Attaching Flags to a Halyard

[BareHook]

I'll be adding flags to my AVS build and am not sure of the best way to attach cloth flags to the halyards. I'm using the cloth flags available from Model Expo.

 

I figure I may need to use anti-fray on the cloth before cutting out the flag.

 

I was planning on adding a half-hitch at the top and bottom junction point in the halyard and bonding with fabric glue or hand stiching it? The halyards will be .008 hemp colored line.

 

Please comment or offer ideas and how this could or has been done

 

Thanks!

If you are using the Model Shipways kit/plan, then the scale is 1/48.  Perhaps the more prototypical way to attach the flag is to use a needle and thread.  Anti fray spray is a good idea. 

 

Good luck~!
