At the end of July I
posted this command element
but with a different flag. At the time I was attempting to represent a generic
religious icon. On reflection it didn't quite work. So I switched it for this
one:
I have also reset my camera and have thankfully ended up with decent shots of
the element without a lot of post processing.
The new flag retains the relatively sombre base colour of the
original but has more impact when viewed on the table. The original was just
too complex to stand out in 15 mm.
Flags
Here are three versions of the design for you to copy and print your own. They
have increasingly brighter shades of red in case you really want to make the
flag stand out.
In my experience colour laser printing and
varnishing tends to produce paper copies that are darker than they appear on
screen.
The
original image is here
if you fancy making your own version.

Isn't it Lithuanian?

Well it may be (as well) but I've not seen it in any sets of Lithuanian flags. Have you?
However the element is for some Russian allies in Lithuanian service so it's appropriate in a strange way.
Finally, if you follow the link to the original image you'll see it's listed as the flag of Moscow. I presume this is modern day Moscow.
Anyone else got more information?
Seems I'm getting confused with the Lithuanian knight emblem, which is very similar at first glance.

I suspect George & the Dragon was a common east european motif. Then again it could be our age!
You mean this one.
Yes, unfortunately the Danish site which had more Lithuanian emblems disappeared a while ago.
very nice element and I have nicked the flag you kindly posted too! Drew
That's what it's there for. ;-)
