Hey Guys,
Looking for French Flags for shoulder patch and Helmet for Free French Army I am building. For my other Warlord miniatures, shoulder patches are about 2.5 mm or a little over 1/16 of an inch. Has anyone been able to find some or what scale decal (like you would use for example 1/300 battleship miniature) would work also. I’ve looked everywhere and really don’t want to paint about 50 2.5mm flags. Lol, (I have 2,000 Epic Civil War Miniatures to paint too)
thanks Ed

Cheers,
Nigel

The bigger flag might be too big for infantry, but the smaller flag is about 0.120″ and might work for you. Have a look at these:

Theres some YouTube tutorials knocking about.
Sorry I can’t be more specific, it’s been a long time since I looked into it.

May 6, 2021 at 7:12 am #185406HellRaiser 7ParticipantI thought about doing that. I heard some of the decal sheets don’t print out good. I need to find out then what’s a Good brand decal sheet to get so I can make my own decals.
thank you very much John, I’ll look into itEd
