I got a wooden conductor's baton-just did, cos you never know when stuff might come in useful :thumb2::smiling2:
Anyway, I was looking at it and thought about making a flagpole for use as a table item or for our 1/16/1/18 RC military vehicles 'village'.
So, routing through the bits/spares boxes for something that may be useful:
Baton, cut bottom and top and sanded to take the paint.
The base is off another model that got broke.
Bollards are from an old bed, drilled out and brass islets glued in, I used my jewelers hammer to shape them to the curve.
Some old chain necklace.
A small tripod mount was used for the top.
Brass finial, no idea where that came from.
Some other metal bits and I made the handle from metal rod and old lighter parts.
String.
Sand for the base.
The flag is just paper (I know that the flag markings are the wrong way around, I used a site that did your countries flag as a watermark for the background of your picture you inserted-didn't realise until I stuck the chuffing thing.
All painted and weathered and sealed.
Looks really good.
