How do you guys do the flags?

Brian

[Ian M]

Never really found a flag that looks the part.
Some use a silk flag, or a decal on thin foil... like on chocolate bar.

Cant figure out 100% says cotton the one place and vinyl an other.
You could also try and find a plain white silk hanky and make a mask and spray the rising sun on!

Ian Becc do both types of flag as the white ensign on my hms norfolk comes from BECC an is cotton so it will blow around in the wind like a real one but when i ordered my big 3 inch white ensign for my big tiger i forgot about Becc an ordered it from ebay an it is also cotton as i have bought some silk flags from a chap called mike doen hand made flags but bein silk they are exspensive
