kaintxu Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 So I just built nekima and its already broken. One of the horns snapped. Now what. I have to buy another one, it is so thin there is no way to drill that bit in. It only took for it to break a really soft touch. If I have to buy another one Im definitely not buying wyrds and going for a proxy which was my first idea but I decided to support word because I actually think they deserve it because of the amazing game they made and the models are sweet too but they are going too overboard making bland models with too many thin pieces that snap really easy. My decembers acolite harpon is also broken and it broke while carrying in really soft sponge thing however you call it. ....... so 12 quid to the trash?

Requirement Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Plastic cement? Goes further than forum posts... To actually be helpful: I suggest https://www.google.com/search?q=testors+model+master+liquid+cement&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=testors+model+master+liquid+cement&tbm=shop Testor's Model master liquid Cement for Plastic Models.

zFiend Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Plastic cement really makes it a lot easier and pleasant to put the plastics together. The softness, nothing helps with that I'm afraid. Some models are just "soft" and prone to breakage, looking at you Skeeters and Misaki's hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaintxu Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 IS that plastic cement the same as plastic glue that melts both sides together? I have plastic glue but the surface is too small for it to actually reattach :S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requirement Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 The product I linked does melt the plastic. I really can't suggest it any more highly. I was using "plastic glue" previously (plasti-zap) when I started building gremlins. About halfway through, I purchased this stuff because, hey, it couldn't make the process any harder. It was a serious game changer. Though I haven't seen plastic Nekima in the flesh, the Testors cement has perfectly fixed things such as the strap on Som'er's gun which is likely thinner or the same thickness of the horns. Give it a try, worst case scenario you have to greenstuff up a new horn and you have a new glue to put together future models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I for one, am not going back to any form of glue with the plastics. Plastic cement just works so much better and it really eases on the gaps too. So I fully agree with Requirement here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can throw around Justice by her sword, and no, I have not attached it to a second surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requirement Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Seriously though, I can drop gremlins from waist height onto a tile floor and have few concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
