Any recommendations for material from which to make banners for titans? I've used normally printer paper in the past but it never turns out right. What do you use?

I'm thinking that greaseproof paper might be a good choice. Has anyone used that?

I've used regular paper on mine, just printed it out and glued the two halves together before trimming it.

After searching the net in the past, I am thinking of cutting up a toothpaste tube as I read that it makes a perfect surface for such a thing.

The old metal toothpaste tubes? Can you get them anymore?

You can buy special paper for Ink-jet printers designed for doing iron-on transfers for shirts. Print out your banners and iron them onto actual cloth perhaps?

Metal tubes of tomato paste are good (minus the paste ;) ).
Also, disposable contact lens stiff foil covers (maybe a bit small for a titan).

All I know is that I still have toothpaste in a tube. I was going to use whatever it was to make some banners as it would appear stronger than paper and able to hold a 'fluttering' shape

I use plasticard and paint all banners freehand. Works for me in 28mm, 15mm and also in 6mm, and it has a very high resistancy against nearly everything.

The metal foil off of wine bottles works great.

If you weren't drinking before, now you have a reason.

I used banners from the space marine and terminator accessories sprues on my reaver, and was very happy with the results.

Hi,
I normally use the paper type office labels and wrap them around and cut to size, then paint them with bleached bone gw paint
leave it to dry then deform them by hand to make them look real! works well, give it a try
