Title: Any good source for Russian colonial flags?
Post by: Jonas on March 01, 2011, 05:14:19 PM

I am currently painting my Hinterland miniatures and now I need a banner for them.

So is there any good source for printable Russian colonial flags? I would be happy if it was something colourful and it does not have to be 100% historical correct.

Thanks

Not printable but Redoubt do some in the Bodys Banner range.

If you have something in mind I could knock one up for you along the lines of the ones I did for Malamute/Boothill

@ Svennn:

I don't really have any idea as I know next to nothing about the subject. I am not sure I what was done for Malamute? Have any pics?

@ chantyam:

Oh, I was only searching Russian Colonial Flags, which did not bring up much usefull, your search brought me to this:

This might be useful, it looks quite good, but I am still open to suggestions.

Oh, I can see I also have to be aware of what I choose, the google search gives more than one flag used by neo nazis, I wouldn't want that.

Would just the center shield do? You can never go wrong with St. George.

I'm thinking it's also not uncommon to see a banner with the orthodox cross, but I could be way off here.
