Re: 18thC Shoulder Knot - uniform question

Not the best paint job, mate, and I posted these before. The home made decals can "bleach" when they get put in water, so I've redone the artwork and will get them pro printed on a 2400dpi CYMKW laser. So I can't call anyone a nutter, can I? :-D BH_Light Troops crop.jpg BH_1BDEcrop.jpg Sam...

Lovely work, Donald.

Where's v.Seydlitz and his kürassiere when you need them?

Re: 18thC Shoulder Knot - uniform question

Good work, GM. .....bit of a nutter though, right? EB, I put decals on the mitres of 18mm SYW figures and, on occasion, build 1/32 WWI aircraft- including making my own sparkplugs for the engines (proof below). So I don't think I can call anybody else a nutter just for adding a few shoulder knots. :?

Hungarian flags, German uniforms? Regiment Graf Drăculea von Siebenbürgen, aka Vlad's Own, perhaps? I agree with Peeler- the white with blue looks good.

How do you keep track of all those facts? :-D

Re: Some SYW Additions: British Cavalry & More Swiss

Well done, mate. We seem to have a taste for the same units. Or is it because you've built every British unit, including the 1st Sanitary Company (aka The "Blowflies")?

Re: Advice on making stickers for dice

If you can get the blue to match that looks good. That's fairly easy with a decent graphics programme, even a freebie like paint.net. Use the colour sample tool to read the dice colour in the photo and set that as the background colour for the spots and star. It may not match 100%, but it should be...

Re: Advice on making stickers for dice

The design wouldn't be a problem and the transfers would just need to be sized to fit onto the flat space on the dice. Super easy...barely an inconvenience :D True, Paul. So what you'd want is something like this: T_Irish_Guards.png The blue background would be measured from the die face photo and ...
