Then take the two halfs and drill and pin them together, after you can put one of those skirt things on to cover the waist down to the knees. I would also suggest putting wide sabatons on his feet.<br />Cheerscount of wymbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406393049994628099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296202536185481186.post-79760479308389777942012-12-18T00:18:14.329-08:002012-12-18T00:18:14.329-08:00You've hit the nail on the head there Pete, I ...You've hit the nail on the head there Pete, I may do the same with some Foundry Landsknechts and added bits from the mercenaries boxed set.
