Interesting video showing how to do extra flags.

Yes it's a tip a learnt from the video author shortly ago, that I'm now applying to all my fleets. Very useful when one jumps from a Caribbean campaign onto an Ottoman-Venetian one - and who knows onto what else later!

In my collection, the only exception to this rule from now on will be my semi-historical WSS catalan fleet (romanticism über alles!)

I like the idea of the nail top to give it some weight and consistency. I may have to try that with the flags for my Oak and Iron ships. I was thinking of trying to use plastic tubes but this may work better....
