Hey guys, I was taking a digitizing break last night and wondered what the USS Sea Tiger's battle flag would have looked like had she been a real sub.

Here's what I came up with....



Yep, that's a nurse's cap and a truck kill. :-) :-) :-)

Hi Kenny

It is a good exercise :-)
And also looks convincing

I like it Kenny. One suggestion? Maybe the background should be pink, to reflect the pink sub?

No but seriously, Bro, very clever, mate, I love it! Thanks for brightening up my day at the office...

Don't you just hate creative people? :-) Not only did he do a great job, but made the changes in about two hours. I love this flag. I think Jim should consider Kenny for any future artwork needed on Model Shipwrights.

Wow Ken! Tough choice. I like the original, but I like the addition of the girdle on the other as well.

Hilarious!
