Thanks George, you're a gentleman and a scholar (all of which are true)  :)

Have you considered using some of the Byzantine Ikons as reference for banners- I did print one off showing the Archangel St Michael for use as a Cossack banner.

I did some Cossack banners for a friend (years ago) by cutting out the
pictures of CD covers from a catalogue. Classical music ones provided some
very nice religious Icon type banners.

Yeah, I've got a quite a few taken from mosaics the 6th CE Eastern Roman Empire saved and many are already being worked on- well experimented on might be more accurate :) . Just 28mm scale to start off with. the 400mm x 400mm stuff can wait until later ;) :)

If you have anything from the 6 CE please email them to me George.

Thanks :)

I've been trying to improve my photography and editing as my last efforts to do so were two decades ago! It's amazing how lazy digital technology can make us all.
