Title: Plastic Bayonets?
Post by: armchairgeneral on December 11, 2019, 12:42:56 PM: Does anyone sell plastic bayonets as an accessories sprue? I find plastic superglues quite well to metal so I find them useful for doing repairs where bayonets have broken off or if I just want to add a bayonet to a musket that doesn't have one.

For my 20mm Classic Napoleonics I have been using HaT figures and cutting off the bayonets.

I use those and they work very well and there are plenty on a sprue!

Edit - misread, I use the Wargames Factory now Warlord Games AWI ones.
