You found some tartan paint then?  ;)

I'm going to experiment a bit, which tartan did you want again?

Plan B is leather covers for the kilts :-[

Based up all three battalions and two Regimental HQ's plus (already have the MG companies done).

Mainly for looks, I have added battalion and regimental colours to each HQ stand, though there are clear examples of German regiments marching into Belgium with uncased colours at the very beginning of the conflict.

I have not chosen any specific units to depict but I have used flags from Pendraken's PNFL 71 Franco-Prussian flag sheet. I just used PVA to glue the flags in place and then"crease" them before the glue sets to make it look like they are flapping in the wind. Once dry I painted the edges the appropriate colours to complete the look. Quite pleased with the overall effect as the HQ's standout a bit amongst the masses of Feldgrau :)

Now just need to flock 60 odd bases and then add labels.    

I will take some pics once completed.
