By that stage all the novelty has vanished and it becomes an awful grind. I have to keep inventing incentives to make myself do it. For infantry the secret, perhaps, would be to paint the flags last as the moment you finish mounting them onto the waiting flag bearers is always the best bit.Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-65778356972599116422018-11-05T05:42:54.928+13:002018-11-05T05:42:54.928+13:00They're really very compatible with Hinton Hun...They're really very compatible with Hinton Hunts, Ian, or at least they are with the bigger and chunkier ones.

Enjoyed reading through your 'fizzy flag' post, I was surprised that you don't actually paint the flags flat before bending round the flagstaff, but it does make sense to avoid any damage afterwards. Looking forward to the Chasseurs as I'm currently painting eight of the same big beasties.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-49052288766205324572018-11-04T21:47:45.269+13:002018-11-04T21:47:45.269+13:00That's a good trick with the basing.
