Tanotrooper Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Hello everyone, I suppose I should post this in the Pirates subforum as it'll be probaply used the most up here. In the continuation of my Waterloo project, I had to design both the French and British colours. The British one, the Union Jack, has a quite complex design but after a lot of thinking and experimenting, I was able to reproduce it in the right size. Here you can see it, being carried by a soldier of the 42nd regiment (Black Watch): The design is quite complex and isn't able to move like my French flag, but is quite sturdy. The centre part is kept solely in place by pressure, this would have to be changed into green to represent the correct flag for the 42nd at Waterloo. If you guys are interested, I could post an exploded view of the design aswell. TT Quote
prateek Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Best Union Jack ever! Mind posting instructions, since it's already kinda obvious Quote
mobricki Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I like it I think I might borrow your design for my British army. Quote
RoryoCox Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I love it. It seems easy to make so multiples can be made easily. I also like how you down the diagonal stripes. Thanks for Sharing Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I'm not very fond of brickbuilt flags and this one seems to work only from one side. But it's clear that this is a masterpiece and I think it's the best one can do this way. It's certainly recognizable the Union Jack. Great job Quote

Although I don't yet have the parts for it, the design is featured both on the front and the back of the flag. Feel free to use the design, I'll try to post a picture later this evening of the construction. TT Quote
Big Cam Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I'm not crazy about the fig, but I'm not familiar with him either. The flag though is stunning. Quote

buddy Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Great Union Jack! It is very accurate and cleverly-made and the minifig is too Very well done. ~buddy~ Quote

Although I don't yet have the parts for it, the design is featured both on the front and the back of the flag. My mistake. I thought you had used blue headlight bricks, but with technic 1x1 bricks with a hole or something like that, it can indeed be done from two sides Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 That flag is stunning work! How long did it take to figure it out? It looks very complicated! Quote
