Does anybody know of a company/person who makes eagles?

Looking for one in 1/9th scale for a project.

Is the attached picture a suitable rendition, or is it too ornate? Would they have had the banner? Were the laurel leaves attached?

Thoughts/comments/suggestions please!

Hi Ian

FeR did standard bearers but they were 1/12th

That's certainly a parade piece but would be impressive

Can't you get someone with a 3D printer to help ?

These are 2 good books from Osprey Elite series

You could also get the putty out as well

Nap, thanks for the reply. Books look good - perhaps a trip to the book store is needed! Will enquire locally about 3D printer people but am really looking for a consensus on design! I dont think there are any actual eagles in museums etc, so have nothing to base it on!
