Da Big Baws Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) My brother was trying to assemble my second Nurse for me and while trying to fit the siringe arm (which wasn't fitting snugly like the first Nurse so he had to use a little force), the little peg on the Nurse's leg broke off. Anyone know of a quick/easy fix? Edited December 1, 2011 by Da Big Baws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Big Baws Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Have you tried superglue? I was thinking of something more secure than a plastic to metal superglue bond. Pin it? Gorilla Glue Superglue? My brother is thinking of that. But I am not sure a pin sticking out between the legs (legs are pointy, so pinning there is a no go) will look good...maybe paint it back and hide it visually with the black base.

mistercactus Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) In seriousness, pin it if you have a pin vise. If not, you can try "sticky pinning" - putting a little greenstuff between the 2 parts (put superglue on both the parts too). Edit: Cut off the bottom part of the leg. Pin straight up into the upper leg/ bloomers, leaving your pin long enough to wrap some gs around to resculpt the lower leg. It should be a simple enough design to be done pretty easily.

Ratty Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I actually removed a leg from both my nurses, put a pin in instead and then used a tiny bit of greenstuff to give it back the shape. Much much sturdier. In this picture the leg on the left is a paper clip with a tiny bit of greenstuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that edit wasn't there when I typed my post. But that's exactly what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model is getting primmed black and base will be black too, so it should be hardly noticeable to most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistercactus Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ratty, I swear the edit was made before you posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
