I'm not really sure if this belongs here?? But any ways I was doing a ODST trooper in the Image that TTT did Master chief in and Well while Painting the arm the damned this just fell off.... Yes it was as if it was only hanging from a little bit of plastic.....WFT? My question is, Is there a way to fix this? Or am I pretty much SOL?

probably the best thing to do is buy another one, heat it with a hair dryer(don't use boiling water, that might turn the clear plastic a cloudy color), and since using a hair dryer, you'll have to make sure it's super hot, and pop the arm off at the elbow, then swap them, then take the "defect" back and tell them the arm's broken so they don't put it back on the shelf...
If you want to fix it, then you might be able to make a peg out of some sort of plastic(car model tree) and attach it to the upper arm, but I dunno, that might limit the articulation and I'm not sure if the glue would hold.. if you're good at casting, get another spartan, pop the arm piece out(you'll have to cut the middle elbow to get the actual ring out) and then cast it.. other than that, maybe a similar sized ring joint, like a GI Joe female shoulder joint or something.. the only problem there is if it'll fit and the peg long enough.. a lot of "ifs" so again, prob just better to buy another and return the defective arm with the new one after you swap them. |
