Last time in my Sultana build, i used sculpey to make buoys, this time tried a different approach.   In below picture are two buoy prototypes, i carved without a lathe..  Then pilot holes are drilled and two hooks per buoy are made and inserted, not all the way thru to leave a bit room for seizing.. The buoys were painted in white.  Then harness for each buoy are made, two per buoy. Three lines were knotted along another rigging line. Spacing between the lines was appr 6mm.  Then the harness were wrapped around the rod, knotted and glued.   The harness was wrapped around the buoy and glued with super glue.  The second harness was attached as well. This part was a a bit tricky, since three lines of the second harness have to be run under the existing harness before being seized but with little help this was done OK.  The seizing was done around the hook, on both ends of buoy.   And completed. With this all work, the buoys were weathered a bit which ended up to be a nice detail..  Ready for anchors..  Happy modelling.. | ||

There are a few articles on printing flags on the ModelShipWorld (MSW) forum here is one example https://modelshipworld.com/topic/89-making-cloth-flags/#elControls_531_menu. They may help. Alternate is to identify the period correct style and size of the flag you need then order from a good supplier such as CRW (https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/index.html), Rokket (https://amp.rokket.biz/flags.shtml) in the US etc. CRW is a good research site to start with at least. Hope this helps. cheers Pat | ||
