Thanks for the video mate. My Confederate and Union units look class now, the flags really complete them when done this way.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. Glad it was helpful

[@pod1977pod]

Lovely straightforward guide. Painting looks perfect btw

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy

[@Brissebrajan]

Never thought about adding a bit of foil! i have been waiting for the pva to "cure" a bit before i manhandle the flags, they do look good.But foil makes it look way easier =) thank you for this video!

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. Yep the tin foil helps it to keep the shape you want.

[@seorwulf1049]

Very nice - if thats making a pigs ear of things - then I'm a unicorn - they look great! The small scales, especially from the old 3-foot rule, when en masse really are quite striking, they look more impressive than my 28mm Hanoverians

[@leont66wargaming31]

They do look really nice en masse. I will get back to these hopefully later this year

[@seorwulf1049]

Well thanks in part to you and Stu from miniature realms I have just ordered Push of Pike so feel free to do more of that! 😂

[@leont66wargaming31]

@seorwulf1049 😆😆 I’ll try 😂

[@johnmackrory8306]

Great video, would never have thought to use tin foil.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks John. The tin foil helps the flag to keep the shape

[@MiniatureRealms]

Love the use of the foil, never thought to try that, fantastic.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Yep it helps when you shape it. Holds its shape better

[@rebelsandredcoats265]

Outstanding Sir. 👍

Thanks buddy 😊👍🏻

[@IDICBeer]

I watched this the other day but forgot to comment, really good to see how you did it and the foil in the flag works really well

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Nik. Hope you’re well mate

[@thekameleon9785]

Awesome!

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy

[@philRminiatures]

Nice technique on these splendid flags!

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Phil

[@2007bing]

I use tin foil on my 28mm flags and they look great.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks mate. Yes it definitely helps with the 28mm flags

[@thracian5116]

About to do this on some epic ACW, the 7th Michigan infantry. My great great something uncle's regiment

[@leont66wargaming31]

Ah very nice buddy

[@BrushQuill]

Nice guide Leon. Good to say same as 28mm as I think some people panic with scale change.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy.

[@johnwayneeverett6263]

hello buddy thank you so much cousin.

[@aaronlowe60]

Nice guide mate

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Aaron

[@midlandergaming7319]

Thanks. Think I'll follow this method. Especially like the addition of foil to hold a wave appearance

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy

[@leont66wargaming31]

Just seen you have a KZbin channel. I’ll head over and give you a sub

[@midlandergaming7319]

@@leont66wargaming31 thanks. Appreciate any support and help with this game. Lol

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Nicely done Leon, in ve never used tin foil

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks mate. The tin foil helps hold the shape you want while it’s drying

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Nice idea Leon, beautifully done as well.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Cheers Leslie

[@GDWargames]

I do mine slightly different, i fold my flags to make sure i have a central fold line before adding PVA, and once i put the flags on i add a drop of superglue to the top of the flag pole to fix the flag in place while the PVA dries, :)

[@leont66wargaming31]

That’s a good idea to fold the flag first. I’ll start doing that. If only you’d told me before. I could of stolen that idea and claimed it as my own. Hahaha

[@GDWargames]

@@leont66wargaming31 lol why not, :)

[@maryhinge6334]

A tried and trusted method. Works a treat mate. By the way, presumably using half-sized units means you’ve found yourself short of command stands. Have you come up with a solution for that yet?

[@leont66wargaming31]

Yes I’m going to get some blue stuff and make some press moulds.

[@pancakepayneypayne6499]

I'm deffo going 6 stands and not 4. Really dont know why warlord went for 4 stands. Very nice mate

[@leont66wargaming31]

Cheers mate. Yep I don’t get it either.

[@kevingallagher2366]

Hi Leon Great show when painting do you use the stonrg tone for inking models after that do paint the same colour again trying to paint your way can you me show how to some paint sum models for if you have the time

[@leont66wargaming31]

Hi mate. Yes. The strong tone darkens the original colour so I apply it back over as a first highlight

[@BritishLegion666]

Top draw m8 .

[@leont66wargaming31]

Cheers mate

[@granapriego]

They are great Leon but they are way too wavy. ;)

[@leont66wargaming31]

Lol. Thanks mate hahaha

[@gunner678]

I still use your tin foil tip for flags. Looking good Leon. This scale is growing on me.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks mate. The more I paint these little dudes the more I like them

[@gunner678]

@@leont66wargaming31 I know what you mean. I'm still tackling the highlanders. Hard work but cathartic lol. It's become a challenge to improve on each one.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Lol. I’ve got some highlanders for these turning up soon.

[@gunner678]

@@leont66wargaming31 I look forward to seeing those. My dog for some reason has a real pension for the piper figures. I thought it was just the Airfix ones, but she isn't choosy at all. I find them chewed up under the wargames table. Bloody annoying lol.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Hahaha

[@profenestra]

This is great but where do you get the flagbearers?

[@leont66wargaming31]

They come with the miniatures. They’re the command strips.

[@seanuh60]

Is there any technique to folding the flags along the shadow lines?

[@leont66wargaming31]

I don’t tend to do that. I just fold them any direction. I guess you could take the extra time to follow the shading if you wanted but I’ve never done it that way

[@thekameleon9785]

How do you even do those tiny straps?

[@leont66wargaming31]

Lol. Very carefully. I have a painting guide for these minis. How I paint Epic British Napoleonic

[@MrGunnar177]

Are these the warlord flags?

[@leont66wargaming31]

Yes they’re the ones that come in the box
