It's definitely a first-world problem, but I suspect I'll have to carry around a container for each game to collect all the bits that fall off so I can glue them back on at a later stage.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-10287301286331512102019-07-13T04:06:57.570-07:002019-07-13T04:06:57.570-07:00Thanks Keith.

I usually swap lead for the metal ones that can seriously injure players but it's not unusual for those to pop off. Closed hands that can be bored out are usually safe, but it's more common for the open hand. #ancientwargamerproblemsdavebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-82730348251514716882019-07-12T16:35:42.794-07:002019-07-12T16:35:42.794-07:00Fantastic effort to get this whole collection comp...Fantastic effort to get this whole collection completed in four months Lawrence. I know what you mean about separate hands/arms etc - plastics are ok because the glue actually melts the two surfaces together, but superglue on metals always seems to have the odd issue here and there!rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512576686142959856.post-63603459449597896062019-07-12T14:11:31.364-07:002019-07-12T14:11:31.364-07:00Thanks Codsticker.
