Gomez Addams Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 So I'm putting together my guild guard today and I noticed that one of the swords is slightly miscast. Its slightly thinner near the hilt which makes it look odd but also makes it fairly weak (so eventually, its going to break). Now I'm not too fussed about getting it replaced by wyrd as its fairly minor, but I'm just not sure how to go about it (I know its fixable, just having a bit of a mental block). So, has anyone else had a similar problem? Anyone got any suggestions for fixing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmiles Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Greenstuff it or solder it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_hazard Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I would suggest either greenstuff, which could be difficult getting a thin enough amount, or use some araldite (two-part epoxy glue) which would go on thin and retain a little flexibility when dry.

Stargazer Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Do not solder it!! You'll melt the metal and ruin the model. As said earlier resculpt it with either greenstuff, milliput or some other 2 part epoxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
