rsvictor1976 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I noticed the upper arm section on my 1/48 Roy is starting to get loose from the shoulder section. Anyway to retighten this? I tried the screws behind but it didn't really do anything when I tightened them (they were already pretty snug). Here is a pix of what I'm talking about: [attachmentid=40275] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsvictor1976 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Noob question. Where exactly do I apply the nail polish? clear nail polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Noob question. Where exactly do I apply the nail polish? first, remove the two screws in the back of the shoulder. when you split shoulder into two halves, you'll see the top of bicep slides inbetween them. apply the nail polish to which ever half makes contact with the bicep. its pretty straight forward. hope that makes sense?

Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) I'll edit my post again in case the shoulder is the problem!! You have to disassemble the shoulder and put a light coat of nailpolish over the balljoint with a brush. Let it dry at least 12 hours before re-assembling. It's a simple and quick fix!!

do not disturb Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 whoops! i should've asked if it was the shoulder ball joint thats loose or just the bicep. my tip or Ignacio tip will help one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It's a gret solution and it works wonders. Btw, did you guys just sort of ninja that nail polish from your girlfriend makeup pack like I did? Or did you actually go into a store and buy nail polish?!? Did the clerk at the register say anything? har har Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No girlfriend currently so I'm gonna have buy some at the local market during my lunch break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Wood glue also works. Probably better, as acetone in nail polish slightly dissolves the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
