These were not sculpted by the greatest talent but have their own charm - plus the advantage of being well known friends to us since we were kids. Come to think of it, many of the poses are reminiscent of medieval manuscript figures |
Your archers could use some bow strings.
Believe it or not, there are a couple of ways to do this.
The first would be sail rigging. This is very fine yet elastic string used in ship models. A pin vice with some very small bits could be useful for drilling "cheater holes" in the bow and the archer's hand.
Another way to go would be to find 30 gauge "bread board" wrapping wire.
While its a very fine wire, it has an almost ideal quality where it can hold a shape. With "wire wrap" its also easy to strip off the insulation if you need a finer diameter and much easier to paint.
Its easier to paint, much stronger, and easier to make it look like its under tension.
