I've never found a satisfactory glue for them and the horse poses don't give much scope for drilling into a leg.Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-24096325491726879702016-02-11T05:26:40.654+00:002016-02-11T05:26:40.654+00:00Very cool!
