Painting shield and kettle helm to use with the Teutonic variant of my kit!


Do you know what designs to paint on a shield for the 1250 Teutonic knight kit? Sorta need to know so I can paint mine as well.

I'm using spray paint as well to paint mine as well Gonna use painters tape to make sure I can put the cross on. Don't know how to paint or draw so thats my only option.

Well, I ended up changing tactics a bit. The helm needed to start over, since the primer didn't stick (I didn't clean enough of the oil off). I sanded it all off, re-primed, and am now hand-brushing the black on.

The shield mostly did OK, but the paint flaked a little at the edges of where I masked the cross, and inside the cross a little. So now I'm going back over the sprays with brush-on paints there too.

I should have both ready for DoK.

Guess I'll have to use different paint then, though I dont have much time so it's running short.

I think the sprays are fine, you just have to make sure the surface is super-clean first.

brake cleaner *might* work well for cleaning as long as it dries first

On my helm, after a thorough run-over with the wire-wheel on the drill, I wiped it down with rubbing alcohol. Seems good so far.
