Building the Old West
O Long may it wave
When Nebraska was admitted as a state in 1867, the US flag had 37 stars as seen here. This is a paper flag from Flags of War. I used a steel wire spear and cut it to size then painted it Army Painter Oak Brown and Vallejo Brass. I then glued the spear into place with some super glue. I then cut out the flag, covered the unprinted side with PVA glue, then wrapped it around the wire spear. I then wrapped the paper around a paint brush to get the curved effect. Once the glue dried I painted any edges that needed it with matching red or blue paint.
