Quite a few years back, I received a commission to build up the Imex series of armored knights and the client asked for one of the figures to be armed with a morning star or flail - whatever you call 'em. I used a little HO scale chain, made up two balls of Milliput, and used sewing needles to make up the spikes. The client loved it, but I gotta be honest - I had way too much fun swinging that thing around! Dangerous as heck, but it worked to keep the ex-wife's cat away from the bench...
