Hi Steve Re Flags. This is for polyester type flags only ( not paper ones ). I cut a beer can or Coca Cola can, bent it to shape (please over bend the can, as when you take it off it tends to flatten out ). I then put the flag on top and sprayed it with hair lacquer till the flag was soaking wet. I then put some small crocodile clips to hold the flag to the can, stand the flag up to let the surplus hair spray drip off onto some paper. Leave to dry for 12 hours. What I did next some people will not like. I did try and put the flag on to some rope but it did not work, the flag just fell over. I got some 1mm x 1mm walnut from my stock and glued some each side of the flag, then trimmed the flag off. I then glued it to the flag poles. Will post some photos soon. Denis.

Hi Steve I am not joking the SOS is my second build. The first one I finished the hull, but did not do the masts or yards, it went into the bin about a month ago. So the SOS is my first finished build. Denis.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
