Hi ML,

Very nice work, well done with the painted flags!   Can't quite make out the gunners, are they in dark blue?

Flags are Pendraken printed, gunners are darker blue, but not French or Prussian dark blue

Lovely figures Lemmey and I particularly like the shot from the flank - shows the figures off to great advantage.

.  So, have you applied printed flags to moulded metal?  If so, congratulations,  I could never get it to look that good!   =D> =D> =D>
On the artillerymen, I had thought the blue should be as dark as Prussian and French, do you have any source that suggests a lighter colour?

They were bare staffs when I bought them, honest guv'nor!
I used the Osprey book, which describes them as dark blue, and the print which whilst blue, is no where near as dark as the Saxon infantryman on the previous page, on page 27, and took a punt!

Nice looking formation, Lemmey. I've always liked your "diorama" bases. Very effective.  8)
