What does everyone recommend for replacing 10mm flagstaffs? I'm not sure if there is a particular wire gauge or something else I should be using. |

I've used brass wire successfully for 12mm figures; steel piano wire would be even stronger but obviously harder to cut. |

Any particular gauge Khanscom? |

K+S Precision Metals .020" Solid brass rod has worked really well on my 10mm Napoleonics. You can even flatten the tips to get that spear point finial. |

I bought a brush that has brown flexible plastic "bristles." These have been used as pikes, spears, flagstaffs and javelins for my troops. Literally more than ten a penny. I cut to length then squash one end with pliers. Then they are trimmed with cheap nail clippers. The curve allows you to choose how broad bladed a spearpoint suits you. Note these can be sharp so drink responsibly ;-) Have fun. |
