Several people have asked for a video on how I have made the flags for my 6mm Wars of the Roses project, so here is a step-by-step tutorial on how I make flags for 6mm miniatures. Making flags for 6mm miniatures is no different from making much larger ones. A bit more fiddly to be sure, but the process is essentially the same.
As always I would love to hear from you. Do you make flags the same way? Or do you have any tips and suggestions that other viewers would find helpful?

I cheat with my 6mm SYW figures. I buy H&R which come with flags on them. Easy. I say 'easy'. Trouble is you then have to paint them!
ReplyDeleteYou're right about Baccus and other flag poles.
