Flags page

There are already many excellent and comprehensive ranges of flags available so why produce another one ?

When I started running a painting service for smaller scale figures it soon became obvious that customers had quite varied views on how they wanted their unit standards to look. Some wanted big and bright, others wanted them in scale and accurate and I could never find all that I needed to keep customers happy from a single printed range.

I tried flags downloaded from the Internet too, from excellent sites like Warflag, but the images were not always sharp and often the colours needed considerable adjustment to come out right on my printer. No fault of the designers, those problems are inherent in sharing graphics between systems.

I do a bit of graphical design work on the computer so I started to make my own flags and my customers seemed to like them. I had control over all aspects of the flag; size, colour and the type of paper - great.

To get the crisp detail I draw all designs as vector graphics and this means that they retain sharp and crisp detail, no matter what size they are reduced to. Naturally there are limits imposed by the printer used but modern colour lasers are able to produce a high quality image if the paper is right (and mine is - believe me, I tried a lot that didn't work as well). As an example - the regimental numbers in the corners of French Napoleonic flags can just about be read with a magnifying glass on the 6mm flags.
