I'm stumped. <br /><br />Ion: I like the proper heraldic lingo, sounds good. I think you have it right as well. It was simply that the fake folds gave the beak a swollen look. I tried a different texture overlay and that had a better effect. And as Fitz-Badger points out, only button counters could notice it when printed in scale. In my immediate situation, the flags will fly above 18 mm figures and that should hide lots of faults.Jiminhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163197311165054930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-59782915449218034672012-12-27T00:25:23.533-08:002012-12-27T00:25:23.533-08:00I like the flag.

The depiction of heraldic creatures seems as much as anything susceptible to differences in style. As the story develops and builds, it is becoming the more interesting to follow.<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-89082202876996944192012-12-25T09:00:00.491-08:002012-12-25T09:00:00.491-08:00I did not recognize that as a pelican-I thought it...I did not recognize that as a pelican-I thought it was one of the crows from <i>Song of the South</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-74984758577103856612012-12-23T07:38:04.942-08:002012-12-23T07:38:04.942-08:00Wonderful flag!Wonderful flag!tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-16442307648811111662012-12-23T07:22:22.726-08:002012-12-23T07:22:22.726-08:00I think the flag looks quite good, and when it'...I think the flag looks quite good, and when it's reduced down to size for miniatures any flaws will also be reduced, so you may not notice any you perceive at the larger size.<br /><br />Happy holidays to you and yours!Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-34389608804701394392012-12-23T06:21:43.484-08:002012-12-23T06:21:43.484-08:00Hi AJ!

It sounds like things are going well and that you and your family are wringing all possible joy out of going back (to your) home. Well-deserved after all you have been through this fall. <br /><br />And yes, King Ivan did pull the fat out of the fire. It is hard to see how things could have gone better for his side. There is still some hard fighting to go, as the reunited Bordurian army has to be faced or they will retake Klow, and they are still more numerous than the Syldavians...

On the whole, I'd say the prospects are much brighter for Syldavia, when it could all have gone horribly wrong. <br /><br />A Merry Christmas to you and yours, and here's to much happy gaming in the New year.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.com
