I would like to make a flag for a u-boat, U 96, 1:144. I would like to display it as if it was simply hanging down, boat in the dockyard, no wind.
Any ideas how to do that? I was thinking of using tissue paper, but that seems too stiff. So I guess some thin cotton might do the trick, but how could I print that myself from both sides?

Is it a standard Kriegsmarine flag ?

If yes you could use a decal stuck onto some thin tinfoil using decal softener.
When semi-dry you can manipulate the tinfoil into the desired shape before the decal dries completely.

Yes, it is a standard Kriegsmarine flag (although the provided decal is not very accurate). Interesting idea.

Is there any way with a natural material that would fall losely, and not be stiff afterwards?
