Hey, did you just print the names and flags? Where did you find the flags at?

Hey, did you just print the names and flags? Where did you find the flags at? Correct, I use cardstock and then simple cut and glue on with white glue before I apply testors dull coat to ptotect the entire model. I cut and paste the flag pic off the web and keep them in a word file so when I need to make more they are all the same size.

Thanks, very nice. I've try to paint them on, not so easy or nice. Yes, definately very easy....I just finished 4 more that I will post when dry. Battle of Cornel. I like the look of the printed labels, IMO they give the model a clean professional look. After putting the time in painting hand labeling (unless on the bottom) seemed to take away from the model for me.

I like the idea of using dull coat to seal everything to the base. Should keep the names from coming unglued.
