Quantrill's Toy Soldiers

 I am looking for collective brain waves here. The flooding of my garage, I have now discovered, completely filled some plastic drawers. These contained toy soldiers that got a nice wash. The plastics and home cast metals are easily dried. However, more hollowcast than I had thought were also drowned. These included 20 marching Hilco ACW Federals with original paint. Presently they are standing on their heads to allow water to run out but the holes on their kepis are small.   I expect it might take a long time for moisture to be removed unless I lop off their heads, something I prefer not to do.
