Medic!!! Got this action figure from one of my Brothers a long time ago 10+ years ago. I think his leg has been broke since then or longer. Trigun's Nicholas D Wolfwood was an awesome part of the cartoon series and I am just now getting around to fix it. I am a bad boy...but here we go.
Leg peg snapped. Most of the time and the most common thing to do is to just super glue the leg back on...
But I am going to need him to sit down in the future and there is a better way!
First, we have to sand down and clean the two points of the break!
On the hip side, there is a hole I am going to have to cover that up.
Here is a picture of a tiny piece of white plastic I am going to use to cover the hole, also a stack of very strong magnets.... see where I am going here?
Most of the time use a gel-based super glue that way it does not run and if I need to I can build up damaged areas and sand them into shape.
A little more glue on the hip part. have to make sure the magnets are the correct polarity so they do not repel themselves
