Almost there, only isolators, touch ups and the rigging is done :)

Has anyone have a destroyer sized spare nazi ensign? I mean the one you don't have to make up swastika out of 20 different pieces?

 

Thanks for watching

Mick

Don't know if I am too late , but you are better to get the BECC Fabric Flag ( type AAA is 10mm long ) - or if you want it a bit bigger then its Type AA ( 15mm )

http://www.becc.co.uk/

there is a website list for their suppliers - if you need help PM me - but I used their Flag for the Yukikaze and its a beauty ( far better than a decal and you can flutter it )

No still didn't get any. My mate is going to send me some decal ones out of AFV U-boots along with the PE fret this thing is waiting for :) Have you any nice close ups of those? To be honest all the fabric ones I've seen to up date were weak, grain/knot or whatever you call it was way to big for the scale.... but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong ;)

here you go , 1/350 scale , and the flag is only 10mm long ( Type AAA )

note - the photo was taken with a macro lens , in real life ( you will have to just trust me - or not ) the ' fabric weave ' can't be seen with the naked eye

 

I would say , this is well worth your effort buying , rather than a Decal ) or Photo-etch ) - but the choice is , of course , yours .....

 

kind regards

Well Yuki looks nice, are there any more pictures of it somewhere on the forum? As for the ensign, for me that's no-go you can get far better result with decal on the tin foil. There's no fabric weave whatsoever and you can form even very 'radical' shapes :) Thanks for advice anyway, it's always better to know more than less :yes:

These are self adhesive vinyl ones, while they have no fabric weave, they're thick like plywood... I will get them AFV ones so hopefully that will solve the problem, if not... we'll worry about it then. But i do appreciate your rescue attempts ;) I just taught someone would have some leftovers knocking about. That probably will be my last nazi ship for a loooong time, so I don't really need 50 of them :)

Decals on foil is fairly easy to make up and surprisingly effective.

I tried it on my last ship build and had good results (similar to your rather excellent White Ensign in the photo above).

This is an excellent build all round, but those figures really set it off - makes it look big like a real ship as the detail of the figures give it all a really good scale effect.

You've set a high standard of detail here, cap badges and all, but also thoughtfully positioned the crew in small groups where you might expect them to be. Well done.
