progress on the 2nd christmas banner(on ret banner)

Recommended Posts

I'm starting off the with Dakka Pole because it would be that hardest I think to finish. Once its done I'm going to try and make a mold of it and IF it works I may be able to make copies for people. We'll see how it goes. (keep in mind, they are not finished yet)

because the banner has two sides, I did dakka banner on one side and put the RW symbol on the flip side.

Yum....sign me up for a copy, if you're able to make a mold.  I'm on to a new list with a dakkapole-toting DWCS in crusader flanked by crusaders ferrying thundernator squads followed by the bike-PFG-libby...but at 2000 points, I'd be making that DWCS a scoring thundernator squad and giving the dakkapole to a RWCS as an escort to the libby....

so here is the first try at the resin mold for the dakka / RW banner (for bikes).

The pic was taking at an angle thats why the top looks smaller than the bottom.

Another thought is that I will make a mold of the inner image for both sides, then make a mold of a blank banner. then while the 2 smaller images are curing, place it in the correct places. I will try that tomorrow and post the results.

Even so...that's not horrible.  I take the relief on a sculpt as a painting guide, it doesn't have to be flawless...decent paint will make a silk purse out of a sow's ear...hell, look what we did with GW's horrid sculpts in the 80s!

very true lol. still I wanna give it 1 more shoot tomorrow before I ship the finished one out then I'm starting on the other 2 banners. but now that I know how to do a full 360 mold, I can do a blank banner and it will save so much time to just do the middle parts.

Looks really good. Being on the edge of having my 1st Co finished I am looking at next and torn. Leaning towards bikes, but not sure I want to swallow $50/3 for Black Knights and Command Squad... I would like to kit bash characters though.

 

I look forward to see it painted

Speaking of, I've attached the spare dakkapole you sent me, PyroX, to a topper, and primed it. I'll start a WIP thread for a deathwing dakkapole bearer (yeah, it's a power-armor-sized banner, but it's going to be epic) soon. The boatload of 5th company banners are after that. Why a deathwing dakkapole? 3 crusaders=84 *twinlinked* shots at an effective 30", that's why! All the shooting of a conventional army (granted, coming from 3 models), and all the face-punching of a thundetnator list...having my cake and eating it, too!

Sorry I've been busy with college and I had to scrap the inner part of the banner and I'm almost finished with the 2nd try. I should have this thing done in the next week at the latest. I'll post pics as soon as its finished as well.
