Royalist Colours (Flags)

[Correus]

I've got ask...what's the pinkish squiggly things on Astley's flags?

Nice one with the silk texture - it really does make it look professional.

Confession time: I meant to add one, but forgot I'll add one to the template at some point this week and update the image file linked in the first post. I'll also look at changing the image to Png or Tif format, does anyone have any suggestions one what the best format to use is ?

The pink (it's supposed to be red, but I need to work on it a bit) squigly things are Hawk Lures: http://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglossf.htm. I took it from the design from the Osprey Edgehill book (pg 77).

And thanks all for the positive noises.

That silk is brilliant, I have made mine with a texture, but I think I have probably overdone it, any chance of the psd with layers so I can pinch your silk texture if that's not being too presumptuous.

They look ace!
With the silk effect the only difference to my Flags of War colours I can identify is that the edges of the flame motif are crisper.
I am stunned and take my hat off, Sir.
Can you do Rupert's Blewcoats, please!!!????

I forgot to say, that you've only just about managed to ask for the most difficult to do set of colours

Still, I'll have a go if you have any sources. I have Pike & shotte, WH ECW, and some pictures from the end of this page:

Any idea what i should use ?

I've also been creating my own for 28mm. Here are some Royalist ones, not full size of course;)

I used GIMP not Photoshop. I took a silk texture jpeg from the web and put it as a layer behind the flags, then changed the opacity of the flags to 70%.

Here is the silk jpeg: ( needs resizing)
