Eikrem Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 That looks pretty good to me, especially if that is your first attempt at a banner. Very impressive.

WRappiii Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah, some cleaning up to do, but I don't think I could do that good on a free-hand banner... I'm afraid to try :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189864-standard-bearer/#findComment-2251687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannosaurus Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Nice freehand on the banner, marine is pretty rough, you should try thining your paints with water.

Nachocuban Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yea, I bought and painted that Honor guard box, about 6 years ago, and until recently I just had a BA decal on it. You should see the rest of the guard. :) As for the banner, I shrunk a banner down to about the right size, printed it out, and laid it next to the mini as I painted it. The only thing that's not 'freehand' was the black frame of the wing where the feathers come out. For that I cut the black part out of the paper, and traced the paint though, and then just worked out from there for the rest of the banner.

Capt. Lysander Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Nice freehand. The colours work well. I like the detailed way it was painted, and how everything is centered around the middle:the cup (I know there's another word I can't think of at the moment :lol:), and wings.
