I managed to get these finished and wrapped….
I shall carry on painting my undead artillery and plastic militia sometime soon.
Ostarian Colours
I decided that my dogs needed some colours too….
This was the test piece, the sharpies I was using were a little blunt. I will have to get myself some superfine ones.
I will have to purchase some standard bearers to add the colours to 🙂
The one thing I am beginning to wonder about is whether these are a little large for the figures. If needs be I can do what I did with the ghoul which was to glue a piece of plastic straw to increase the length (The original banner top had snapped off).
My artistic skills are ok, but I felt that I wouldn’t be able to do the eagle justice so instead I used some creative commons clip art for the designs as well as border art on Publisher.
Colours …. Again
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.
Air Drying Clay
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.
Even More Colours
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.
More Colours
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.
Colours, a bit carried away.
I think I might have a problem😂
Lunchtime Colours
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.
Teatime Colours
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.
Save The Colours
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.
