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.
