I drill it out the hand and then glue a replacement in. Hence the wire or flat bar stock. Makes it rock solid and the same length.
Yo Troopers, getting nervous here lol, first its petrol and distemper brushes, now its drills and vices from KV. If anyone mentions blow torches thats it.

Yo Trooper, thats a good distemper brush you have is it a "Harris" lol, starting to look like they are getting ready for the Queens Birthday Parade. Think the Lincoln green Busby bags are nice, but think the yellow trim around them will make them look stunning. Nice work Jeff the horses have come up really good.

Mike,
I don't think that I will be allowed D) to "Enhance" the paintwork as this will detract from the original style of as you say, the classic look. I will be over painting the original detail as closely as possible in the new colours.
I wonder just what these figures would look like with a full makeover?

Again, well done!
Are the horses Britain's originals, too? Or am I forgetting something from earlier in the thread.....
Anyway, this shows the charm of the toy soldier style, I think. I can see a regiment of these fellows deployed across a living room carpet, charging home!
Prost!

Yo Troopers, is this guy a class act or what. Jeff they are SUPERB cheers mate. From a tatty set of 13th Hussars into a smart looking 18th Hussars. Think I will make the Surgeon general an honorary Hussar lol, he was just meant to be one. What do you think of them guys, and he used a distemper brush as well
Bernard.
Another superbly painted set by Jeff. They will great in your display cabinet Bernard, which must be getting full by now !!!
