That's an old Italian coin made very rare and valuable by wrong flags's direction since the very moment it was banned.

Hoy Allegheny, ok I figured out how to post photos! This is a 1/32 5 Masted Schooner, Inca. The flags are painted, cut then with a heat gun warp the plastic to simulate wind. The hailyards are painted electric guitar strings.

Thank you for posting those photos. I like the idea of how you made the flags much more realistic in terms of their waving in the breeze.

Like everything else I can see exception to the flag's orientation in display model. Like mentioned earlier, it should go with the wind direction. However, if you display with the sails furled or semi-furled, the ship is mostly stationary, and the flags can be in any directions based on the predominant wind, which could be toward the stern, bow or sideway.

Or the likely hood if at port or in a dead-wind the flags hang limp when no wind is blowing at all.
