How to tighten front skirts that are split into two

Hey there!!! It's time for another tip from yours truly. :D

In this entry, we'll deal with mainly the front skirts of HG kits. For some of you know HG front skirts are molded as one part in the runners. But Bandai gives us option to cut it in the middle so when we do some poses of our kits, the skirts would follow the articulation perfectly.

We now concentrate on the front skirts that are cut into two and are loosely connected when built back into the crotch part of the kit.

How to brace a broken part (beam magnum)

In this post, I will show you how I do proper bracing for a broken accessory. Bracing you might ask is some how similar to braces that are used in the medical field, such as braces in your sheen, your arms etc. 

The basics of braces is to apply a strong metal brace inside two broken parts which will help join the two broken parts together. Having braces may even be stronger than having none. But don't get me wrong here, apply braces on broken parts only. Don't destroy parts just to put braces on them.

Anyway, this would be similar to all other issues that require braces, such as broken ball joint, broken peg, or any large part that needs to be put together and stay together.

So here is how you do it.



Tools:

File (flat)
Pliers/Cutter 
Pin vise (same size with your flexi wire)
Flexi wire (Galvanized wire, bought in hardware stores)
Super glue (mighty bond)
