how to make flags.

I did one of these a number of years ago by this method. First I used a kleenex sheet and soaked it in a 50 / 50 mix of white glue and water. I then laid it over the location where the flag was going to go and let it dry. I then painted the background of the flag in red with a white center. Finally I placed a decal of a swaztika in the center. This worked pretty good. It was also sprayed with dullcote along with the rest of the model.

Alternatively, use talcum/baby powder to roll very thin sheets of Milliput. Place on the model and gently push into position over any items underneath. Let dry, then paint (the decal svastika is a great idea!).

A guy from forum suggested to me using aluminium foil. It turned out okay, but i painted the swastika badly. A decal will surely help.

thank you..... I only forgot to mention that is a soviet flag, just mentioned the nazi one because it is the most common subject for this (quite bizarre).

Same procedure .... change colours ..... insert red star for swastika. LOL

Jara,

I used a piece of Kleenex sheet, than I airbrushed with red nankim paint. I let it dry and after I painted the the comunist symbol. To fix at the dio base I used a mix of white glue and water. take a look at the result:



Best wishes and good luck!
