Michael's right arm was amputated, though he made a swift recovery. As a right handed sculptor this posed a large challenge for Michael, though only ten days after the accident he had scultped his first miniature with his left hand. The twins also have good memories of reenacting. Later while reenacting in Switzerland Alan had [[Wikipedia:John_Howe_(illustrator)|John Howe]] fall out of a tree and land on him.{{Fn|2e}} The twins and John became close friends, and while at one of John's art shows in Paris the twins met [[Wikipedia:Peter Jackson|Peter Jackson]].{{Fn|2e}}
