Diamond Dave - Buco J-21

[Superfluous]

Does anyone know what weight the shinki horse is?

I think Shinki HH weighs 2.x pounds.

The actual horses used by Shinki are not horses at all, but rather, Unicorns raised by elves in Atlantis, and they are lighter than a feather.

2.5oz? It's midweight isn't it? I always get confused with my elves,fairies and goblins. It also depends I guess if they are the same unicorns BK uses/ breeds or if they are the free range ones in the wild.

Soooo... Shouldn't that Buco be finished by now?

 

[A-1]

Haha. I think he's not started yet, actually. But D told me I'm gonna get some photos of the production. So, there'll be some photos here soon, I hope. Haha.

 

[ProteinNerd]

I really hope you get one of his masterpieces, cant wait to see it.

 

[Bunyip]

I can't wait to see it.

 

[mendelboaz]

Same here!!

Shinki hh arrived. And it's gorgeous. That's all I've heard from D. Haha. But it's good news.
Hope he starts working the jacket this week. Got some delay because of festive days and all.

It's a dark seal. Will get a black dye soonish.

Ok, I've changed my mind. Again.
Put in the final order!!
SHINKI Horse Hide, Dark Tea Core, Bordeaux dyed, covered in Black.
I'm a happy boy.

Congratulation ..great choice .....once you go shinki is hard to go back ....can't wait to see it..

 

[A-1]

Just wanted to let you know that the delay is due to my shakiness in decision. I had a long conversation with D about making an A2 civilian model instead when I saw the hide. I just thought it would be perfect for a olive drab knit A2.
Buuuuuuuut, I'm back on track with the J-21 now. Maybe it's a project to be pursued later on. We'll see.
Now D is ready to go and can start cutting the leather and working on the J-21.
Peace! (Now more than ever)

Stay focused mate! I'm dying to see this jacket. No A-2 until you have your J-21.....

 

[A-1]

Haha. Thanks! It's really hard to stay focused.
The leather I've seen just screams A2.

 

[navetsea]

have a reversible jacket, one side A2, and when you flip it over it would become a MC jacket

Wait, I'll talk to D about it!

That Shinki....one hand holds the cup of coffee...other hand, use your imagination...

 

[dudewuttheheck]

That leather looks incredible. My first real leather jacket was shinki... 2 more jackets later and it's still all I have ever owned.
