  1. Use existing standard bearer or pike man with bear flag pole, or<\/li>\n
  2. Cut off cast-on flag then grind down \/ file pole using \u201cDremel \u201c type router.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Prepare paper flag around wire template with diameter slightly less than pole\/pike. This ensures that final push fit is snug. Use \u201cPritt Stick\u201d when gluing sides of flags together. Form folds, gently crease against wire & remove from former before glue dries.<\/li>\n
  4. Super glue in point made from flattened & shaped brass tube; this only needs to extend into paper flag by about 5mm to ensure that most of the hollow is available to slip over pole\/pike, as illustrated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    NB: push fit of the final product enables flags to be swapped on a temporary basis (best varnish the flag if you anticipate frequent handling). Alternatively it super-glued to the pole for permanent fix.<\/p>\n

    This is my new – more simple – system for making standard bearers without\u00a0 having to drill the pike\/pole to take thin wire. However, if the figure does not have a cast on pole then this system still works if you pre-fix one make from plain wire or brass tube.<\/p>\n
