BR Rough Wear Art - Ties...

[Dany McDonald]

Love this!!! Looking forward for more images.

I've also being tempted to go for a Jacket art but still looking for an original to go from. Saw a really nice Jolly Roger A-2 on a Japanese site, will try to share with you once found in my history.

Are you going from an original or a tribute with a ''correct'' pattern/graphic?

Thank you for sharing, it's inspiring.

Have not seen any jackets for 'The EAGER BEAVER'. Some patched ones for the 320th but mostly other Squadrons in the 90th Group. Until I ventured out to the military meets around Far North Queensland I did not realise just how much USAAF stuff is around up there.

Found the 320th grouping and the patch that started this whole process...

Good start - always daunting putting paint on a jacket. Look forward to seeing how it comes out.

Here are my versions of the same patches.

Wait a second..."my versions"...you HAVE these patches or you MADE these patches? If you made them, then that is some absolutely awesome work...wow!

Made by me - thanks for the nice comments.

I have about 400 patches now in total. I've done all the 90th BG patches, each of the 4 squadron patches and the appropriate squadron specific versions of the 'Jolly Roger' group patch. I'll get round to doing the early war version of the 320th BS sometime as well - that's an interesting design.

Steady progress. A blend of an Australian painted patch and the more prevalent embroiders patch.

Pretty chuffed!

Couchy,

great job!

And this is sooo rewarding....nothing better than do this stuff yourself...starts with anxiety ("What if I screw this up and ruin a 3-digit value A-2?"), followed by scepticism ("So far it doesn't look like much, or does it?!"), then comes the euphoria ("Yes, it looks great...I am a master...I should make this for a living!") and leads to final stage of "last minute terror" ("Are my hands clean? Don't leave messy finger prints....be careful with those last outlines...!")....but then...you have accomplished something that turns out exactly like you wanted it!

So good! And so addictive...get yourself another fix, junkie!

If not for the duties and such this task was to be yours. The UK Perry fell into the lap and went with the opportunity.

There are plenty of jackets here saved for your work. Just so many choices.... Has to be a fighter themed commission next time.

Appreciate the understanding with regard to getting the 'fix'. I think we are all like that with our jackets...

Stay classy.

The Perry is in Melbourne. Probably just another week or two to get that last 500kms...

 

[ausreenactor]

The 'Eager' has Landed!

Chuffed AF!

And I realised why I sold the Perry on in the first place. Guess it is here to stay anyway...

 

[B-Man2]

Late looks damn fine . Well done !
