Upgrading some Ottomans

 The flags on my Ottomans were looking a bit sad and forlorn, so I decided to order some flags (from Warfare Miniatures - Hi Barry!) and update the Kapikulu cavalry.  The flags had been the original ones from the about 1990! So time for the upgrade!








The original spears were also experiencing some metal fatigue and were bent and wobbly. I decided to replace all the spears with flags. Yep, just flags. I thought the unit looked good with a full complement of flags- you can never have too many flags....










I like the effect- I think I'll do the same with the other units!
