Congrat's Liembo, I like the Black Cat patch! The buyer of your eBay auction really likes your Black Cat patch... Wow!! Bid up to $75. |

That'll be the last one for a while, they're all but out of stock from me at this point, unless some of the Kickstarter folks sell theirs. Thank you to all of the kind words about this round of patches. They mean a lot and I will be just as diligent with any future offerings. I will likely work with a new embroiderer going forward. |

I'm very pleased with all three of the patches. As close as possible in the modern era. The 61E is quite striking and better than the original, in my view.Thanks, Liem, for making these patches a reality. |

Liem, I received the STS-61E patch. It is a good patch. I guess though, that it may be true that the originals' crew name lettering was white, not silver. If so, please don't take Jacques' criticism as a reason to not make any more replica patches. All it means is that you may need to do even more checking with people to make sure a small thing like that has not been missed. In the photos of the originals, it is easy to not catch that the crew names are in white, it is easy to think that they are in silver like the ASTRO-1 is. |

I agree with Bill Nelson. Let critics be critics, regardless of what they say. You had the courage and the resources to make the replica. Kudos to you to make it happen. I cannot wait to receive my patch. |

I also received all three patches over the weekend and I am completely satisfied with their quality and price point. The GTA-6 replica patch is larger than my AB Emblem Gene Dorr Gemini 6 replica, but again, great quality. |

I received my three patches today and wanted to say thank you Liem for your excellent efforts. You can't please everyone but I'm very happy with my set. The STS-61E patch is very well executed, yes the names should be white but this example shines over the other replicas I've seen. Thank you again. |

I have a few ideas on deck, you can vote as to what you would like to see next here. There are three replicas in that mix: Gemini 5 "Crew Souvenir," Apollo 7 Crew patch (on white cloth) and a proper MOL replica. The Apollo 7 has some technical requirements I am working on addressing before I can fully commit to it. I also wanted to extend a very heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has shown support for the recent release. Your critical feedback means a great deal and your on going support also means a lot to me. |

Sorry for being late to the party, but I just wanted to add my voice to the list of Liem's satisfied customers... very happy with both patches, and looking forward to his next project (especially if it's the GT-5 crew souvenir patch).  |
