Patch: Red Star

In my quest to get all the patches ready made and never make my own (that day is almost dawning) I have found a seller on ebay that makes patches themselves and one had an interesting design on them...



Yes, this is the Communist/Russian/USSR red star that is seen on Ace's (her)left arm. As you can see this one is adorned by a circle, but I have politely asked the seller if they are the maker (which they are) and whether they can do a custom one as per the Ace patch - and they said yes!

I am awaiting the unique ebay auction to materialise, then will see 1) how much it is and 2) how close it is to the image I supplied.

Oh and thirdly, is it the right size? The ruler next to it suggests it may be alittle on the small size but given I have never met the original in person or am any good at getting measurements from pictures with scaling other objects, its all guess work!

Fingers crossed!

Aaaaarrrrgh what a find!

I may very well have found the elusive and mysterious Pirate head badge



Lets hope I get it!

That bear...

The elusive Rupert Bear Club badge, in its original 1980s condition, is almost in my hands...

Ace Jacket (on Ebay!)

What a rare occurrence, an Ace jacket on ebay! Check it out below (click the image to go there)



Sold by some friends of mine, from the fan filming world, looks like it was made using the instructions as documented by canofcake at livejournal. Looked quite good I thought!

1 day left! So get your bids in!
