Thinking about having a patch and pin made for site
I have a halfway idea for a pin and no idea for a patch. Any artists out there? Submit any design for either in this string and if we use it you get one free.. It would be the least I could do. Make that two free....even I am not that cheap.

I have placed an order
I have ordered a hundred pins and a hundred patches. They should be ready in about four weeks. The basic design should look something like the attached image but with no background and the edges of the pin should be metal with an antique silver finish as well as the letters in the Milsurp After Hours banner, more like the original banner.
I should have proofs in the near future and will post them.
My present thought is to open a paypal donation account so anybody from anywhere can contribute to the upkeep of the site. I will offer the pins and patches as a thankyou for donations. I think the way it will work is if anyone contributes $10 to the site they can have their pick of pin or patch. If someone should contribute $15 to the site they can have one of each. Additional $5 can produce a choice of either patch or pin at time of contribution. Postage to anywhere paid as part of the donation.
It doesn't take much to maintain this site so extra money, if this goes over well, can be put to use as prizes for milsurp matches or other projects as it comes to mind.

THe reason for Paypal
Eoin, by using Paypal the money should convert from whatever a contributor's national money is to US dollars. The contribution value is whatever the equal amount in other currencies would be to US dollars.
Thanks Tom for wanting to get started
I appreciate your interest in supporting the site. I haven't setup the account for this site yet. The pins and patches should be in my hands in about four weeks. At that time I'll setup the donation through Paypal account.
As I get donations I'll get addresses through emails as to details about patches and pins and where to mail them.

I know I posted this in the Announcements forum
Forgot I had this string going. But things are moving along. Designs.. such as they are... have been chosin and the orders are out for both pins and patches. Here is an attachment of the prototype for the patch. It will have a backing that allows you to iron it on something. I'll have to see the real thing before I have a real opinion of them.
