Modeling Crusader Era Flags

November 8, 2023

After quickly painting up the Crusader Cogs, I decided I wanted to experiment with making Crusader Era flags.

I tend to bootstrap these projects when I can and in this case I din’t have the spare cash or time to order off the shelf 15mm flags (some of which are excellent btw!)

So I had a brainwave… I use and experiment with AI quite a lot in my spare time, and ChatGPT had just started becoming multimodal so it could not only reply in text but also use the DALL-E3 engine to render images.

Could I work with my AI pal to create some flag designs?

I think the answer was a resounding yes if you read the dialogue above. (Yes I do indeed say please and thank you to AI… as you never know!)

Anyway, I sent the corresponding designs to my printer and set to work to try and create posable flags using copper tape as a mettalic core to the flag to give it poseability.
