Standard bearer of Bartolomeo Colleoni; I've two of these painted and enough evidence to complete 4 flags in total  however I'm going to crack on with more Sforza  and a few Milanese flags next. Flag printed on paper and the figure is Wargames Foundry.  Cheers Pete

Not the Italian Wars but close enough, here's my representation of  Sir Thomas Neville of Thornton Bridge; Front Rank WOR figures . These figures have been painted and lying in the draw for a couple 4 years so I thought I'd base them, add the flag  and put them on ebay to help fund my Italian Wars armies. The flag is hand painted and it's the first time in ages that I've painted a flag that small in along time and i'm quite chuffed with it.

Figures with Gothic style pointy shoes from the Triumph of Maximillian . The first printed version of this was produced in 1526 however as far as I can make out the plates were produced sometime between 1512 to 1519 however someone might be able to shed more light on this.
