Pete, thanks for coming onto the forum to explain.

Based on Fred's recommendation, I ordered a set of your fabric Yorkist banners last week (received within 2 days, excellent service, thank you) and can only agree they are really lovely. I'm looking forward to popping them all onto some additional standard bearers  :)

I think you've achieved your aim - they really do look like hand painted flags. Lovely work.

How best to glue the two sides together and shape them? PVA?
Ta.

Richard

Richard, at the Tactica I had a talk about the flags with the guys from Black Hussar miniatures. They uses glue only on one side and then put it together. After this he forms it. I think I didn't forget something.

Hi Richard, thanks for buying them.

With regards to putting the cloth flags together I find Pritt stick or similar the best to use just cut the flag out with a sharp craft knife and straight edge (a blunt one will tear and stretch the sheet) then fold the flag in half.

Apply the glue to one side and leave for a couple of minutes to get tacky then stick together using a light source, usually the window, to line it up. Leave the flag to dry and once it has you can shape it; the cloth holds up well to some serious shaping once the glue has dried.

Cheers Pete

Just a quick update on the eponymous Pete and his flags.....

Armed with cracking info from Stuart Mulligan, Pete is now making sets of flags for Henry VIII's army in France, 1513, for me and a couple of other masochistic Henricians (FoG:R in my case).  First set - Lord Chamberlain, Sir Henry Willoughby, Sir Richard Wyngfeld, and Lord Home - can be seen on Pete's blog page:-

Just to add 'grist to Pete's mill' - he's also released a new Burgundian sheet too.
Great flags as usual - here's 3 of them used on my Burgundian unit.


Cheers, Simon.
