ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Raising my Standards...



Greetings...


Due to a very painful sinus infection I did not feel like doing much hobby this weekend...
The one thing I did do was make some War of Spanish Succession French Cavalry Standards...




I decided a little while back to treat myself... and get some French Cavalry painted... Hurrah!
I received an email telling me that they are now ready... Hurrah! Hurrah!


Once I have flagged and based them I will get them posted...




All the best   Aly

    Mighty finely done, hope you are feeling better. On the bright side it saw you flagging in a good way too.

    Ye Gods man those flags look fancy. I bet the donkey wallopers that go with them will look just as good. Sorry to hear you've not been feeling well...but at least its not man flu, which as we all know can be a killer!

      Thank you Mark...

      God bless Photoshop is what I say...
      Yes not quite up to the legendary man flu...(I believe girl flu is worse)... but my doctor did tell me off for not getting it seen to sooner... picture 62 year old man looking like a 12 year old dork... “ sorry miss I won’t do it again “...
      Actually probably best you wipe that image from your brain...

      All the best. Aly

    Although not pleasant at other times, there's something extra nasty about summer colds and upper respiratory troubles (sinuses among them): hope you're up and around soon. Lovely flag treatments: the cravats in particular are a nice touch.

      Thank you Ed...
      Definitely feeling better...
      The cravats are courtesy of Front Rank... they really do make a difference.

      All the best. Aly

      Thank you Jonathan...
      It’s been one of these times where I didn’t know how bad an infection I had until I started feeling better...
      You would think I would have learned by now....

      All the best. Aly

    Back in the days when flags were real flags! One of the reasons that I don't hand paint cavalry standards...

      This is where I really love Photoshop...
      There is no way I would even try to hand paint standards like this...

      I have always felt that if possible , painting toy soldiers is one of the best medicines out there...
