Henry VIII's personal standard

It's been a quiet week on the painting front however have managed to finish Henry VIII's personal standard. unfortunately  I couldn't quite get the lighting right with this pic so a lot of the subtle shading on the white part of the flag has been 'lost' by the camera flash. Cheers Pete

Henry VIII's invasion of France 1513 sheet 2

Here's the second sheet for Henry VIII's invasion of France, the picture's a bit dark but I'm having a few problems with my camera at the moment. Many of these early Tudor flags can be used for the Wars of the Roses so I'll have to have a think  how I'll put the sheets together.

Henry VIII Invasion of France 1513

I've been asked a number of times whether I'd be interested in completing some flags for Henry VIII's invasion of France in 1513 and have always said no. However due to Stuart Mulligan's inspirational Army Royal blog and him kindly giving his permission to use his research and the persistence of a number of people (you know who you are) who want these flags I've got cracking and completed the first set of four. Painting these flags has been a total pleasure and the temptation to start an early Tudor army of my own is likely prove too much however I doubt I have the skill or the time to come up with what Stuart has accomplished with his Perry figures; hopefully a figure manufacturer will take a punt and complete some early Tudor figures.

This flag is for the Lord chamberlain and for a run down of his involvement in the invasion please take a look at Stuart's blog here: http://stuartsworkbench.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/a-whyte-panther-incensed.html
