Your flag is backwards. The corner colors for the reverse are shown on the obverse. |

Really? Well I never,…
I have it attached as diplayed on Maverick Models site:
1st Demi Brigade, (1st and 3rd Battalions)
What is your Reference?
Still a cool looking flag IMHO.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers |

trailape, Are the cloth flags just like the paper in terms of format -- i.e., do you fold the two sides together, then glue and shape? Thanks! |

Hi
Are the cloth flags just like the paper in terms of format -- i.e., do you fold the two sides together, then glue and shape? Yes. The are very easy to work with, and I have found you can bend them into all sorts of wavey shaps with no fear of tearing
Cheers

The flag looks spot on to me trailape. (And yes – I've checked my sources) Not sure what Femeng2 is driving at. |

Scott, Thanks! I assume you used PVA glue? Cheers, Mike |

Hi Mike
Yes. PVA Glue. I then brushed the whole flag with watered down PVA, (because I heard somewhere it was a good way of retaining the 'Wavey' effect).
:o)
Side Note:
I placed an order for another 8 Material flags, plus some more paper flags about two days ago.
I got an email from Stuart withing a couple of hours asking some questions and had the flags dispatched the next day. I should have them by next week. as usual, bloody brilliant service from MAVERICK MODELS. |

I have used the 'material' (cloth) flags from Maverick and I really liked them. I've also purchased the cloth flags from The Flag Dude and they too are very nice. I would recommend both. |
