I *think* that this is about to change but I would certainly get in touch with Keith at Aventine as he will be able to give you a more accurate answer. He's a lovely chap and will certainly get back to you.Bedfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363108327445559579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546817945186575904.post-47482527489982219572020-08-13T10:06:07.929-07:002020-08-13T10:06:07.929-07:00This is amazing, well done.

I am tempted to order the Aventine Byzantine infantry, as they look like beautiful sculpts, but their note about which shields to order vs. which shields might work with LBMS is super confusing...just wondering if these are the original shields with LBMS, or if you had your own solution?

I reckon that may have actually constructed the larger (army) banners in this manner- several layers of fabric sewn together as they had to last the rigours of a campaign and would not have easily been replaced. Well, that's my excuse anyway lolBedfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363108327445559579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546817945186575904.post-66983648748283596262020-08-08T14:37:42.257-07:002020-08-08T14:37:42.257-07:00That is superb and showcases the talent you have. ...That is superb and showcases the talent you have. Can I ask a daft question though? <br />When you paint a banner like this what do you do about the back of the banner? Do you paint it as plain coloured cloth . I cam across the same with LBMS transfers.
