Since the start of the year I have been reorganising my entire 28mm ECW collection and also adding extra regiments & personalities. This vignette of King Charles I and his standard bearers I finished a couple of days ago and very happy I am with how it turned out. The model of Charles is a Wargames Foundry figure with a Warlord Games plastic sword attached and he is seated upon an Old Glory horse with some additional modelling work to add length to the mane, all of which was inspired by the Sir Anthony van Dyck painting. The Royal Standard Bearer is an Old Glory cuirassier and horse with the addition of a metal arm and plastic flag pole from Warlord Games. The King's Gentlemen Pensioners Standard Bearer is another Old Glory cuirassier and horse with the addition of a plastic flag pole from Warlord Games. The flags of course are from my own Wargames Designs collection. More Pics on my blog: link

Like your blog. Will be reading it over next few days. I too have a ton of 28mm ECW figures I need to turn into an army.

Excellent work. I need to do something similar for both my scale Royalists.

Delightful vignette, your flags are the best for the ECW. The old glory Cuirassiers look realy good painted up too!

The Old Glory figures are lovely and mix really well with Essex, Foundry, Front Rank, Perry, Warlord and other similar size figures. I love the Pensioners flag too and needed an excuse to field it, although I may weaken and make a small unit of Gentlemen Pensioners for some early war scenarios, as you can never really have enough ECW figures in your army. I just need a 30 foot by 10 foot table now to do some of the larger battles.
