rid of that brandnew - shiny look - the nametag was left untouched
before:
after:
Following the movie the layout should look somehow like this:
For the nametag i wasn't certain about the Position coz compared to period pics the movie-nametag seemed to be a bit on a low position on the movie jacket
Well, after all i decided to go for the patch-position like shown on the movie-pics. I tried to consider that i own a size 46 and my gestimation about Williams jacket is more to the size 40 direction. So i tried not to get too high towards the collar with the tag. Using the shoulder-patches also there would be a whole lot of stuff going on on that jacket so i decided to first apply the chestpieces only to see whether i wanna go that whole way down or stay with just 2 patches.
Jacket should be finished - with the 2 chestpieces only - in about 3 days. After pickup i will decide how to continue.
