Transfers and Hand-painted Crosses

THE SHORT VERSION

Transfers keep chapter symbols consistent in size and shape, while a freehand method begins with an eight-pointed star and adds V-shaped tips before filling the arms. White can repair untidy edges, and red crosses offer a striking alternative. Wood advises practising with diluted paint on paper first, making the method a manageable next step after finishing the basic squad.
