Repairing Figures
Posted by capt6811 on Monday, May 5, 2003 9:04 PM
I was going through a box my dad packed for me years ago.
I found a set of Nazguls riders from LOTR. Several of the figures have the weapons broken off. How do I go about reattaching the weapons to the figures? The breaks appear to be clean but I am not sure what type of adhesive to use. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Depends on the material the figures are made from. Try Super glue, that should work on most materials.

nzgunnie;
I am not sure what material the figures are made of.
They are not heavy and soft like some lead figures.
These figures are possiblily made of a lead and pewter
mix??????
Thanks for the previous tip. I will give super glue a try.
Again thank you for the reply.

If they are metal, super glue should work fine. Another option is 5 minute epoxy (ie Araldite or similar) Again this glue tends to stick just about anything.
