Thanks! I actually work at a hardware store, and it looks like there's different diameters. What diameter did you use?
Why is that bad? I've been using soldering irons myself to heat the pin up just enough to push it out. Genuinely asking in case there's something I don't know about.
probably because heating the pin would also heat the plastic and thus make it easier to break when trying to force the pin out. Either way a proper support on the other side is still the best idea.
I don't own this figure so can't comment on the specifics. I use the pin removal tools from a watch repair kit. The tools are 1.0mm, 0.9mm and 0.8mm in diameter. https://www.amazon.com/Vastar-Repai...SA==&sprefix=watch+repai,aps,490&sr=8-12&th=1
Is this tool small enough to punch the pins out by themselves without breaking the plastic, or do you use it in conjuction with something like a pin punch set? I can't tell if the ones I'm seeing on Amazon are too big. Help a brother out? ♂️
Just curious, like, how on earth do you ever know which end to push from? They both always look 100 percent exactly the same to me.
I generally look for the pin end that's either closer to the surface or recessed with a tiny bit of plastic on it. That usually always means the burred end is either the one flush with the plastic or the end with some plastic stopped pushing in, meaning the other end is burred.
Thanks. I looked at some pins. I can't see any differences. But, much respect for those brave enough to try this. Seems terrifying to me lol.I'll matvel at your folsom ability to pull off voodoo like this.
The tool is smaller than the pins. No need to use any pin punch set or any other tool beside those included in that kit.
Are you sure the hip skirt design is the same? From memory you would have to insert a pin and glue both sides and then the middle wouldn’t be connected
