Here are some Squadron Patches that I am doing for my Unit. I am going to do one for all off the Units that are stationed here in Beaufort with me. I would like to see others that everyone has.
You forgot the JPGs!

I have been playing with different ideas for military carves. These are what I have in my file at this time. I haven't carved any of these as yet but I am confident they will carve fine.
Just a quick Air Force logo
I'm having fun making 3d patterns now... here's a gun... no clue what kind...

Here's one that I carved a couple of days ago and now painting up. Trying to do a SharonB on it, but have a little ways to go yet! LOL.
I think it looks awesome. I am thinking about carving one similar to yours for a friend of mine that has helped me thru a lot of VA hurdles.

Hello Jerry B
Great job. I love the plaque and might have to try one myself.
Keep up the good work
Jerry... That is one very nice carving. With a paint job like that you are certainly a #1 painter. It's hard to tell but did you use some of the Golden paints on your carving? Who's eagle pattern is that?
Jerry ... awesome job brother. I have put that in my "2B Carved" folder ... wish I had more time.
Hey Sharon,
No, this first pic posted I didn't use any of the Golden paints. However, I did in this last pic. Still learning how to use it. Used it little on the red & white stripes, stars and the ribbon.

JerryB, that came out great, thanks for showing us your work.
Jerry,
Job well done, both on the carve and painting!!
Nice job Jerry, very nice.
Been playing around a little more with some other "pieces/parts" and I'm gonna try and carve this one next. If it turns out OK I'll post the mpc to share out with everyone. Of course if I had the 3d tool I think I could really make that mpc pop! LOL

Looks very nice without 3d also. Nice work.
OK... so here it is finished out(except for just a little staining). Using some the paint samples I got from SharonB. Thanks Sharon!

That is really nice. What type of paints did you get at the conference? It has a very interesting sheen that catches your eye more than acrylic or other crafting paints I'm used to using .
WHOA! Jerry, that is gorgeous!
Yup... paints or made by Golden and are called Interference paints?.... (OK SharonB chime in anytime... LOL) They do put a nice "sheen" on paintings. It's just a matter of knowing where to place it. Basically you still paint everything with your paints and these other "Golden" paints are added to areas of the painting to add that "extra" look. One day I'll do it as well as SharonB so for now I'm still learning how to use them. You can buy these at Hobby Lobby or Michael's, and located in the Art section (not woodcrafts like I've been looking in forever). They typically come in tubes and they last forever from what I understand. SharonB brought some to us at the conference and let us have some small samples and that's what I'm using now until I go out and purchase my own. Thanks SharonB! I'm really liking these paints.
Here's the mpc in case anyone is interested in it.

Note: In case anyone noticed that the "soldier's cross" (weapon, helmet & boots) are different in the colored pic and the 1st pic that I posted before carving it. I was told that there is typically a soldier holding Dog Tags while kneeling and praying so I went "google" hunting and found it. Imported it and updated my mpc.
Jerry....That did turn out nice. Love the way you used the Interference paints. Guess I have at least one convert to the Golden Paints. I'm still trying to catch up from my Alaska vacation and the CW Conference, plus the current local quilt show (just admiring not participating). But I'm certainly going to have to try your Never Forgotten plaque soon. I have board gluing now so I can carve legs for my cribbage table (using Terry T's pattern) but once that is done your pattern will be next on the list.
Henry.... I use what are called Interference paints by Golden Paints. Just type in Golden Paints and it should take you right to their website. I need to take a moment and post some of my carvings that were shown at the Houston Conference for those that were unable to attend. I have also started using Golden's Fluid Paints on some of my carvings. Here in the U.S. Golden Paints can be purchased in most stores where artist paints are sold. Online they are available from Golden Paints, Jerry's Paintarama. Dick Blick, etc. These paints are a little on the expensive side but they last a long, long time... as they are used for highlighting your work after you have painted/stained your piece. I will start another thread and show some of my pieces.

Just finished this one last week. These are my father's medals that he received during WWII. I have his actual medals in a case, but decided to see how they might turn out if I carved them all. Looks like they turned out OK. I'm now going to make a few more plaques and send them to my siblings so they can enjoy and pass them on to their kids. As I was doing some research and looking in to the medals that my father received during WWII, I discovered that he is eligible for the Bronze star so now I'm in the process of sending in his documents that I have and submitting him for his Bronze Star. Although he's not around anymore I'm sure he might have had something to do with sending me on this latest journey of research. I think he's looking down with a smile on his face. So.... this one is for you dad... "Related by birth.... brothers by Service". Miss you pop!
That is awesome. One of the best plaques I have ever seen.

Those medals look wonderful I'm sure every one will cherish those.
That is nice and nice painting
Wonderful work Jerry.
chebytrk,
That is very impressive. I am sure your father would have been very proud.
Mike
Jerry that plaque is perfect. Your dad would be very proud of you.
Perry B.
That is awesome Jerry ... a great tribute to your dad and fellow soldier. It is amazing how our projects uncover things.
They came out really good. Nice Job!
That is a really nice tribute to your father. I think the medals turned out great.
