How did you do that? It must have been very fiddly..
Silflor tufts? Good idea but at the rate I produce units it would turn out a bit expensive :-D

Thanks Paul and Ray!

Hi Paul B, cut off old standard, cut it up, file pieces into shape, drill and fit new shaft, make square plaque, green stuff sculpting. Doddle. ;-)

Silflor isn't too bad if you buy the big packs; goes a long way!

Drill and fit new shaft!! How small was the drill bit!? and more importantly..how did you hold the bits to be able to drill them?
Cheers

Hi Paul, around 1mm, using a hand held bit. Hold figure in one hand, drill in other, drill. It's pretty easy, and with practice one can drill out a the middle of a cylinder as small as 1.3 mm diameter or so, so in this case my new brass shaft is drilled into the middle of the old one.

You guys with your easy peasy plastics; don't know you are born! It's a man's world, metals. ;-)

Cheers, Simon
