Speers (12)

Description

12 Spears

We have been thinking for a long time about the tiresome topic of spears in 28mm miniatures. There are different approaches with different advantages and disadvantages:

• Cast pewter spears – look realistic, but are often clunky and bend easily.
• Steel spears with hammered and ground spearheads – are stable, but the spearhead is not very realistic and rather unsightly, and they regularly get painfully stuck in the fingers.
• Plastic spears – are realistically designed, but break very easily or are unrealistically thick.

Our approach combines the advantages of an attractive realistic design of a cast white metal spearhead with the durability of an iron pin spear shaft.

Included are 12 spears

• 12 spearheads with 6 different designs (randomly selected from the 6 designs)
• 4 x approx. 9 cm black iron pins with a diameter of 1mm

Instructions:

1. Cut spear shafts to the desired length. We recommend using a side cutter.
2. File the ends of the spear shafts smooth.
3. Using a 1mm drill or cutter, drill the already existing hollows at the spear tips a little deeper.
4. Glue the spears together with super glue.
5. Using a file, file the connection between the spear tip and the spear shaft a little slimmer if desired.

On the second picture are some examples where the spears are used.
