| Dear Gurus, I have an Azreal pewter mini that I'll be converting to a BT Castellan. As part of the hack I thought of replacing the left DW shoulder pad with a BT version as seen in the pic below: ![[WTA] Proper Method to Remove Pewter Shoulder Pad Img1247za](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img155/3766/img1247za.jpg) So aside from filing it away, are there better alternatives on how I could go about achieving this? PS Hope I posted this in the right folder!

| The shoulder pad on the pewter is actually a one-piece-model with torso? If yes.. sadly, I have no idea how to cut it (That is the reason I steer clear from metal minis...~_~)
Any sifu-sifu have any idea of how to achieve it? I'm curious on how do u guys convert metal minis as well... | |
