Best to get the wire without the green cióvering as it doesn´t hold paint very well. Simply cut to length and using a small hammer, bash one end flat (any hard Surface will do to Support the wire) When flattened, cut to shape with an old pair of scissors and file with a metal file. I´ve done an "How to" Here;<br />http://paulsbods.blogspot.com/2011/03/making-spearslances.htmlPaul´s Bodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698894821198907112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-33078080445292869702018-06-26T23:47:02.325-07:002018-06-26T23:47:02.325-07:00beautiful work! can I ask you how did you make the...beautiful work! can I ask you how did you make the spears?MizioCaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305331227017228807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-43661903251034311972017-05-14T10:50:21.437-07:002017-05-14T10:50:21.437-07:00I am starting to see the attraction of 1/72 plasti...I am starting to see the attraction of 1/72 plastics and your wonderful conversions and painting have a big input in this.Silver Whistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621423467123295954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-59431372304484599592017-05-08T10:49:20.514-07:002017-05-08T10:49:20.514-07:00Thanks Zirrian.

Any evidence Shows left handedness was at least frowned upon in the middle Ages (and before and after9 ..Joan of arc for instance. There is no evidence of her being left or right handed but she is depicted as being left handed (sinister) most likely to Support the church´s Claim of her heresy. Would a highly religious army have follwed her if she had of been not only a woman but also a lefthanded one? Not likely.Paul´s Bodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698894821198907112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-79279960572018498192017-05-07T07:12:29.259-07:002017-05-07T07:12:29.259-07:00Great painted figs and very interesting informatio...Great painted figs and very interesting informations.Lonewolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369018154418649216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-34133078225108791002017-05-06T20:43:52.725-07:002017-05-06T20:43:52.725-07:00excellent paintingexcellent paintingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190258354857460493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-77995794900007820102017-05-06T11:52:18.408-07:002017-05-06T11:52:18.408-07:00Sorry to read that.

The molded on flags is a Thing of mine along with them molding symbols on shields and clothes, IMHO, a pain because sets like These can be used for other european armies and it means lots of fiddly work to remove the molded marks. It also would make the sets a Little bit more appealing to collectors so they can add them to thier armies without spending time taking the moldings off.
