Here is a short video showing how to add flags to a 28mm Swiss pike block. The video shows how I added five flags from Pete’s Flags to a 100 figure 28mm Swiss Pike block. The video includes cutting, gluing, shaping and finishing the flag to give a natural look. The whole project of adding five flags took about thirty minutes. The complexity level is low and can be carried out by a novice.
In my next blog post I will be looking at the flags of different Swiss cantons, cities and regions and how to mix these flags within a pike block to give a realistic appearance. I will be looking at the mix of flags for different historical battles from the Italian Wars in the period of 1496 – 1525.
