(wasn't quite sure where to start this, and as this is a figure finishing question, I'll post it here…) Does anyone know if someone makes flags in 28mm for the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Regiment? I tried to Google for them yesterday and was not having any luck…
Cheers,
Kevin

GMB makes a generic Minnesota flag (both state and National) – US7 but if you email Grahame he can probably make one for you that is specific. I LOVE his flags and use them on all my regiments. Don actionfront.blogspot.com "Who ever saw a dead cavalryman?" |

I hand painted one for this regiment based on my reading about the regiment in state archives. When touring one of the state historical sites, I saw a representation of the 1ST MN. regiment flag, which didn't match what I had read. I ask one of the people working at the site about this, and his response was that I had read a description of a "presentation" flag and not the actual flag used by the regiment. I still would go with what I read, in which the state flag had a white back ground verses the blue. I would bet they change flag back grounds about the same time they changed from the checker wool shirt and black pants uniform to the standard union uniform. |

Hello Kevin, Nice to see you're painting ACW figures. The 1st Minnesota carried several different national and regimental colours during their enlistment. E-mail or phone me and I'll send you the info you need. Ryan |

I hand painted my 15mm 1st MN Volunteers flag (I hand paint them all but this is the one I am most proud of). I did it on folded tissue paper cemented together with white glue. Given an e-mail address I can provide some photos of how it turns out and am willing to assist in the "how" to do it. Cheers, The Bandit |
