| The second set of flags awaiting a few more judicious highlights once successfully (??!!) cut out and attached to the flagpoles carried by the two ensigns. |
Purportedly the words of a GDR tank commander as his formation rolled into Prague in 1968. I certainly feel a similar case of deja vu following a long Saturday afternoon of carefully painting the second set of Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment standards in a week.
Fortunately, it was another chilly, wet day highly conducive to remaining down here in Zum Stollenkeller with some vintage Miles Davis and John Coltrane playing in the background. A "No Day" as I proclaimed to the Grand Duchess while we enjoyed a glass or two of pinot noir together late Friday evening.
But back to the flags Mk. II.
Plain old white printer paper this time around, which is a bit easier to work with than rice paper. Not too bad all things considered. Now, if only I can trim and attach them without repeating last week's mishap before adding a few highlights once furled into shape.
Hold your collective breath and cross your fingers.
