Here's what the Chiappa 1911-22 looks like: http://www.gundigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/26/gun-review-chiappa-1911-22/Chiappa-1-450.jpg Yea, I was kinda going for the look of TM's sidearm, but for the price, this is fairly close for me. I changed the grips on my SS Taurus .45, but I haven't...

I got a good picture of the "Established" script so I drew that, and I got a good look at the "UNION MADE" / "MADE IN U.S.A." text, and immediately recognized it as Windsor typeface, which is very distinctive (and has been around for over 100 years). I always think of Windsor as the Woody Allen typ...

Outstanding. Right on I was going to give you some advice on some subtle modifications based on your earlier first draft but you did them already off the last pm. Good job!! Thanks for sending the pictures and the dimensions. It would have been an impossible project otherwise. I made some more twea...

Almost finished: http://i.imgur.com/vtP69DZ.png The typefaces/graphics are all correct now. I got a good picture of the "Established" script so I drew that, and I got a good look at the "UNION MADE" / "MADE IN U.S.A." text, and immediately recognized it as Windsor typeface, which is very distinctive...

That kid has to be the first person in TV or movie history to make a successful getaway on a pedicab. Those things weigh 150 pounds, about 5 times heavier than a typical bicycle. Of course, in reality, someone jumping on a pedicab while being chased on foot would guarantee they would caught. Not onl...

Another rough draft; more complete than the last one, but still incomplete: http://i.imgur.com/AYPpieq.png I redrew the "p" and "s" in "Coops" based on the clear picture of those two letters, and I drew the "twin thistle" thing located above the "p" and "s" (definitely not an owl, bear, or chicken)....

Maxim, Just pm'd you with some closeup pics. I'll send dimensions later The owl thing you mentioned is actually a Scottish twin thistle. Is J.L. Coops Scottish? Higgins was of Scottish nobility, correct? This label may have been designed by the propmaster or graphic artist and had some hidden signi...

I generally wear an XL, but it seems to depend on the manufacturer's sizing standards lately. I use Gildan Ultra Cotton T-shirts (100% cotton, 6.1 oz.) and I like them a lot. The black ones seem to shrink the most, which is perfect for me because I'm sort of in between sizes, but lean more toward X...

I wonder if Magnum's yearbook is actually Selleck's yearbook with his name overwritten. In that case I wonder what his old schoolmates thought of seeing their old pictures on Magnum PI. I found the actual page from the Grant High School 1962 yearbook......... http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff4...

MaximRecoil: Yeah, I see what you mean about the accent. The "ah" is much more subtle in the Maine accent. It's not as pronounced as in the Boston version (Car, as in "CAAHH"). Has there ever been a Maine accent correctly used in film? Not that I'm aware of. There aren't many famous actors who were...

J.J. Walters wrote:Very interesting charybdis1966, thanks! I'm relieved to know that he wasn't calling Higgins an "old knob".

I always thought it was just meaningless banter, i.e., the same idea as other "stock British phrases" such as "old stick", "old bean", or "old chap".

I completely understand if you wanted to just do one for yourself, just wanted to make it known that there is at least some interest should you decide to make a few. Yep, the football numbers were about the worst. More than a few were two colors, so registration always had to be considered, not to ...

MaximRecoil: Back in town, having suffered the better part of a week trout fishing. One must have one's priorities. I took a brief moment for a distraction of clearing gear, to take a quick look at the subject matter. You are absolutely correct in your statements concerning lowered and flared eject...

In line for a shirt.....if/when they become available. :magnum: Very "Magnanomous" gesture 1903bluepill....thanks for helping to make it possible. And MR....please keep us posted on your progress! I plan to. I'm at a standstill right now because I don't have a picture of the label for reference. If...

27 pages and no mention of France Nuyen (unless I missed it)? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/28/9c/0f/289c0fd3ef83a098a8b8592335db63ed.jpg I was going to mention "Bond Girl" Honor Blackman too, but I was misremembering. I was thinking she was in the Magnum, P.I. episode that was filmed in...
