Hawkman Wing Attachment

[Bronxboykev]

Hi all

I think I know the answer but any advice is greatly appreciated.
I just got some Hawkman wings from Doc and my usual method of affixing attachments Aleen Sticky glue dots do not Adheese to the Wings.
Am I going to have to use Fabric Glue Crazy Glue???... Help a brotha out lol.

The year of White Lanterns Project thanks you.

I use a small screw to attach them.

What I did was drilled a hole in his back and added a dowel to the wings. It is effective

I used crazy glue that had a purple tint to it and it's still holding. I was pretty impressed. I was afraid a screw would destroy the foam. I tried to find a place where the contours were similar and stuck it to it.

Any one have a pic of the Screw method!!! Do I have to drill into the body?

here are some pics of mine. Its held so far, I mean I'm not letting the kids hang him outside the car window when we drive down the road but its been good enough to stay on to and from school in a backpack and on display. I think I used crazy glue gel which didn't seem as runny.

Thanks Tom. If I have to use glue then so be it. Wanted to try to avoide it because they weren't behind glued to the body my outfit has a cloth top.

I didn't consider a cloth top in the mix. Velcro like Kosmickenny suggested? Post it when finished

You do not need a big screw to hold them in place, they are made of foam and are light.

I went the glue rout for the time being... Not confident enough in my skills to drill into the back... Waiting on emblems then he will join his brothers in White Light

I opened the chest, and ran the screw from the inside of the body out, so you could not see it.
