WIP Stradiot flag Pietro Duodi

Thought I'd have a quick break from painting Lancastrian flags so this my representation of the flag of Pietro Duodi commander of the Venetian stradiots at the battle of Fornovo.  I've been wanting to have a go at this and other flags from this battle for ages and will continue to spacing them between the Lancastrian flags. The figure is a 'westernised' stradiot from Perry miniatures and I've wanted some of these since the osprey book came out.  Since I've just finished a book on the life of Marullus; a stradiot officer in the service of Naples amongst others the figure was srying out to be painted; I've got to finish the horse though. 

Lancastrian flags

More Lancastrian flags; this time it's the Earl of Devon and the Earl of Northumberland. I found Northumberland really difficult to paint  but I'm happy with the end result. These flags are printed on paper as I'll have no cloth for another couple of weeks . Next up is sir John Clifford, cheers Pete.

Massimo has just informed me that this book is now available  to buy ; if it's anything like his book on the battle of Anghiari it'll be well worth the money. It's available in Italian and French but with google translate that's no real problem  the book can be purchased here
