I normally base a colour party with two musketeers in the front row, but having an excess of drummers in the metal mountain, I decided a different combination for this regiment.

Saxony IR6 Prinz Karl Maximillan
Some progress make on this Saxon regiment with another couple of stands completed. I was contacted to say that the flags I have used are from a later period, but they have been so wonderfully painted by Mark A, and kindly gifted to me, that they need to be displayed.

The flags were quite fragile and I did not want to curve them too much in fear of damaging the paint. Hence the “flat” effect and the fact that they are blowing in the opposite directions. Gusty winds blow in all directions in Saxony, down the Elbe 😉. Still it shows them off well.

ReplyDeleteG'Day Graham, the flags look bonny, I hope the standard bearers can hold onto them in those gusty Saxon winds. As a matter of interest, what are they made off? Cheers Greg (Delta Coy)
ReplyDeleteGraham all looking very good and the standards ( late or not) are certainly enough inspiration to get painting the figures. I’m looking forward to doing some more Saxons when the new mould is made
