Re: 1 / 72 figures hand-holes too narrow for spears - not even one idea in my mind how to solve this

My usual solution is to use an Archimedes drill and either a 1mm or 1.5mm drill bit depending on the size of hole, and that for me has always worked

Re: 1 / 72 figures hand-holes too narrow for spears - not even one idea in my mind how to solve this

A large pin like on a pinback button. You slide the point in until you get the fat part in, then slide it out & slip in your spear. If this doesn't work, while the pin is in the whole, twirl it a bit to make the hole bigger. Slide spear in immediately! Nice thing is, hole closes back giving you a tight fit! If this fails, use drill or cut it & get out your hot glue gun!

Note: This does NOT work with Strelets Romans & their Gladius! Just the spear!

Oh, I didn't know you were talking about ESCI! Get the glue gun out my friend! It's the only way!

Why not post your query on one forum and read the replies rather than duplicating it on another forum?

Re: 1 / 72 figures hand-holes too narrow for spears - not even one idea in my mind how to solve this

i simply cut the ring (O = C) so i can fit comfortably any spear or sword inside.
the sword will stay perfectly in its place, but if you need extra stability you can glue it (but you need the right glue for the plastic).
anon: probably in this way one can duplicate evene the answers.

Vinikolic must be a Dadaist, taking the mickey out of us (2016 is the centenary of the Dadaist movement). Just can't believe that anyone can be so dense, so devoid of imagination...

da-da-da-da-da
: )

hello everybody and thank you very much for your ideas.

this problem is solved - 4me @least

firstly i've cut O hands to C hands and than i put lances, but after that i cut arms a bit (like in the picture) so that i can (using a bit of force) insert the spears.
