"Flags and tarpaulins." Topic

Quite interesting tutorial here.

"The use of flags, pennants or coloured canvases has been, and probably still is, a common way to identify a vehicle, especially from the air, and avoid the curiously named friendly fire. Besides, the vehicles usually carry a lot of fabric items among their impedimenta, as well as tarpaulins that protect them form dust and dirty. Finally, many trucks and other transport vehicles use tarpaulins, usually on frames, to hide and protect their loads.
In the modelling world, several methods to replicate these elements have been described. Some of the most common are tissue paper soaked in white glue, to use malleable metallic sheets and putty. In this step by step I will show this later option to make a simple element such as an air recognition flag.
The market offers many brands of epoxy putties suitable for this purpose. The principle of all of them is the same. They are formed by two components that separately are malleable, but that when mixed harden due to a chemical reaction in a more or less short period of time. In this example I used "A+B epoxy putty", but there are many others witch work identically. Two equal small portions of each of the components are mixed and kneaded for a couple of minutes…"

Nice. Although that flag is a bit close to the exhaust pipe for my liking….could be how flames of war got it's name?

Man, they got that putty nice and thin.

Looks pretty realistic though, for flags, tarps, etc.

Glad you had enjoy the tutorial guys!.
