Straps. Yuck.

Having spent a few hours adding gasmask cases, I have reached the conclusion that the shiny surface of the figures really doesn't lend itself to adding Milliput straps. The Milliput struggles to adhere with such a small surface area in contact, leading to the straps dropping off when dry. A possible solution would be to glue the area first, or indeed to glue the dry strapping on, but if I am gluing then I feel lead foil straps are a better idea.

So, all I need is lead foil and I don't have any at present. I do, however, have a large bag of lead sheeting from the local scrap merchant. I shall, therefore, endeavour to batter and roll the sheet to within an inch of its life. Well, a few mm anyway.
