Title: [IC] Military Rank Caps [Keys Of Our Fathers]
Post by: Tym on Wed, 01 May 2013, 18:14:19
If there is enough interest show here this group buy will be taken to the next level, so without further ado here is what's been organised so far.

(http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff362/TymCooper/ranks_zps4acfeb1f.png)

I would like to turn these 6 emblems into 6 keys, on an Olive Drab Green background. I spent a lot of time discussing with BunnyLake which ranks to use and we decided upon these. With each order $1 will be donated to Operation Hire Our Hero's (http://operationhireourheroes.org/) an organisation set up to help returning veterans find work back home.

These keys will be made using QWERKeys new UV printing method.

Where do we go from here?
1. I will create some basic Mock-Ups
2. More advanced/realist Mock-Ups will be made
3. GB will be created!

Hoo-rah!

I would buy a set, if only because of the donation and wanting to try for myself how the new UV printing is. Is their an estimated pricing as of yet?

Pricing:

50 =  $18.62 a set
100 = $13.97 a set
200 = $11.17 a set
500 = $9.31 a set

Because payment price would be in £GBP the prices will change marginally with the varying currency, shipping will be around the $5 area world wide (USA and Europe etc.) although more information is needed for area's further-a-field such as Asia and Korea.

There is also the $1 donation but these are how to the prices currently stand, subject to change.

Interest checked!

Not a military guy but they would look sick on a Filco Camo.

I might have to buy this just to have those Captain's bars :P And I've been eager to see what this UV printing is like.

Edit: I like the title of the OP but it might be a little confusing. Maybe you want to change it to something a little more literal?

Not a Sir, a Ma'am. :) Though these days they appear to shoot at you either way, someone needs to stop that!

I was a Captain in the Royal Corps of Signals.

My apologise Ma'am, although they probably believed you were showing too much ankle.

No enlisted?
How can you have a military without enlisted? Nothing would ever get done.

Then again, maybe that's why there is no enlisted ranks... none were there to correct the officers.  :p
