spafe Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 So like I'm sure many of you have experienced, my copycat killer has broken. That ridiculously teenie connection to the base (his scissors point!) has given up. I intially considered drilling into the blade and pinning it to the base, but that proved too small a point to drill into, so my next thought was to jsut drill into his knee and have a pin painted black to hold him in the air coming from that. I thought I'd check on here first though to see if anyone here has come up with a more clever solution for this fix (or am I the only one to have broken one?) Thanks!

(Keenan) Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm still using the metal one, for all the use Seamus gets right now, but what comes to mind right away would be a scenic base made of plastic that you could bump CCK next to something and use plastic glue to bond them. Something like the new plastic bases that Wyrd has recently put out. Or a scenic base made of a different material that you can drill into a feature of the base and CCK and pin it. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnternalVoid Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 I had converted mine myself to avoid it being on the scissor tip. I took the hats off and left him with only the top hat *so he only has one* then put him on a small mount of rocks so it looks like he was hopping about on the rocks a bit and then used a little green stuff to "Fix" the scissors so they looked proper. That way I have two points of contact with his feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I put a rock behind the shears and not only glued him to the base but to the rock as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spafe Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Cheers guys. I think I have goofed up then already as mine is on a cobblestones base insert (or was!), so rocks might look out of place. Might see about converting a tipped over trash can or similar though to put on the base and glue his feet too. Thanks for the range of ideas though! I think I'll copy you @EnternalVoid, and greenstuff the tip back onto it. I assume greenstuff will adhere to a painted model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Put a wall on the cobblestone base and use it to have a second attachment point? I think I have his heels touching a wall, but putting it behind the scissors should also work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBugman Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I saw where that model's structural integrity was going and put a metal pin through the base into pants/crotch. I did it to several of the belles and doxies, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spafe Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 yes, that's what I ended up doing, paperclip from base to crotch with plenty of superglue. Not had any issues wih the belles yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
