Workshop

A very light polishing will finish these steps of the work, to be sure that the tool forms will not be affected.

Now, I can fix the definitive aspect of the coat, with the colors, strictly following the heraldic code rules.

There are 2 way to do this :

• The polychromy : modern style, full colored.

• The heraldic code : no colors added, they're just represended by an heraldic representation. Here's some examples :

  "Azur" : this is the blue, coded with horizontal lines.
  "Gueules" : this is the red, coded with vertical lines.
  "Sinoples" : this is the green, and coded with lines going from left to right
  "Pourpre" : this is purple, with diagonal lines, from upper right to lower left
  "Sable" (sand): this is black, crosslined with vertical and horizontal lines.

  And the both "metals"

  "Or" (gold): just dots.
  "Argent" (silver) : this stays white.
