mtaylor Posted September 27, 2014 #482 Posted September 27, 2014 Denis, Just super fantastic and I darn near missed the finish line.. whew!!!! Now as for the gallery... have a look here, about halfway down the first page are the instructions but read the whole topic as there's some info on which gallery, etc. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/359-completed-model-gallery-is-for-completed-models-only/ Now you have no excuse not to share the final pictures. :) maggsl_01 and DenPink 2 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)

DenPink Posted September 30, 2014 Author #497 Posted September 30, 2014 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.
