I also like that yellow - a difficult colour to get right, but you have in spades..

Martin at PP can provide packs of just the standard bearers at slightly additional cost and I think it could be well worth the effort. That said larger flags would also be an improvement but that would mean cutting off the pole at the top of the hands, drilling a small hole and inserting a longer rod. It's fiddly but could be done and would hugely increase the impact of the command bases, my flags just look undersized and in scale terms I think they are. <br />'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-16914294244674913132021-06-10T11:17:46.413-07:002021-06-10T11:17:46.413-07:00Very nice Lee!Very nice Lee!Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-26962435807323197642021-06-10T08:52:24.466-07:002021-06-10T08:52:24.466-07:00Why not give them a second flag to make the comman...Why not give them a second flag to make the command group the same width as the pike block?
