I’m pretty happy with the results!

Aside from the primer not sticking to the brass and the touch-ups being visible, they are exactly what I was after.

That brings me to 23:45 on the 31st of October (in Australia).

However the project won’t end here!

In the next few days, I’ll;

  • Fix up the primer.
  • Paint the non-banner bits, the pole and cross-arm.
  • Seal them with varnish.
  • Prime and paint the objective bases.
  • Get a game on!

I will come back and post the final results when they’re complete to official close out this project.

My lessons learnt from the project;

  • Mylar stencil material is too thick and springy to work on complex surfaces like these banners.
  • Removable vinyl is great as a stencil material, but make sure to seal the object with a good varnish before applying them.
  • Touching up errors with a brush may not match the airbrushed surface.
  • The overall method works well to achieve the effect I was after.
  • Need to think through primer on brass, maybe I’ll need to use a spray primer made for metal.  hopefully once sealed under a varnish it’ll hold out… I might need to make it a thick coat! Otherwise I’ll have to mask off everything and use an spray primer for metal on just the pole.

Do you plan to release the STL files for download / purchase?
