Title: real fleece hats
Post by: GaiusIulius on March 20, 2006, 05:27:23 PM

Hi all,

I have been asked several times to post some close-ups of my French Grenadiers with their hats. So here we go. As I wasnt sure about everyworde I added sometimes the German word.

1.: thats what u need to create them:

   - a Klicky  :wink:
   - a round piece of wood (cross section (Querschnitt) at least 2 cm)
        (Balsa-wood is very good for it because it isnt so heavy)
   - glue (Klebstoff)(I used Patex and it worked very well)
   - a piece of fleece
   - some black color

2.:

    - u cut a circle in the wood with a knife so that u have a border from the inner circe to the out one of about 1-2mm (be careful!)
    - u cut the fleece in two parts:
       1) a circle (on top of the hat)
       2) a long rectangle (hight of the hat x (2*Pi*r)  :P ~ 12 cm)
    - u fix the fleece with the glue around the hat
    - u paint the white/wooden parts black
    - u should cut the fleece a little bit  :D
