This is just a quick update on the smaller details and minor adjustments to the lettering. The left side of this flag is complete for the time being. I know the lettering and other features appear rather bright right now, but they will be toned down later. The AK Gold was a royal pain to work with. ...

The decal proved cumbersome and would not cooperate around all those fine bends and creases. The first photo is the o...

I finished oiling the other side of the flag. It’s not real clear, but the shadows and highlights have been completed. I gave the flag three days to dry, then applied a dull coat to seal the work.
