28mm World War One Vignette from Battle Flag

Here at Battle Flag we are extremely pleased to be able to announce the first release in our own range of exclusive 28mm miniatures for the miniature figure collector and gamer.

    Sculpted by the talented Mark Fuller this Great War anniversary vignette represents a courageous, but forlorn, charge of WWI British soldiers into No Man’s Land under heavy fire.

The three officers and private are captured as they exit their trench for the last time. The model is made up of no less than 16 pieces and consists of a large highly detailed resin section of no-man’s land, four 28mm miniatures (Two Captains, 1 Lieutenant and one Private) a section of barbed wire all expertly cast in quality Britannia Metal by our friends at Curtey’s Miniatures plus a 3 part laser cut MDF display base.

 The Lads at Curteys and ourselves will be donating a minimum of £1.00 to the Charity, Soldiers of the Streets, for every set sold.

Soldiers of the Streets is a hands on charitable organization that actively seeks out ex-soldiers who are living rough and/or suffering from PTSD and gives them the physical and psychological support they need to enable them to find shelter and reintegrate into everyday society. To find out more about S.O.T.S click HERE.

You can purchase the model directly from our online store for just £15.95.

Model is unassembled and unpainted and requires glue and paint to finish.

Model Paint Storage Rack & Tray System from Battle Flag

Designed to hold 43 pots of Vallejo/Model Color size pots along with your brushes, files and scissors the new Paint Storage System Tray (P.S.S.T.) from Battle Flag offers unrivalled quality and functionality.

Battle Flag Paint Rack Dimensions 296mm x 217mm x 127mm

 “A place for everything and everything in its place” was the design remit we gave ourselves when we started this project. As figure painters and modellers ourselves we wanted something that would look great and have maximum function as well.

The paint pot is held securely while a large window allows instant recognition of the colour. A tiered design with staggered pot holders again ensures that the modeller has easy sight of the colours stored. We placed the brush holders on the upper tier at the back; that way there is no chance that you will damage a brush reaching for a pot of paint.

 Two of the middle tiers have holes and slots that will hold files, scissors, tweezers etc. maximizing the practicality of the tray. Sturdy, attractive and easy to assemble; Battle Flags Paint Storage System allows the modeller to create a pleasant ergonomic environment in which to paint and assemble figures and models.

Available for three sizes of paint pot: Vallejo/Model Color (43 pots), Citadel/Tamiya (33 pots) and Foundry/Coat D’Arms/Humbrol (38 pots), for just £22.50 + 10% worldwide postage and packing.

28mm Wild West Model Gallows. Hang'Em High!

You can now hang ‘em high in Trinity and Blackwater Gulch in fact in any 28/30mm Old West Frontier game.

 

Battle Flag’s easy to assemble laser cut precision kit gives the modeller and gamer a very realistic set of gallows for their Wild West games. Based on photographs of actual gallows of the Frontier period the model is perfectly sized for 28mm Heroic scale and 30mm wargame miniatures; making it ideal for Blackwater Gulch and Malifaux style games.

The easy to assemble Gallows kit from Battle Flag stands an impressive 105mm high. Based on a set of photographs of an actual gallows of the period it has all the details of the real thing; a traditional stair of 13 steps leads up to the fully engraved platform with its railings, crossbeam, trapdoor and lever. The platform has been designed to accommodate miniatures mounted on bases of up to 30mm. The scaffolding to the drop at the front of the model has been left without crossbeam supports; as a hanging was a popular day out and the authorities didn’t want the public’s viewing pleasure obstructed in any way. Gallows were constructed to ensure maximum spectacle.

Another feature of Battle Flag’s model gallows which is worthy of note is that, through careful design, our gallows are assembled with hidden construction joints. This gives a superbly realistic look to the finished model.

Battle Flag, Raising the Standard.

Priced at just £10.50 this is just one of the Battle Flag series of models from our Old West range of model buildings and can be purchased directly from our secure online store at www.wargame-buildings.com or from all major UK wargame shows from First Corps Miniatures.

28mm Wargame Transfers and Decals for Victrix Plastic Greek Athenian Hoplites Boxed Set

Battle Flags of the Texas War of Independence.

The latest release of 28mm and 25mm wargame and model flags from Battle Flag sees the flags of the volunteers of the Texas War of Independence. Covering the main period of the war 1835-1836 as well as James Long’s earlier expeditions in 1821 the plates include the flags carried at the main battles of the Texas Revolution and of course that flown at the Alamo.

Battle Flag’s flags of the Texan War of Independence have been properly researched. The Latin stanzas are correct and I have avoided fictitious flags like the supposed flag of Lorenzo de Zavala.

The Blue Flag with the Lone Star with the name of Texas surrounding it, accredited as the de Zavala flag, was in fact first published in a book entitled "The Romantic Flags of Texas" by Mamie Wynne Cox in 1931. Cox conveniently ignored the journal entries that discuss the addition of a rainbow and stars to de Zavala's unknown design.

Battle Flag's flag plates are properly researched and printed on quality paper using archival quality inks to ensure lasting value. For more flags and details of our other ranges click www.battle-flag.com
