Thanks everyone for your kind compliments!

I love that picture!  Although... they do look a bit like they're waiting for a bus.  "Dammit, is the No. 54 ever going to arrive?!  If we miss that space flight I won't be responsible for my actions...  Grr, inefficient earth infrastructure...  WURDAH public transport!!"

Well... there are instructions for drawing the shape somewhere on the 'Ork Alarm' site, but it's missing the explanatory diagram.  So I printed out some pictures of album covers and worked out that it's really a series of six nested circles (alternating between two different centre points).  When you've drawn those you get rid of the bit at the bottom where the circles overlap, and draw the 'pointy bit'.   (Can you tell I am useless at maths??)

I made a cardboard template thusly and away I went!

Yes, mine is slightly domed/convex.  Because... isn't it supposedly representative of some kind of armour plating that enfolds the body??  Something like that!  I think that may also be why the original ones were so flamboyantly enormous.   Jewellery on a more tastefully discreet scale won't stop those nasty earth people from injuring your precious internal organs with their horrid guns, now will it??!!

Size wise, I thought the Seventh ones looked a bit small, so mine's a bit bigger than those (I think); but yes, a 1970s hubcap version would look a bit silly!!

Why??

Wait a minute...  There are Kobaïan pubs?!

Good lord.

In that case there must be Kobaïan pub jokes.  You know, "Pitiful earthling walks into a Kobaïan bar..."

It's too early for punchlines, but I'm sure someone can think of a few...

Nice, I was gonna order one off of Seventh but it was way too small.

Where did you purchase it from and how big is it?

And take a photo of you wearing it too, so we can all see!

I want one!

Could you make me one and send me it in the post?  I like the fact it's on the smaller size too and not huge like the real ones were in the early 1970s.  I don't want to be mistaken for a hip-hop fan!

But seriously, I do want one... I gather you can buy them but gosh... a personalised one would be so damned cool!  I could then make it the size.

I want it, grrr!



Those are just a little too big for my liking...

Nice work there. Quite inspiring. How much did all of this cost you?
