Top Totty!

Thanks , Phil.
Fortunately, "Union Jack" or "Union Flag" are both correct.

Just shows how many people don't know how the Union flag is made up and even more don't care.

Well, some of us have standards. (See what I did there?)

Actually they aint. Union jack refers to the Union Flag when flown from the jackstaff of a ship at anchor. In all other circumstances its a Union Flag.

My word. Strange allies do turn up sometimes (too late to save my Boers today).

The Union Jack ... why is this on the Top Totty thread? ... was deemed a perfectly acceptable term for the flag in other circumstances in 1908.

Nice model and good painting technique.    (I'm only now catching up)

Dry or wet brush?

Finger painting, actually.

Actually not true, it is the (possible) etymology, but not strict usage anymore.  HM is happy with 'Jack'

Only on this forum would a picture of a stunning blonde wearing nothing but paint elicit a discussion on the design and nomenclature of flags!!

Brush... Oh, I thought it read bush!
If It did, I was going to have to point out she looked more Brazilian than Aussie

I think that's something to do with the average age of the forum.  The response is either

1 She looks fantastic, BUT she is young enough to be my Daughter / Grandaughter.
2 I can't remember what you actually do with a naked woman
3 Where are my little blue pills
4 If I could remember and find the little blue pills i don't think I could keep up.

Obviously some of us don't have this problem

Literate members (apt term) will remember Renoir senior's preferred item for paint application....
