Some more recently painted figures for your perusal, and these are mine for a change! In this post are 2 command stands for my Allied Nine Years War army, my main commander is William III, I had a spare standard bearer, so I thought he'd look good on William's base, but then I had the trouble of what flag to use on the base. In the end I used the Royal Coat of Arms, with the Coat of arms for the House of Orange added, It's probably incorrect but looks fine to me!! The figures are 15mm Essex, and the lovely round bases are from Warbases, a link to both of these companies can be found on my Links list at the bottom left of my blog page.
The second command base is for George Frederik Graf van Waldeck-Pymont, who commanded the allied army in Flanders whilst William was somewhat busy in Ireland. Waldeck and his trumpetor are painted up in the colours of his cavalry regiment at the time. The horses are Essex, but the men are from Donnington Miniatures, "Link". I bought several officer figures at a show last year, but found when horsed they towered over the Essex figures, so with a little cutting and scrapping I mounted them on Essex horses and they match quite well.
