I received a message on Facebook asking if I sold my flags. I don’t, but I did him a couple of sets as I enjoy doing them.
Zoltan’s 666th regiment and a Werewolf regiment both regimental and colonel’s colours.
I was a bit miffed that my metallic Sharpies don’t have a super fine point. It might be something I invest in after the madness of Christmas.
The kids and I made our own air drying clay the other day.
We had some good fun building our storage tree.
The tree is ready to paint. It might get based as well.
HELP ME!
I am really getting into doing these, made more flags and painted nothing over the last couple of days, I think it is because they are so easy to do.
They look better curled and flapping than on the piece of paper. Obviously all of my chaps are holding flags in at the very least a strong breeze.
On the next one I might try to get a drooping flag. I am not sure whether it is possible due to the nature of the paper.
I decided to do a few more, not quite sure why as I only have one standard bearer.😱
I have done some dragons too as they seem an undeady kind of charge for their regimental colours.
To be honest it is quite relaxing, more relaxing than painting figures. If you mess one of these up it can go in the bin and another page can be printed easily.
I think I might have a problem😂
Regiment II
I had another bash at a regimental colour’s today.
Black and red this time
Instead of paint I gave these a go.
I used the brown on the reverse side to make a shadow, I may have overdone it in places.
Updated Regimental colours …
I had another go at the colours tonight. Much happier with the bat, however I have realised that the chain around its neck has blended into the background colour of the circle….
I may just get rid of it to avoid the problem – I didn’t have a very fine sharpie – to be honest I would have probably got a better result with silver paint instead of the pen.
the size works well with the colour bearer. I realised today that he is missing the top of his pole ( unlucky chap) so IÂ have added a bit of straw and will add a skull to the top.
Still got a lot to do to this chappie, not to mention the other seven.
Once the flag is glued on properly and shaped I don’t think it will look too bad for a first attempt.
Regimental colours…
I had a mess around with some felt pens and sharpies today. The bat needs improving upon but the regimental colours will look something like this.
Some interesting colours here!
Instead of all of the zombies being the same colour I decided to go for some variation.
Hopefully when I put a wash on them they will blend together more.
I also got a bit more done on the ghouls.
What colour is a ghoul???
I spent rather a long time thinking about this, ghouls are mortal and not technically undead. They inhabit crypts and graveyards and the like but aren’t zombies. I watched a whole load of YouTube videos and quite a lot of people are painting them in a necrotic flesh type colour, rather than in a colour of someone/thing that never gets out in the sunlight.
I, therefore, am experimenting with a grey undercoat for the skin tone with a flesh coloured wash. We shall see how that comes out.
I managed to get the green looking the colour I wanted, it took a while!
I basically made another base coat of Phtalocyanine emerald with some khaki, then built up from there.
