Converting and sculpting plastic figures with soldering iron

Posted by Umpapa on 23 Oct 2015, 18:00

The fastest and most robust way I know of plastic miniatures conversion is to use a soldering iron. Well, it is not very precise, but is very useful to create not-uniformed hordes. I use a cheap stationary electric electronic soldering iron (pen-like). Glue sometimes fall apart, even pinned, weld never.(...) More at my blog: http://umpapas.blogspot.com
