The Prussians and Austrians have packs of foot officers with raised left hands and which are easy to add a wire flagpole. They also have a Prussian dragoon trooper who carries his musket in his right hand. Again, it's fairly easy to cut away the musket and add a wire flagpole. Of course, it's cost me more money and I have surplus figures, but I reckon the end result will be better than me trying to paint a flag.<br />cheers. <br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701879871669937678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-24129901949949907282016-08-14T16:31:57.476+01:002016-08-14T16:31:57.476+01:00@ Clint - cheers!

I'm very pleased with how they've come out :)<br /><br />@ Millsy - cheers mate! It's amazing the difference that a bit of highlighting can make :)<br /><br />@ Tom - thanks! Getting 3 to a base is a very tight fit but the close order look is worth the hassle :)<br />I went with painting the sculpted flags as I realised that cutting them off was going to be too much hassle and likely to require extensive resculpting of the figure afterwards. You might be better off getting standard bearers from another company or stay with the Essex ones as they are and just handpainting impressionistic versions of the flags :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-78615907828932772912016-08-13T11:15:07.433+01:002016-08-13T11:15:07.433+01:00Nice looking figures and the finished dragoons and...Nice looking figures and the finished dragoons and HG look good. I'm still amazed you can fit 3 Essex figures on a 30mm base, though he mass effect does look good. <br />And also much respect that you have the patience to do the cast-on flags. When I finally get around to painting my Essex SYW stuff I've decided I'm going to replace all the cast on flags with conversions and paper flags. Looking good.
