First and last

I have just completed this New Model Army pike & shot regiment for the ECW.

Image

It is the first NMA unit I've done...& the last ECW unit I will do. I have sizeable Covenanter & English Royalist armies & my friends cover the other two main factions (Parliament & Montrose). No more needed.

The pike & command stands are Tumbling Dice & SHQ 20mm metals & the musketeers are 3d resin prints. They represent Skippon's regiment & will probably serve with the Royalists in our big Show game in 3 weeks.

Very nice work indeed.

It reminds me on the Sealed Knot battle displays I saw as a child.

Just a thought, but I twist the flags slightly at a diagonal so that they drape downwards.

Personally, I think it looks more realistic but it’s a matter of taste.

Good luck with the game.

Best wishes,

Good tip -I went back & looked at some of your past photos to ensure I know what you mean. It does look realistic.

My method is to bend the flag over a pencil front & then back. And to turn the outer top edge in & the outer bottom edge out. Undoubtedly not as good as your method.

Possibly a bit late for me - one of the things if I'd only known years ago!

Although not one of my favorite periods, you've achieved a fantastic regiment, Donald. :drool: :drool: :drool:
