How do you guys do the flags?

Brian
 
Never really found a flag that looks the part.
Some use a silk flag, or a decal on thin foil... like on chocolate bar.
 
well Bri i just send off to cornwall model boats for a cotton flag an cost depends on the flag size an they are made by becc

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

Thanks Ian, she is about 40-45cm high the cabinet she is in is 60cm, just measured her she is actually 30 cm high
 
Thanks. Know how high my shelves need to be now.
Will you post photos in the completed section.
 
Well done with the walkway painting. Definitely worth doing. A bit of colour and it would have jumped out at you every time in the future.
