About the skills I have no doubt you have it. When you can draw these superb carriers you can do badges too. Concerning PAINT in Windows 7 contra older PAINT the difference isn't that big ;) I can tell you that my first 100 badges were drawn in Windows XP PAINT and in many ways I use it when I got troubles with special difficult badges still ;)

I tend to agree with Bombhead. Excellent tutorial, but as you use MS-Paint for Windows XP why not post a second tutorial for that program as well?

:D The difference is really very little, but it's for practical reason I didn't use the XP. It's on my old pc which it's extremely slow and also give me some problems to see colour nuances (maybe you remember I've had these problems with different colour pixels in my first ships drawing!). But I will consider it ;)

With the Australian badges, how do you bend the text?

Rodondo asked the same question in the 'CoA parts sheet for naval vessels'-thread:

Hmmm... that's a really good question. In some text and drawing programmes you can mark your text and give it the curve you wish. But they are anti-aliased (in these programmes I know of) so the only way I know of untill now is the hard way. Drawing each letter :?
I think I'm being a little better now, but this part of badge-drawing is the part I hate :roll:
Unless you run into a text-curving program which can satisfy the SB-standard, you have to do like me :!:

Thanks mate. I tried using text boxes in MS Word and then pasting them onto my badges (albeit with little success). I will try and do them freehand in MS Paint.
