A couple Navy flags I finished up today

I finished up these flags today.

Nice work!

For folks who want the imagery, please see:

Drew up a rough version of the U.S. Navy Submarine Warfare Insignia

Unfortunately didn’t properly work in Carbide Create at the time of its first posting, but seems to work well in the CC400 branch and later, and folks using other apps may find it of use — if anyone knows of a better original, I’d be glad to re-draw it again: [image]

For flags and how to put that sort of thing together please see:

Creating designs from elements

If one has a design idea one wants to make, usually it can be shown / mocked up as a pixel image, and put together using some basic elements. For example: [image2] All one should need for that is a portion of a U.S. flag, and the Marine Corps seal — fortunately, both are easily sourced on Wikimedia Commons: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Seal_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps.svg

These are awesome! I’m a submariner myself, still active duty. Great work! Are you interested in sharing the file? I understand if not.

[ChrisPowell]

They posted a link to the file for the dolphins above. You can put it together just like I did this one.

Thanks! I didn’t realize you had a channel. I appreciate the tutorial even more than the file! Watching your other videos now too. Great work!

On this submarine warfare one, how did you get the warfare device to not be red? I assume you stained the whole board prior to carving. Do you just mill a hair off the top to remove the color in that area?

[ChrisPowell]

I actually came through after machining with a small foam brush and stained everything.

Very nice, Go Navy! Glad to see the patriotic theme.
