Talking about the flag, some folds would look nice.

Or glue it the other way...

Yes, I want to change the flag. Is printed in a very thick paper, and I cannot give any shape to them. I'm goint to print new ones in regular 80gr. paper and change it.

Nice stuff!  Love the General or the officer.

Did you change up the color of the blues in the trousers, or is that just the way the light is hitting them in the shot?

Glandalf

The colour of the trousers looks like fluorescent or something similar  ;D
Don't know why, but my camera don't catch very well the blue colours.

Excellent! =D>

I always paint over flags with pva glue (white glue) before they are attached to the the models. This has the effect of stiffening them and allows for bends to be folded into the 'flying' colours with the aid of a tool such as tweezers.
