British flag

 top-British flag/hand painted: primer &  coats of white, light grey and dark grey chalky paints applied by dry brushing. You need to wait for each one to be dry before applying the next one. Sanded at the end and varnished (needed 5 coats to make it nice & smooth).
Legs & sides: old varnish removed. Clear & white wax applied.
