Pizzasemmel Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hey guys, after 3 long months i finally finished my internship. So maybe i will finally get to finish a few projects here ;) But since it seems i can't get enough of reallife artifacts, i first have to start a new one. This time: the black templar company banner (yes i am aware of the fact that there are no companies within the BTs and that are usualy only crusade banners, but maybe it's just some kind of personal heraldry i don't know) In my ingenious forsight i started designing one without having the slightest insight in sewing ( actually i have a bit but my only memory about it was that i hate it xD) It will be aporx. 1.5x0.7m, i have no idea how many hands feet and fingers this is in the prehistoric measurement system ;) As a basic cloth i chose natural linen instead of bannercloth, since i kinda like the idea of the BT being all puristic and monk like (wearing linen and ash upon your head...) And now to my problem. i have a few shapes (the eagle and the shield, the cross) that can be sawn on but the text for example would turn even me insane, so i will have to use a combination of applications and textil colour...if you have any experience with this kind of stuff let me know :) C&C is welcome and its not even too late to change things ;) FYI: the text running around says, in crappy latin: And even if the world comes tumbling down, he will stand secure against it and thank the god-Emperor (god it sounds awefull to translate qutations ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSpike Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Looking good! I was lucky when I designed a tablecloth that looked like an Altar Cloth, for placing over our Battle Table when not in use: My Mum! ;) It is no where near as intricate as yours and was done with all sections cut from cloth and sewn on to the main piece. While I know nothing of this Dark Art, I can see if my mum is interested in passing on some tips picked up from a lifetime of mending my ripped jeans, making my silly designs, and occasionally doing something for herself! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuro Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Wicked design! I love ambitious projects like this. On the text front, I've had some success with fabric paints in the past. Might be worth looking into/doing a test run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzasemmel Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Look GREAT man, show the heretic and the xenos no pity!!! I for sure won't! :) It is no where near as intricate as yours and was done with all sections cut from cloth and sewn on to the main piece. Well, that's what i was up to the past day or so too...sewing many small pieces onto a slowly growing masterpiece :cuss Wicked design! I love ambitious projects like this. On the text front, I've had some success with fabric paints in the past. Might be worth looking into/doing a test run. What i did now was to use Edding 8040, some kind of Textil marker. works pretty well i guess - allthough i only used it for the text thus far So here we are, ~50% finished. i'm not realy convinced this far, but i hope i will like it better when its finished ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
