Hi everyone,
I painted up my new squad of US Army in Hardsuits and have the pictures on my
blog here:

Any comments or suggestions are always welcome:)
It's hard to see on the pictures, but I even painted a tiny US flag on the
right shoulder. These are awesome figures.

They look most excellent. Very sharp looking with good detail for the size of
the figs. I can sort of see a red and white stripe on the shoulder, but none
of the figs are turned just right to get a clear look.

Great job, Harold - also just wanted to let you and everyone else
know that there will be some more packs of these figures available soon!
AND a great job on promoting these; lovely thread on The Miniatures Page.
Not sure where else you may have done so, but I'll see if I can't work up a
post on the Lead Adventure Forum.

Just one small nitpick, flags on the right arm should be stars forward: (from
the Secretary of the Army FAQ...
http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/FAQs/faqs.aspx)
Q6: How should the American Flag patch be worn?
[image: Flag Patch]
- The U.S. Code states "no part of the flag should ever be used as a
costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the
uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic
organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a
living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica should be worn on
the left lapel near the heart."
- The U.S. Code does not address the positioning of the flag patch.
It is appropriate to wear an American flag patch on the left or right sleeve.
When worn on the left sleeve, the union would appear towards the front and the
stripes would run horizontally toward the back. When worn on the right sleeve,
it is considered proper to reverse the design so that the union is at the
observers right to suggest that the flag is flying in the breeze as the wearer
moves forward.
- Since the law does not specifically address the positioning of the
patch, a decision is left to the discretion of the organization prescribing
the wear. As many states and cities have ordinances pertaining to the use of
the flag, you may wish to contact the Attorney General of your state or the
City Attorneys office regarding this matter.
Q7: How should the American Flag patch be worn by Army personnel?
HQDA policy has been changed to authorize all soldiers throughout the force
permanent wear of the full-color U.S. Flag cloth replica (approximately
2"x3") on utility uniforms. The patch is worn on BDUs, Desert BDUs, the
Maternity BDU, the Cold Weather Coat (Field Jacket), Aircrew Battle Dress
Uniform, and the Combat Vehicle Crewman Uniform and Jacket (Cold Weather).
DA policy states that the patch will be sewn 1/2 inch below the right
shoulder seam of the utility uniform. When the shoulder sleeve
insignia-former wartime service (SSI-FWTS) is worn on the right shoulder
of
the utility uniform, the U.S. Flag insignia is placed 1/8 inch below the
SSI-FWTS. The cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces forward
or to the flag's own right. When worn on the right sleeve, it is considered
proper to reverse the design so that the union is at the observer's right to
suggest that the flag is flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.

I believe that was amended in 2027.
