Have just completed the lockers and have decided to add a little colour to mine. The lockers looked a bit bare so I have downloaded some naval signal flags and pasted them into word twice. flipped one copy to give a mirror image. Cut out and glued the two together to give me a flag on both sides. Cut out each flag and roll it up tight. The result is as shown in the picture. Still got a few more to do. A bit fiddly but I like the final look. Gil (Retired and nothing to do)  GilShapley attached the following image(s): Current Build:-

Hi Gil Thank you very much for the flags. A great addition Also a chance for my Grandson to cut the flags out, glue them together and roll them up before putting them in the locker. He will be pleased because the Victory is for him and with him only being 6 years old he cannot do much on it. First Build HMS Victory and HMS Endeavour Also Krick steam boat "Victoria" Cheers Ivan (Ordinary Seaman) http://www.old-glossop.com

Well done Gil, I'd like to copy your idea but have no idea of scale. Can you help me by saying what size you printed them out to give the correct size?
Happy building

Here is the flag message from Nelson to his fleet at the battle of Trafalgar. The flags vary from the ones displated earlier in the thread, I am unsure of which are the correct ones if either?

In answer to what size I just printed onto a sheet of A4 paper As most of the flag is in fact hidden in the locker with just the end showing I dont think the size is too relevant (but you dont want it too large). I just wanted the additional colour and to fill in the holes Thanks for all the positive comments Current Build:-
