    Hoisting the Ensign
    This is a schematic of how I attach the Ensign to the Staff.

    Incidentally this is Blue Ensign made for my Victory build, using the tissue/printing method.
    I had made the Ensign and Jack Staffs some time back in the build.



    The Ensign is raised.



    The Jack before tweaking...............

     .........and after.
     
    Almost there folks, some tidying up now to do, and a base to make.
    This post marks the seven day task of rebuilding this log, I think I've got it all in the correct order.
