Saxon Flags

I was going to get some Saxon Flags from Maverick Flags but instead I knocked some out yesterday lunchtime at work using the flags Kronoskaf, MS Paint and a decent colour printer. 

Although cheap and cheerful they look ok on my Spencer Smith unit. Note the standard bearers are Tradition NCOs.

Spencer Smith Saxons

I recently picked up some painted SSM figures from a fellow AMG member. They included some which were painted up as a French infantry unit however needed a bit of TLC.

I have applied some paint and they have been transformed into the Saxon Regiment Konigen circa 1740-45. The Saxon army during this period have trousers in the same facing colours which makes them rather natty.

Here are some before and after photos

To finish this 30 figure unit I will complete with Gilder style basing and some flags from Maverick.

Saxon Hussars

This year has been pretty slow on the painting front.  What limited time I have seems to be spent on re basing.  

This morning I decided to re start painting my Saxon RSM Hussars. I have 12 of them that I started at least 18 months ago but I am finding really hard to motivate myself to complete.  So I got 6 of them out of their box and got the paints out.

These pictures show how far I got with them.

Let's see if I can get them finished by end of next weekend.
