Legio Astorum - Forge World Warlord Titan Build - WIP #26 - Custom TitanOwnersClub Decal

Hi Titanseers, my bestie Lord Halfpenny printed some custom decals of the glorious Titan Owners Club logo of which we are both registered owners and Admin Staff, and the Warlord Dominus Victoria is No.104. I wanted to acknowledge my kinship with these great hobbyists by flying my colours proudly on the armour. I thought I'd share the method for applying your own decals - you can print your own design on a printer using decal paper.

The link to the whole Titan Construction process can be found HERE.

Above you can see the decal cut out from the sheet, carefully traced around the edges - the cut-out is then used as a stencil to apply the white background the decal needs to show the colours - only professional decals have a white opaque layer onto which they print the colours. Without this base coat the underlying  blue would dull down everything.

The over-spray was carefully blocked out, neatening up the edges of the decal position. 

The decal was then applied, noting the small amounts of white showing around the edges and in the nooks and crannies.

When dry and dabbed down, the whole decal and surrounding area was 'Ardcoat gloss varnished for protection. I feathered the 'Ardcoat out at the edges so no visible line will be present once the shine is knocked back with Matt Spray.

And the finished decal, the white edges have been painted blue, the small areas of white in the crevasses (top of 'T' and inside edge of Banner) and then the whole area has been sprayed with two coats of Army Painter Matt Varnish Spray. A fine addition to the Titan's colours, and when completed the whole titan will be sealed with some Halfords Lacquer spray seal.

A quick update, I am plodding away with the remaining pieces, I can see the finish line now, just a month and one week to go to the Walk of Dominus Victoria's debut!

Dominus Victoria will Walk at the next Titan Owners Club UK event, where she will be battling alongside 80 (yes 80!!) other Forge World Titans! I will be sure to post lots of photos.  Remember to register your own Titans at Titan Owners Club, and if you want some cool Titan Owners Club merchandise they even now have a Spreadshirt Shop, all profits go to buying Titan sized terrain :)

Cheers, Princeps Siph :)
