So I have about 20 old RalPartha Gnolls with the separate heads. Excellent figures.

I wanted to make the majority with spears.

Looked around at what others have done and most use pounded out brass rods.

I came up with a slightly different solution.

First I used steel rods. Using my dremel with a sanding wheel, I shaved down both sides of the spear point. The next step was to get some aluminum tubing that just fit the steel rod. I cut the tube about 3-4mm long and fit it to the steel rod at the base of the spearhead. Added super glue and cleaned up with a file the next day.

Excellent idea. Are you able to post pictures of the work in progress, and a final completed shot?

Unfortunately, I do not have the means to post pictures here.

Yeah, you do. Just go here: imgur.com/upload; drag and drop your pix; copy the link and paste it into a message here.
