Repair suggestions? Please help! TV Magazine exclusive Fire SL Grand Convoy

Postby magnusalpha » Tue Sep 01, 2009 9:55 am

Motto: "Do not be afraid of the unknown. Seek it out."
Weapon: Sword
I figured the kitbashers would have the best ideas in this situation, and besides no one has given any suggestions in the regular toy forum.

Yesterday I received my TV Magazine exclusive Fire SL Grand Convoy. I wanted to take pictures of it in vehicle mode before setting him on the shelf for eternal display, so per directions I gently flipped the legs down from the underside, one at a time.

While moving one of the legs down, the lower leg came off in my hand. The "hole" half of the knee joint had broken in half. It's composed of the same orange plastic as the chest armor. I knew semi-transparent plastic was a little more brittle, but this was beyond that. Upon closer inspection, the inside circumference of the two "hole" pieces has several small cracks radiating from the center.

Currently there is one half-circle of the knee joint surrounding the "peg" part of the knee joint (lower leg), and the U-shaped other half of the broken knee joint still attached to the upper leg.

They fit together just perfect, and I'm not sure if careful application of superglue would be the right choice. Am I better off just leaving him in truck mode and call it a loss?

Thanks for any suggestions. I apologize for a lack of pictures, but I can't seem to get non-blurry Macro shots.
