    Outstanding! The white faced red is quite a handsome combination and the flags are striking.

      Thanks Jon! :o) Napoleonic flags usually add that extra "appeal" to any unit, regardless how the figures are painted.

    These are pouring off the production line, but all high quality stuff. Very nice indeed.

      Thanks Lawrence! The Saxon Konig (Kings) Regiment figures were actually the first to paint and I must admit, look impressive after flocking the bases and adding the GMB flags. The Konig and Von Niesemeuschel Regiments were brigade together, 96 painted figures with white uniforms, red facings may look more appealing? need to take more group photo shoots of the regiments.....

      cheers,

      Thanks Chris! I think it would be awesome you to paint up Napoleonic units. i.e. Bavarian's or Wurttemberger' s. but, are you sure about the Elite miniatures? I would have thought you will get into Front Rank or even Perry miniatures?

      cheers,

    Hey! Thanks Phil! I really appreciate your visits and support. The GMB flags are little pricey, but great!

    I agree Pete, I like the Saxon flags too, but my favorite Napoleonic flags would have to be the Portuguese very striking colours....anyway, by adding battle flags/banners to units usually make the figures stand out during any table top wargame.

    In my opinion the best period to display flags/banners would have to be during Medieval/Renaissance/Great Italian Wars. I'm in awe ;o) sometimes, visiting other bloggers to view their painted Medieval/Renaissance/Great Italian Wars figures along with amazing colorful attached flags/banners very eye candy indeed!

    Thanks again Pete!
    cheers,
