Moosey Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well, this the first time I had a major breakage on a 1/60 V2 VF-1 in a long time. So will Tamiya extra thin plastic cement be best for fixing this? Sorry dude, same happened to my Max 1A. I used plastic weld to fix it. It's held so far.

SuperHobo Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Sorry dude, same happened to my Max 1A. I used plastic weld to fix it. It's held so far. Interesting, so this breakage has happened on someone else's VF-1 copy. I wonder if the plastic just wasn't molded correctly or maybe it was just poorly handled at the factory. I'll try some glue a friend recommended. Edited October 31, 2016 by SuperHobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which shop did you guy bought it from? I don't think the Tamiya thin-cement can secure it properly, but you can try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC-X Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Tamiya thin-cement definitely not good enough. Try Plastic Magic from Deluxe Materials. This is a beast for joining plastic of most types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Thanks for the tip, I'll try this if the glue a friend recommended does not work. Just make sure you try it first on some plastic before applying it directly to the figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 After two attempts of glueing the two halves together, it's holding on the 2nd try. There will be a scar across the neck piece, but at least it's holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 think of it as battle damage! good job sir! glad you got it sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 If you want, I could probably recreate that piece and put it on shapeways. Has anyone else had their neck break like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I think the neck piece should be fine....for now. But if it does break again I'll contact you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
