Thanks, John. Interesting that you mentioned Civil War figures. The same firm that has produced this one also do a series 'North and South' with some nice examples.
After my earlier entry re waiting for Cadmium Red to dry, I realised I'd have to rework the edges of the CR adjacent the other colours in any case, so moved ahead and have base-coated these other areas now - scarlet sash and green areas - which will put me in the position of highlighting/lowlighting across all areas in the next few days.
Also have found a good photo of a (reconstructed) Regiment flag of the French 8th, so I can now see the breakdown of the colours properly, which hopefully will assist me when painting the furled example here.
Cheers for looking.
