My wife came to my rescue once again. She works with miniatures so she was kind enough to reduce two images of a US Navy Jack flag and the American flag onto some paper. She used photos of actual worn flags to copy.
The plastic flags with staff were too thick and out of proportion. I removed the flags from their staffs with my #11 blade and then sanded down the staffs for a thinner look. I then drilled two holes thru the staff and ran line thru these to attach the flag .
After watching a video on creating flags, I cut out my reduced sized images and then glued a slightly smaller piece of tinfoil to the inside of one half of flag. I then inserted my line and folded and glued the two halves together. While still damp from the white glue mix, I bent my flags to create the wind blowing on them.
I'm still waiting for my EZ line to arrive so I can add the radio wires to the beacon towers and complete the rigging of the ship.
