Thanks Jack

You were most influential in my getting the squared US National up with this first batch of HD flags. Hopefully I did it justice.

Massachusetts

All the Regimental flags for Mass were of the Irish Brig variety. Then I found this one, I just had to reincarnate it to represent Mass.

Several hours of reconstruction before the build could begin, yep, this one's a beaut...

As you see I had to brighten it to find and duplicate the detail. So, it washed out some of the colors, and some patterns I just gave up on in including back. If anyone wants to reconstruct this one and put forth a better effort than the above...you're most welcome. Accept that as a challenge...you reconstruct it, I'll build and fly it...that's a promise on my part.

The gold border, instead of burgundy, around the shield is just a flat error on my part. After several hours on this, I just slumped into the mode of 'getting it finished'...apologies to the perfectionists out there.

Looks good to me :)

Are you sure it's burgundy? Looking at the gold leaf around the edges of the flag, it kind of looks darker too - so it could just be a trick of the light.
