Fighting 15s 15mm Bavarian flag review

Hi Guys, I bought fighting 15s, 15mm Bavarian flags, I did a google search for pics of this product before I bought them, but was unable to find anything, so I thought that others who want to see these before buying them would want a review, these cost 2.95 UK pounds, you get 8 flags in 4 sets of Leibfahne and Ordinarfahne, these were carried by the 1st and 2nd Battalions of each Regt, the set I bought was the 1808 pattern, from what I can tell there is not much info on which flags were carried by which Regt, so they are unlabeled (if anyone has any info about this, please let me know, I can't find anything) I can't attest for the accuracy or size of these flags( they are labelled as being designed for use with AB figures, as ABs are 18mm they maybe larger then other 15mm flags, I am unsure) but I can say these flags are little works of art, and fit AB figures just fine, I highly recommend them.
They can be found here http://www.fighting15sshop.co.uk/index.asp



Bavarian 2nd Line Regt ready for basing

Hi guys, things have been really slow on the hobby front these last few months, but I finally have this unit ready for basing, I have used Fighting 15s very nice Bavarian flags. The first and second regiments had red facings with  white and yellow lacing respectively, I'm pretty happy with how these came out.

15mm WIP Bavarian 2nd infantry Regt

Hi guys, for various reasons I have been in a bit of a hobby slump lately, and have been uming and aring about what to work on to get out of it, and have decided on painting my 15mm Bavarian collection, I have painted a few of these AB Bavarians before for my mate, and did a good job, but I want these ones for my collection to be the best I can do, these are about 60%-70% done, I have never done Non Metalic metals before, so was thinking of trying it on these, but to be honest I get a little nervous trying new techniques. These will be for the 2nd infantry Regt, with yellow lacing. I think the details on the faces are a little soft, I may need to do some more washes, to bring out the details,  these are all ABs except  one of the standard bearers, and the sapper, all comments welcome,

15mm Bavarians in Greatcoat conversions finished

Hi guys, got caught up in real life over the last week, but have now finished this unit (almost, just need to paint the officers sash) they are pretty plain wearing their greatcoats, but I'm not aware of any other 15mm Bavarian's in greatcoats, so at least they are unique, I left the officer coat less so you can tell which unit it is, I painted this one as the 9th, heads are from AB Bavarians, bodies are AB Old Guard.
