I wish everyone who visits my blog and enjoys my flags a Happy Christmas and New Year. 😀 Lots more flags to come in 2023, I hope...
I did think of doing one of my fantasy flags, as I did last year, for my Christmas post but then thought I'd rather do some real flags if I am going to put in some effort - and these French flags do have a slightly Christmassy look about them with their red and white (and blue).
Charrié says that the Colonel's flag carried the arms of the Goyon de Matignon family; these come in several different flavours so I have chosen those of the right period for the flags, I think. No doubt someone will tell me if I have got it wrong!
Merry Christmas, David! All of your flags have constant gifts to the hobby. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roger. :-) More gifts on the way in the coming year, I hope!

Terrific flags, fascinating. It would be great to see some fantasy flags here too later.

Merry Christmas, David! Thank you for a year of your wonderful flags. Good to see your efforts will not be flagging in the New Year. Ho Ho Ho!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon. :-) Yes, I do indeed hope not to be flagging with the flagging in the New Year... ;-)

Thank you, Willz. :-) Without seeing them with splendid troops like yours it would be only half the pleasure!

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

As I started wargaming with a rule book (Charge! by Brig. PeterYoung) which had fictional armies and states I like generic flags, but if I’m painting a specific brigade then I would try to paint all the battalions present with their own colours.
ReplyDeleteI would also paint a standard bearer with a fictional flag, sadly with little imagination☹️ .
Thank you for commenting. Charge! is a great book - and I have enjoyed for many years doing flag commissions for people's ImagiNation armies. The possibilities for fictional flags are almost endless! If you have pictures of your ImagiNation armies, I would love to see them, please. :-)
DeleteAll the best,
David.
