Where to buy 28mm Union Jack flag?
« on: October 07, 2016, 09:02:19 PM »
I have looked at a few wrgame flag manufacturing companies but none seem to do just a simple Union Jack? Also could use some advice on what is the best type of flag to get. One printed on paper or some sort of transfer? And how to get it to look like it is flying, with folds in it? Complete novice
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Google the flag...copy onto a word doc or pwerpoint and print...

If wrong size adjust and print again...

If you really want to pay good money for a paper flag there are a number of distributors

Assuming you want Anglo Zulu war (based on your lancer post) empress miniatures sell the regimental flags

FoldIng the flag is simple. Cover both sides with pva.

Wrap he flag around the pole leave for the glue to start setting. As it sets curl the flag using your finger . If you want you can insert a sliver of tin foil between paper and curl after glue has set

Good luck

Hi Eric thanks for those tips. I had no idea how to do a flag. I don't have access to a colour printer so the google idea is out. Or maybe not. I was thinking of just a general union jack flag but if I did go for a regimental standard I would need the 1st Kings Dragoons for around 1879 period. I checked about 6 manufacturers but none seemed to do it. (nor a union jack, or a stars and stripes!)
