Flagging the Fleet

I've finally finished detailing my Sails of Glory ships (all six of them) by painting the yards and masts and giving the sails a wash.  The final act was to replace the fixed flags with swappable flags so I sail as either...

British

French

My choice of flags and positions might not be historically accurate and I did run out of the Red Ensign, however I'm happy with the result and just love the top pennants fluttering in the breeze.

  1. They look great Mark, a significant improvement on the look 'out of the box'.
    Julian has Glorious First of June in planning for Nov, perhaps...
