Apply the glue and put a little pressure on the peg until it sets up. Let it completely cure overnight before applying any weight to it. After that you may have to do a bit of clean-up around the join but you should be good to go from there. Just be careful with it once it's fixed cause that part does not look sturdy enough. |

As for simplicity I use the method he just said. i build Gundams all the time (hence the name.lol) This method works for me. I use both theTananx and Ambroid plastic welds. Use one of those let harden over night (though it dries in seconds) and then coat with a drop of super glue [I mostly use the gel but the thin works too] and then let that harden. That is the simplest method. Epoxy works great too but I never have had to use it. The Super glue adds strength. It all depends on how much wear and tear you plane to place on the joint.
I practically rebult a joint for the gundam in my Avatar using shavings of sprue and Tanex. The joint on one of the arms that connect to one of the the pincer claws was was broken. [If you notice it is a modified Gundam Ashtron. The claws aren't extended in the avatar because they were broken at the time.lol]
BTW I saw that red fram kit at AWA [Anime Weekend Atlanta] last month. I was tempted but I put it back. Cool design, there was one even in the art show. I have the action figure on my entertainment center.lol |
