I've been working on some Aeronef ships (Brigade Models figures) for a while now, and finally finished up the British fleet.
I figured people would be interested in the name placards. Here's how I made them. First, I made a table in a word processor, placing the flag images in each one. I gathered the names from lists of period ships (Thank you, Wikipedia) and filled them into the table. I then printed it onto a sheet of adhesive label and attached it to a piece of 0.010" plastic sheet.
I cut the placards out with a x-acto knife and straightedge, then glued them to pieces of 2mm plastic "L" beam.
Lastly I superglued them to the back of the ships's bases.

Aeronef is my next probable scale/game project.

Great job on the painting, they look truly 'Ship-shape and Bristol fashion'
