| 1st Battalion The Marquis of Boisseleau regt |
I'm planning on painting up some of the Jacobite units that fought at The Battle of the Boyne and at the Battle of Aughrim. One regiment that I will be painting is that of the Marquis de Boisseleau's regiment of two battalions. Unfortunately there is no record of what uniform, if any the regiment wore and what their flags may have looked like. After following the link on the League of Augsberg site, I decided to make my own version of the flag, Hopefully some of you may find it useful.

Lovely work, Ray. You're a man of many talents!
ReplyDeleteWhat does un dieu mean?
ReplyDeleteun dieu is French for One God.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Ray. And the flags look fine too! :) My Army Painter mega-paint set is to arrive very soon....will let ya know how it works out.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the link Ray and that's an intense discussion they've got going on there. I like the colors you've chosen and the design makes sense based on the ideas that were being batted around. Now that the painting challenge is done, you're becoming a posting animal Ray.
ReplyDeleteI've got so much stuff to catch up on, I wasn't going to post this one until I'd painted the units up, but someone was asking about info on the flags on the TMP page so I thought I'd post it.
DeleteIt was a good discussion and interesting to read. I've been wanting to tell you guys that the TMP found one of my mini posts and there was a discussion about me!! 334 of them came to my site in one day, so I followed the link back. But the discussion wasn't at all scholarly and because I'm not a member, I couldn't put in my two cents. They were gossiping about me like hens over there!!
DeleteI like the flags. hope they prove useful

DeleteGreat work and..."en Français dans le texte"!
ReplyDeleteVery good work Ray !
ReplyDeletebest regards dalauppror
Hey, wouldn't have guessed they weren't based off the real ones. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Ray as always mate
ReplyDeleteAs a republican I've never heard of the battle!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I might need your services for when I stage a coup in the neighborhood...it wouldn't be right without a flag...
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Ray.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on that flag. Looks very credible, and will look great on the battlefield. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the unit to go with it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice flags...
ReplyDeleteOh it reminded me of the Eddie Izzard - do you have a flag sketch!
We stole countries! That's how you build an empire. We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Just sail halfway around the world, stick a flag

Well done Ray!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Its weird the things history remembers and what it forgets!
ReplyDeleteAside from enjoying reading the blog, which is always a good read, the service you're providing gamers with the flag and uniform information is really useful. It's not a five minute job to keep up this level of commitment, so many thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Crazy Joe!!
Deletethese flags are great well done
ReplyDeleteVery nice work, Ray, as ever. I like a lot your information about this period. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFan-bloody-tastic will be buying some suitable figures at the next show I go to. 2 more units for Shamus !!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray

Nice work Ray; have you got a clever bit of software for this sort of thing?
ReplyDeleteNope, just microsoft paint, but I'd like to get some!!
ReplyDeleteInspirarional Ray. With so much conjecture in that period, anything goes, but those flags look real. I am tempted to copy them!!!
ReplyDeleteGary
That's what they're there for Gary.
DeleteNice one Ray! Looking forward to seeing the regiment to go with the flags!
ReplyDeleteI love the flag there mate, great work and it has the feel too
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Ray. How do you get them to print out at the right size for the figures?
ReplyDeleteDownload it, then copy it to a word document, then you can size it for whatever scale figures you need.
DeleteThanks :-)
DeleteLovely! Really like the design with the Irish Harp on a white background!
