Although I've converted lots of plastic figures, I've never used metal components before.
I bought (& painted!) a unit of Minifigs French SYW Grenadiers de France but they're just too big to use with my 20mm army: they look ridiculous.
However, their distinctive bearskins look useable.
The plan is to hacksaw them off & stick them onto the heads (de-tricorned) of Strelets' GNW dragoons to create German etranger cavalry suitable for the SYW. (such as Royal Allemand: http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php? ... _Cavalerie )
It seems fairly simple but I can't pin the hats as per usual so the glue seems vital.
2-part epoxy?
Any tips in general?
