Rooting Around - Turnip28 Spring Clean Challenge
Raising the Flag
My Regiment needs a flag to march under. There won’t be anything off-the-shelf to buy for such a personal force, so time to make something appropriate.
First thing was a find some inspiration for the design. I quickly decided to use the lozenge shaped 1804 Napoleonic French as a basis. The colours are pretty much well established from painting the models – violet/red and green, with some blue trimming. I picked a random number for the Regiment, and have named them the 17th Beetroot (had to be considering the colour of the jackets).
Simply glorious! 🙌🙌🙌
Ta very much. Not much left to do for this project now; got the Brutes on my painting table about half finished, and then onto making up a cavalry unit, which I’m quite looking forward to messing around with.
