Hello,

It's been a while since I've been here. I've been busy with work and eventually enrolled into uni, travelled around, basically kept myself busy. The trailer for the reboot has reminded me that Magnum P.I. (and this website, even though I haven't posted much) used to be a huge part of my life.

I feel so bad for never managing to actually make the cap, but I see someone's managed to find a proper cap and used my traces to make it.

Looks really good, I suppose I might make one for myself in the near future.

Feels good to be back. Are any of you guys still around?

I could finally took some time for this project, I hope you can see the pictures. ( Dear Admin PLS HELP :) )
It was hard to find a shop around here to finish this, nobody wants to print only ONE cap...
I think this one really close to the original one, Im still looking for some alternatives but this oldschool 5 Panel cap is almost impossible to find today.
If anyone needs a copy of this product, pls contact me I`ll see what can I do.

Hey Conch, nice to see you too! 8)

So if any one of you guys wants to try making the cap yourself and you're not bothered to scroll through the thread to find the renders, I'm making this post to make it easier for you. All of the separate ready-to-print files are available on my imgur, you can find the album here: https://imgur.com/a/DObvtZ1, or you can just save the files from below:

So there you have it, direct links to the first ever HD renders of this veeeery obscure cap. If you need even higher resolution of those, feel free to hit me up. I might try reconstructing the Coops logo in HD next!

Hello Kwai Bridge,

is there any chance that you provide me with the logos in Vector data ending with .ai .eps or .svg

I have found a printer who's willing and able to do it but he can't work with .pdf files.

Thank you!

Still here in this wacky place with this great group of guys n (a few) gals!

I actually always wondered if you ever finished this cap project.

The Get Wet cap was featured in the Season 7 episode on Encore last night. Good episode, but you could sense the production team was running out of gas. The end of the series was definitely approaching.

Anyone have plans to make some caps? I'd love one-perhaps even in different colors. :)

I am ready to do 4 caps ( I have the plain caps already).
Still hoping that someone can help me in converting the .png files into Vector data ending with .ai .eps or .svg

I‘ll then offer 3 caps at cost.

As said, at first I need someone to convert the .png files into a Vector formatte.

I have 4 plain black caps - 1 will be for myself, 3 will be then available

I can't convert the files, but I can pay for a cap if I can put in for one of the three that will be available.

I’d be up for one too. I think they could do a pretty good job with the images linked on the post above. I’m not a graphic designer but I’m pretty sure it’s hard to go from something lower resolution to something like a vector (which can in theory be blown up to the size of a building without a loss in resolution).
