Finally finished my Danes

18th Century Guy · Post by **18th Century Guy** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 1:22 pm

I've been working on them for a while and I was waiting for my flags to arrive before I could fully complete the unit. The flags finally arrived and they look really good. Flags are by The Flag Dude for the Danes. I've also been working on a French Guard battalion and I decided to try Maverick Models based on the recommendations by people who frequent this site. I was not disappointed at all and the service by Stuart is right up there with the best. All figures are Front Rank.

That must be one of the excuses for Sweden to "liberate" the poor Norwegians of that Danish Devils 1815

Great looking Danes, 18th Century Guy, I like Rick's(Flagdudes) Flags too.
Are they 40mm printed on cotton?

Dazzling stuff,love the figs/flags. Really chunky bases!

Gunter,

The flags are around 45mm along the pole. Rick then sizes the rest of the flag accordingly. Yes, they are on the cotton or what many will call 'material'. One other thing I ask Rick do to is to turn OFF his white color. It has shading in it and I prefer the pure white look on most of my flags (where white is shown).

Blade,

I do like the chunky bases as it seems to make it easier for people to pick up the base instead of the the figures. A little less damage but overall I like the look and feel.

I can well understand this. I've seen white flags so heavily shaded that you'd think they were grey flags!

Nice units to be proud of.

very nice as usual. You must have a fair old WSS collection by now.
I like your bases. Unusual but well done

Aye they're braw! The bases seem gey big though. Aboot 1cm high?

PaulMc,

The bases are 1/4 inch thick which is around 7mm. I buy a 1/4 x 3 x 24 board at the local hobby store and cut them to the sizes I want.

Hi,

after some considerations I finaly made up my mind and will now order for my Napoleonic Saxons and their "friends" flags on the so-called 'material'. As I looked at the pictures I noticed some white bands on the flags of the garde francaise. Are they selfmade or has Rick attached them?

Cheers,

front rank sell finnials with the "ribbons" attached .

18th Century Guy · Post by **18th Century Guy** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 1:44 am

I used the Front Rank finnials as noted by Jim but Rick will provide a finnial and cravat all at the same cost.

I like the flag dudes style of flags. Does he do the flags finished , on the fly so to speak. They have nice movement in them. Also are they a standard size. I usually have mine slightly big , about 40 mm square
I think that there is a uk outlet as well ?

The Flagdudes flags all come with finials attached. At least for my Napoleonic British and Portuguese infantry. I'll be picking some more up from him at Salute next week, 1st and 11th Portuguese Cavalry, who had 1 standard per squadron! At least I only need 2 squadrons for each regiment.
