Title: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Ian on 2013-05-22, 20:28:49: Here are the before and after shots of the gonfalon. Should be shipping any day now. I think they did an outstanding job!

Oh cool! I totally missed that thread on the AA, and just checked it out. That was cool of them to also show the DoK encampment from last year.

Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: SirNathanQ on 2013-05-24, 17:31:29: Very cool. Can't wait to see it up in our next encampment!

Post by: Sir Brian on 2013-06-11, 18:21:32: Man that is gorgeous! I really need to save up the scratch for one of these!

...Sigh all this wanting and not enough $$$. :'(

Yeah, it can be hard to pace ourselves. :) The good news is that these really are pretty inexpensive for what you get. They do a nice job at a great price.

Post by: Sir William on 2013-06-12, 15:32:23: I'll second that...altho as simple as my arms are, I might one day try my hand at it. But then, as Sir Edward said, it is relatively inexpensive considering the amount of time and attention that is put to it.

Post by: MacDimm on 2013-06-21, 19:38:03: How long was the turnaround time, if you don't mind me asking?
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Sir William on 2013-06-21, 20:20:30: For me, it was 4 weeks and one day from the time I placed my order til it arrived on my doorstep. Fantastic, if you ask me.
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Ian on 2013-06-21, 21:08:55: Mine was right around the same timeframe as Sir William
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Sir James A on 2013-06-21, 21:24:31: A month sounds about right, I don't remember it being overnight but it wasn't excessively long either.
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Ian on 2013-06-21, 21:58:08: The attention to detail is really good as well. My Coat of Arms isn't the most hand-painting friendly design because of the tiny teeth, claws and tongue that are a different color than everything else. Dirk and Arrow nailed it though. I would have been willing to wait much longer for the same level of quality. They do a bang-up job, and they keep you up to date with updates and photos, and they get your approval at each step before moving forward.
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Lord Dane on 2013-06-22, 06:21:13: Ditto. Four weeks is estimated timeframe. Mine is being done as we speak.
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Lord Dane on 2013-07-11, 12:20:10: Wah-La. The final product is in. They do great work. :) :)
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Sir William on 2013-07-11, 14:16:59: Yea, they did do a good job on yours Dane....
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Sir Brian on 2013-07-11, 15:36:39: Excellent detail! :)
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Sir Edward on 2013-07-11, 15:59:07: Very nice!
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Sir James A on 2013-07-11, 16:39:02: MORE pics or ban! :D

Congrats!

Post by: Sir Wolf on 2013-07-11, 16:43:19: wow that is awesome man! now don't change your coa again! lol
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon
Post by: Lord Dane on 2013-07-11, 21:41:10: No changing. But I might add some new personas in the future. LOL NOT!! 8)
Oh, and for Sir James ....
Title: Re: Dirk and Arrow Gonfalon

Excellent, you may stay :D

And don't be too quick to dismiss an alternate "persona". It's the best excuse ever for buying more than 1 of something.

True, but at least you're never bored, because you always have your alternate self to talk to. :D
