Da Big Baws Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Anyone have those chains break? They seems like a weak spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culven Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I didn't have them break, but I have some tricks I use to reinforce such pieces. One is to apply a layer of Thin superglue. This is the glue with the consistancy of water, not medium or thick superglue. This will coat the metal without obscuring too much detail. The other trick for long chains or other thin bits, like the Necrotic Machine's front legs, is to bend them just a little so that they actually touch the model at another point where it can be glued together. Typically, long, thin bits that aren't supported are just waiting to be snagged on something and broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I haven't broken the Judge's chain yet, but I dread that eventual day. It was such a pain to get attached in the first place, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghiest1 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Typically what I do is buy jewelry chain (Joann's fabrics) put some thin wire through it ant just replace it altogether. In this manner you can also play with it's pose as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Monkey Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 My scales have been fine so far but judge has always been a pain, especially nightmare judge, his chain is always bending, I may have to follow Ghiest1's suggestion if replacing it entirely, for more strength, stability and flexibility with pose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Never thought of using jeweler's chain. Great advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I simply cut it off before even beginning working on removing the mould lines - saw no point in leaving the chain as it's way too weak to stay unbroken for long. The jeweler's chain is a good solution, you can put some super glue on it and turn it into any shape you want for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Madman Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I may have to try these techniques My killjoy is very close to breaking and my mechanical rider broke during assembly >( while the rider's chain is a small loss(IMO) I'd hate to try to drill to fix Kiljoys 0.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Big Baws Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Now that I think about it, my brother may have a few plastic chains in his bitbox from Warhammer Fantasy leftover from the new Ogre Kingdoms Monster's Chain trap kit. But they may be too big for the Judge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
