<p>So i managed to get the bulk of the banner painted and its looking quite smooth although some of the top scrolls need touching up but i've only just started on them and im a bit too tired to carry on, hopefully it won't take me too much longer to finish the whole model. I love the small detail on the banner itself, it makes the painting somewhat easier in a way. I will be doing some sort of free hand work on his cloak and probably get some matt varnish to add to the glaze of red i want to apply to reduce the glossy shine that i always seem to get on red washes, but i gotta plan out the freehand first. Comments and criticism welcome</p><p> <img height="480" width="640" border="0" src="http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/8453/pict0532om8.jpg" alt="Honour Guard 03" title="Honour Guard 03" /></p><p><img height="480" width="640" border="0" src="http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3598/pict0534cj9.jpg" alt="Honour Guard 04" title="Honour Guard 04" /> </p>
