I need some pikes for my medieval/renaissance armies and I was wondering what
solutions others have used, the standard spear being too short for a pike. I
thought of shaving off the axe blade from the gray halberd, which leaves a
longer spear, but it has that clunky squared off section, and a pike should be
longer than a halberd in any case. I can get a long enough effect with a spear
mated to a lightsabre, though at the cost of a rather unsatisfying color
combination. Any suggestions?

First you take a part #3848 castle pike and then take a part #3673 Technic Pin black, and then you take a part #3957 (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)
