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

It sure is Jim:thumb2:,
I had a bash at it.... not perfect....
.... but not too shabby!!........

[The Smythe Meister]

..... OK then Chaps,
I`ve been doing quite a bit on this in the shadows,here`s just a peep.......
My attempt at the Flag,using Tim`s suggestion with the foil backing......

I used the one on the Bottom row,extreme Left. Stuck it onto the foil,bent into shape,(Ish!!),and cut up a little.....

I then added some filler here and there,and painted the various Red tones,Off Whites,and altered the swastika .... i may have made it much worse,but i just thought it looked too pristine with it`s perfect lines...... maybe i should`ve just left it alone?!:rolling: ... Anyway,i AM happy with the Sag/drape etc......





Loads more to come soon... and better pictures:thumb2:
Thanks for looking in,
Cheers for now,
Andy

Thanks Andrew,much to do,but it`s coming on!:nerd:.

[The Smythe Meister]

A`noon all,
Some base progress,first though,a bit of an accident.......... Dropped the MG carrie and broke the Butt off.......

The plan for the base...........

Beginnings of groundwork........

Alittle filler was needed,but not much really,finally,tentative start at painting the Pill Box..........

So there it is at the moment,started the uniforms of the 3 figures,but not worth showing yet!
As always,thanks for looking in,all thoughts,comments,or plain old abuse more than welcomed!!!:thumb2:
Cheers,
Andy
