Spaceman

 

I have always wanted soldiers with a space suit that is similar to this one.

So I purchased these little wire pieces.

They are also sold as jewelry findings at Michael's and similar craft shops.

These are a rather soft wire.

I also got some map pins and resin cast some US flamethrower tanks.

I cut the head off of the figure, and filed a groove in the backpack for the wire piece.

I drilled a hole in the neck of the figure and then glued on the map pin, wire, and backpack.

I glued the map pin with gap filling super glue.

The wire and backpack got glued with Goo rubber cement.  The figure is an Airfix Luftwaffe figure.
