Hello Diamondback - -
The Armament placard worn by the Six was 10" X 16" (with a 1" border).
Keep in mind the Drendel artwork of Balls 4 is very good, but it is a drawing with some imperfections (in my opinion the stripes are a little thick). But using that piece with pictures will certainly give you a great representation of the stripes.

Thanks, Ernie! So, if the Drendel stripes are thick, and the total placard over outside edging is 18", I'm thinking a 6" figure per stripe ought to work. (If only I could find an original Fowler sheet or build with it applied to measure from...) 1/8" seems awful small for that area, but if I could find tape the right width... (Great, now I'm having flashbacks to high-school Algebra! Guess mocking it up in SketchUp will work as a shortcut... if somebody had a really good model of a Six for it I'd consider digitally "slicing it up" along the stripe edges and using that to generate masks, or better yet artwork for an ALPS so all I'd need to lay down with paint would be a white base.)
I've also seen photos of 0057 as Ops O's bird with just the blues, to add a little more data to the mix, but each of its two looks broader than 004 or 0054's, my gut says "about same area covered".

Gary, Challenge Coins are two sided. If there is a rare one it may be a short run special edition. Pat McGee can answer this question. Here is the current copy of Pat McGee's estore selection. www.f-106deltadart.com/estore/Thanks, Pat P. |

Here is the current copy of Pat McGee's estore selection. www.f-106deltadart.com/estore/Thanks, Pat P. I've purchased from his estore before. Looks like his keychains have about doubled in price. I have ordered quite a few as gifts and don't recall paying that much. I could be wrong, been wrong before. OK Jim, can you spot the difference ? EDIT: Gary are you talking about the Dragon's fins are white on one coin and blue on the other? I don't know which one is correct, white or blue. One coin could be a shot of the proof before production that was rejected and corrected to the correct color. Just guessing. Oh BTW, I edited this because if I Quoted it would lose the earliest post.
