Looks great!  :aok
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It has come out nicely.  :aok
The only thing that catches my eye is the green color, which looks quite brown in the photo.
Brooke, can you confirm if it is only the photo? Is the green closer to original in real?

Another minor detail is the proportion or RAF roundel colors. It seems like red has eaten away some of white's space. Not a big issue though, IMHO.

Not sure if there is a difference in the thread color on the aircraft or if it's just the lighting hitting different stitch directions, but they have a more 3D look to them than usual. Wether intentional or not- vary nice.

As best I can tell from the color code for the twill, that's the best match they can figure for the olive drab/greenish boundary.  Sometimes, with the twill or threads, they don't have an exact match and have to go with whatever they feel is closest.

CC Brooke. Then that's the one to go with  :aok

ps. just as a future reference for everyone/anyone, do they have a chart of available colors?
Maybe you could host/link such on your badge page?

They do have a chart, but I've found that what you see on the screen and what you see when you look at the finished patch can appear different, so there's still a bit of judgement in picking the best match.  In the past, they've done a pretty good job of picking a good match.  We'll see how they do on that background of the BoB 2008 patch.

That is a useful chart  :aok

Can you confirm what background color they were using?

Their graphics version (the one with brown outline) looked like it had SC3311, which is pretty close to the original target. If the color could be picked from thread colors, I think 276 would be closest.

I am just guessing that the sample now has either "Olive drab" or SC351 as background... or then the photo might just give such impression.

IMHO, SC3311 or a bit more colorful SC336 might best follow the assigned colors.

But, in any case, I'll trust your opinion, since you can see the sample in real :)

The patches are in:



They look great.  (BlauK, the outside ring is indeed a nice olive drab, not brown.)

Very nice design!

I'm off to bed, but this week, I'll post here and send out e-mail on how to request a patch, get Roo set up, etc.
