Oh Hello, good to see you away from wet related objects - good to see you in the alternative section - following with interest Greg. OC. -
Excellent progress Alan, and so like the look of your new figures - metal figures do paint up nice as they can have sharper details than plastic ones, with regards to primers for metal figures, I would advise to make sure they get a good soapy wash first to remove and release agants - with the primer, it sunds like your Mr Metal Primer would be OK but I'm not sure 100%.

Harry have you got any of that cooking foil we use to cover roated foods to stop them burning in the oven, that will do the trick. OC.

Mate check this out might help - http://www.modelwarships.com/features/current/flags/flags.html OC.

You could build them up first (Flagstaff/Flag/Lanyard/Foil) on the bench before fitting the whole assembly to the Ship, then just run the ends of the lanyards down to the deck when the Flagstaffs are set. OC.

What I would do Is to make up your flag with the foil and lanyard rope trapped inside then glue and form the shape you want before attaching to the flagstaffs/mast. OC.

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.
