FLAGS FLYING

I needed a flag for my rebel standard bearer and decided to go for the prototype before the stars and stripes. I find this design interesting because it has the union flag in the corner with stripes rather than the 13 stars for the colonies. It makes me wonder if this could have been the flag for the Americas if a peaceful independence was achieved like Australias flag today. Whats funny is it is almost identical to the standard of the Honorable East India company which at this time was planting it’s flag around India.

The Early Rebels weren’t Rebels as much as they were “Armed Negotiators”.

A lot of people at that time would have been content with concessions and staying part of the Empire. It wasn’t until after the Olive Branch Petition got rejected that secession picked up steam.

The minis are looking great, I have zero skill whatsoever with Flags and always seem to ruin them, how did you go about attaching the flag and getting the waves in it?
