Well, this weekend I finished the last of my planned badge patterns. As expected, the Order of the Crucible badge was the toughest of them all, and I'm not really happy with how it turned out. The star in the middle is OK but I really don't like the way the concentric rings around the outside turned out. The red rings are supposed to be much narrower and the yellow raised rings should be much more prominent.
The problem is my tools won't really let me make the rings much narrower, so I may have to rethink how I do them. Maybe if I use cuts instead of embossing the rings? It might help with the evenness of the rings as well.
Because the lines on the star and the rings are so narrow, it also made it really hard to paint it cleanly, even using my smallest brush.
That being said, I got the weave of the star lines right and it looks not too bad so it isn't a total write-off.
I think this will go in the "needs-work" category before I do it for anyone for real though.
