The body and legs and left sword arm are all separate.So figured this is a good time to try learning how to pin a figure.
There is going to be alot of pressure on the waist superglue joint. so pinning is where you put a piece of a small rod into both pieces before glueing to provide support and stop it from breaking apart if it falls over etc.
So I drilled one one hole into top of legs. Stuck some stickytak on the torso and pressed it down on the legs where they line up.
when you pull away it leaves a nib where the drilled hole was that lines up on the torso where you need to drill.
After drilling then you simply superglue a small rod piece into the base..then put glue in the torso hole and inbetween the two pieces and squeeze together.
The seam is good tho it might need some small greenstuff for blending the edge.
I think i'm gonna do the same for the left arm, tho with a smaller post.
PICS!
