Hi all, I know the title of the topic sounds a little weird so I´ll try to explain it.

I just got the Dragon 1/35 sturmartillerie crew set of 4 figures and they come with PE headphones.

You can see them in this photo:

The thing is one of the figures is holding the headphones but the fist is closed.

What can I do to hold the headphones properly without cutting off the fingers? I suspect I will need to buy separate hands but I´d like to avoid that if possible.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The simplest solution is to make two shallow cuts into the a hand (one between the thumb and index finger, the other in the crease made by the folded small finger). Measure the width of the hand, and remove that amount from the middle of the headphones band. Now attach the remaining pieces to the already-cut slots, and you have the impression of the headphones being held.

Any luck with the headphones? Did you try my suggested method?
