My fansproject backfiery took a nosedive off the shelf.. and one of his antennas on his robot head broke. Does anyone have any suggestions what to do, I've tried glueing myself but even using the types of plastic glues I normally use for my warhammer miniatures, it wouldn't do the trick. Is there any way I could replace it with the antennas from a KO or something? Thank you
I'd try drilling the smallest possible hole in both segments and running some sort of filament through both with an adhesive. Need a very small drill attachment, though.
Maybe try cutting a paper clip, just a tiny segment of it and inserting one end into the piece that snapped off, and then the other end into the base of the antennae. That might be a quick fix, since that is softer plastic as well.
It really is thin though, if you care about aesthetics I would just cut the other side to match and shape both attenae to a point of the original look just shorter and move on.
If super glue doesn't work, I might suggest Pro Weld or Bondene. Ambroid Pro Weld - Amazon.com Amazon.com: Bond-2 Bondene 2 oz: Toys & Games The basically melts the plastic to 'weld' them together. I don't know if it's the right type plastic but it's worth a shot. They work on ABS and other types. I have some Pro Weld and haven't used it for much yet but it worked great on a piece from my MMC Screecher toy.
