Fettster Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Assembling nico box set and broke one of the swords on the punk zombies. Tried glueing together and not taken and too small to pin. Since it wasnt broken when I bought it seems wrong to ask for a replacement so after suggestions how I might fix or replace it. Thanks Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huang Da Wei Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I found that they were really too thin. I carefully bent them into shape and 'painted' a thin layer of super glue over the whole length.. Could you maybe roll out some very thin green stuff to attatch to the back of the broken one, once dried file it down a bit thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardshark Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 if you have any plastic swords in your bits box from other game systems, you can file it off at the hand then try to glue/pin a new sword on- might be easier at the hand than on the blade.

iamthefly Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Cut the hand off at the wrist and graft a blade/length of chain into the stump. make it look like the master did it on purpose because the corps's hand wouldn't hold the sword properly.

bucket_boy101 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 You could've tried zip-kicker before you attempted to glue it together, makes it a lot quicker to set the super-glue and means a lot less fiddling with the sword.

Fettster Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I did use Zip kicker, but the contact point just seems too small. Looks like building a replacement from my bits box may be the solution. Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
