Wardancer Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Everyone, I am making plans for horse regiments and I like the green horse barding because it is cheap and has an elven color but it has these awful dragon shields printed on. This drives me insane and I am looking for a way to cover that without painful paint experiments. Now, I had an idea. Taking a regular triangular shield, cutting off the handle, slim it down a bit with sand paper and glue in on. Repeat 4 times per barding. Even gives a 3d structure and the impression of even more armor. But I cannot judge if such a shield could cover the whole dragon logo. Could someone who owns a dark green horse barding quickly hold a shield against it and tell me how this relates? Does the shield cover the dragon logo fully? Does it overlap significantly? I am talking about the most regular triangular shield. I don't want to order a barding and then find out that this doesn't work. I would be very thankful for this. If this worked, it could be an idea for customizers everywhere, because many shields could be appied for different factions. Think for example of this one on the barding: Or this one: Quote
Darkdragon Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I don't have these with me to measure but wanted to ask you why not just order them and if the shield doesn't work out, just create a decal using sticker paper (address labels are good)? Quote

Thank you for the idea. I have never tried anything with decals and imagine it kind of complicated with how many DPI to usw and printing in a copyshop and paper sorts and so on. Maybe it's easier than I think, but so far I have not dared it. This would bring many new options. You got me thinking but I'll try the shield idea first. Quote
Wardancer Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) I solved the problem myself. Shields are much too big. There is no way this would look good But I had a better Idea which I need to test after christmas. If someone else is trying to make the barding faction neutral, please share your idea.
