Seems easy enough but I bet I can make a bigger mess than you with it. I may actually try this one out.

great tip!

Very Good indeed! There is but one tiny detail that I would change: You mention doning the same with printed-out designs. That would cause much frustration, since the glue/water mix would completly mess up the printers ink ;-)

Thanks everyone!

@Yuggoth, You sir are correct. I didn't think about it smudging the ink. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Steve78]

you could use a setting solution on printed images to stop it smudging - the same stuff you use for custom decals

 

[Harok]

you can use laser prints as they don't smudge with water, if you don't have a laser printer, a color photocopy would work as well.

your flags look amazing, but im too lazy and im gonna stick with the default or regular flags that are included in the box

Very nice! I like the way how you can "sculpt" the shape of the flag. I was thinking about making some bullet holes in it, so does it look kind of used. Thanks a lot!

Great article, have you ever made a flag/banner from aluminum foil? Back in the 70's I read a great modeling article from MRC Tamiya on using foil, primed and painted, it give very realistic folds and creases. Just wondering.- Doconicus
