Hello all!

Recently a member of my Airborne Elite was somehow broken off from his stand-- his feet are still attached but the rest of the body is not.

Is there a resource on this site for repairing this sort of thing?

Regards,
Doug

Easy fix depending if it snapped off or was twisted off ( cleaner break if snapped)

Use a tiny drill to make a hole in the feet and leg stumps. If no drill a scapel, or just use a paperclip and grind the tip side ways on cement to make an improvised flat diagonal edge to use as a drill.


Or just heat the tip of the paper clip with a lighter to drill/melt a hole in both sides.

What ever method you use, take a tiny piece of paperclip and pin the two parts, like a bone inside the repair.

Let us know how it works out :)


Or if its a badly damaged figure just send me your mailing address and I can send you one.

Well jeez, even I found that helpful, now I know the best way to fix my own. And I thought Krazy Glue was good enough. :|
