I don't know if anyone has tried this before but here you go, First, I took 18g wire and twisted. Second, place the wire about where you are "welding" and bend the wire along any folds or bends. Third, hit your wire with your soldering iron (Don't be like me and burn yourself after you just burned yourself!) Fourth, add paint and done. One tip, start heating in the center this should help keep the wire where you started. And again, don't burn yourself! I lost count around thirty times last night. (epic fail)
I don't get the Poll.....It just don't fit. (It's like pitting Ice Cream in a Hot Dog store....It makes little since. )
Dairy queen would like a word with you, lol Nice work on the custom and great idea. One I'd use if I didn't utterly suck withh a soldering iron.
What does the poll have to do with the custom? And what is the custom, battle damage or are you repairing a damaged figure?
