Who do you use for relocking ??

This one for the UK members really.

Up until now Jay has done my flocking and a superb job he did too.

But he is very busy at home and work....plus he would never take any payment so I felt guilty asking him.

I've got my eye on several vintage figures on eBay at the moment as part of my move towards VAM and Joe. And they will need some TLC in the flocking department.

So who do you recommend ??

I would recommend Danny (Danthecoat) of flockstars! he does an amazing job!, custom work too

Original hard hands are almost impossible to find if it's a painthead you've won, KF grippers are about £5 a go at Modellers Loft and should be easy to pick up, I think Ralph sells grippers???. I still need about 8 pairs of grippers and HH for some of my vam who've been on the waiting list for the last 4 years

you get 10 pair of gripping Hands this is who I use, then I twist the hands off the new pegs, and glue them on to old pegs, as the new ones a slightly larger than the old pegs. the new pegs damage the forearm on the arms..

Here`s a tip I did awhile back if it helps,

Thanks for the links Wolfie. I did the same as you, all the vam I have with new grippers have their original wrist pegs

I discovered that a 3.5 mm drill it is the perfect size to use on the forearms so that they take the new wrist pegs.

If you think I'm faffing about changing hands from one lot of pegs to another you can think again

Please post a pic of your Vam when you get it RT...

I definitely will
