			Pinning miniatures
			Pinning allows model makers to attach small pieces to their miniature models. This is often done with a pin vice and paper clips.

			Step 1 – Drill hole in attachment First, use a pin vice to drill a hole into the attachment piece.



			Step 2 – Use paper clip Snip a piece off an unravelled paper clip to use as your joiner. Place a small amount of superglue on the end of the snipped paper clip and insert into the hole.

			Step 3 – Line up paper clip Line up the open end of the paper clip with your miniature and mark where it is to be attached.

			Step 4 – Drill hole Use your pin vice to drill a hole into the miniature, super glue the other end of the paper clip and insert into the hole, before removing any excess.
