Spaceman

2/13/2017

I have always wanted soldiers with a space suit that is similar to this one.


So I purchased these little wire pieces.


They are also sold as jewelry findings at Michael's and similar craft shops.


These are a rather soft wire.


I also got some map pins and resin cast some US flamethrower tanks.


I cut the head off of the figure, and filed a groove in the backpack for the wire piece.


I drilled a hole in the neck of the figure and then glued on the map pin, wire, and backpack.


I glued the map pin with gap filling super glue.


The wire and backpack got glued with Goo rubber cement.  The figure is an Airfix Luftwaffe figure.
