Ian that is an excellent technique. I use guitar string, metal size 8, to reinforce my 1/72 scale guys. Slips in very easily and is easier to cut than a pin. One string is about 90 cents and lasts a long time.

Another household item is when converting plastic guys chop a pin in half and force it into a part-model - you can usually get away with cutting them at the waist, force the pin into the lower half and then the upper half you want will thread onto the pin's sharp end.
