9/10 ... knocked off a point because you customised a knight by using one of those 'diaper'-style belts  :'( :'( :'(


 ;D ;D ;D

Those diaper-like belts are cool. And if you turn them back to front, it looks like your knight is wearing a thong! :hehe:

Hi!
I use both rub-off transfers and water-slide decals. The water-slide decals are too thin to be used on dark surfaces (the colour of the part underneath shows through) but are really easy to apply on curved/grooved surfaces. The German Knight has a water-slide decal on his chest, and the Yellow and Swiss Knights wearing cloaks have one one their cloaks too. I only bought laser printer water-slide paper and it was a mistake for I cannot set my laser printer to print colours correctly. Though it's a CMYB printer, it will only be set on RGB AND won't print from a Mac which I use for designing... :wall: Should have thought twice before I bought this one.

It's a Konika Minolta Magicolor 1600W. It was really cheap, but doesn't work with the Mac OS X, so I have to record every project as a .pdf then send it to a PC to print it. Unfortunately, the printer doesn't have CMYB settings so the colours change! I could create my designs under RGB settings but the RGB colours don't match the Playmobil colours (they're always too dark).

Cheers,
Arnaud.

These are all so spectacular, Arnaud, that I possibly couldn't choose a favorite.  Excellent work! :wow:

Hey guys!
Missed me? Well, I'm back anyway!
Here's a few more knights  :0
They're my latest. I've been trying to expand the size of the designs on the chests and even let them cover the top of the legs for some designs.
Please, tell me what you think!
@Gis: I know you'll read this. My printer crashed. When they say you shouldn't use refilled cartridges in an HP printer, when they MEAN you shouldn't. I'll buy a new one on saturday...PM me!





Schlüss,
Arnaud
