    Hi Andy
    That is looking good. You've got a few flags so you can sacrifice one to see how best to make it work. I like the figures.

      Looking good Mr. Smiff,

      Things are really coming together now Andy. Like Jim just said, you can use a flag for practice, but use one of the ones on the upper part of the sheet. The bottom 4 (2 big, 2 Small) are the real air recognition flags. A question if I may, did you really paint the exhaust pipes blue or is it the camera angle shot. We're not building a Honda here, ya know..............

          Looking very good Andy. Figures look like they’ll paint up nicely as well. I think I’d stick one of those flags to kitchen foil and use it that way. It will be much easier to get realistic folds and drapery when it’s on foil than fighting with the sticky back directly on the model.

                It’s not original Andrew….it’s what Little Big Man Studios (who make the shield transfers I use on the little blokes) recommended for using their flag transfers. It seemed as if it would transfer well to this application.

                      Tim's "sticking the flag to foil" idea sounds a winner to me. I'll remember that
