Then drill hand and mace head for new shaft made from brass rod.

Then I needed to remove the handle of the mace from the body with an exacto knife.

After gluing mace head to the handle I glued the mace to the hand and filled the hole from where the mace originally was attached

Really nice work Michael...great job...

Nice work! Now you have the only knight like that, with a mace held up over his head, instead of a sword. I think that's cool.

More remains to be seen. I figured I am modifying it anyways......

I had it almost done at this point when I got cute. I had to seal the paint on the handle and add some grain. I said "Self, why not make it really a one off....."

Well anytime you are looking for some new ones let me know. I am thinking about making some French Crusaders. Or, at the very least French Knight. I got some fleur des lis at the Chicago show.

Very nice o'kilted one! Thanks for the follow along.

Great lesson on turning a disaster into a one-of-a-kind treasure.

FWIW, I like your version better than the original. I always figured that, if I were a knight, I'd prefer a mace to a sword.

Thanks PJ. The war hammer was a much better tool than even the mace. It was designed to perforate armour. Wonder why Andy never uses them for the figures?

I s'pose a panzerfaust would be out of the question? Anon.

Not if you want to send me one! I could put some goggles on him too. Kinda like Lawrence of Arabia!

Beside the Panzerfaust are there any requests?
