Fixing broken gaunts

[hivefleetkerrigan]

I have quite a few gaunts who have snapped off at the one leg attached to their base. Whenever I try to reglue them with super glue they just snap off again. Anyone have the same problem and advice for repairs? Any advice for how to reinforce the gaunts legs to avoid this to begin with?

Break of a toothpick, use it as a splinter for a broken leg 😉, and use superglue instead of plastic glue.
Or some plastic of the same size if you have it.

Pin it to the base.


Take a pin vice (it’s a small hand drill) and drill a hole in the chest and base. Then take a bit of paper clip or coat hanger and paint it black. Then use that metal bit to put the vaunt on the base. If people ask why your gaunt has a black rod in it just tell them he wouldn’t stay on his base. They’ll understand.

You could try and be more discreet and put the pin in the hips or legs, but I find putting the pin at the center of mass works best.

Thanks all! I'll give the pinning a shot. I might try to disguise the pin with some clever basing.

I prefer to pin the leg. It is really easier to hide and the pin doesn't have to be so long.

Glue a rock to the base and then the broken leg to the side of the rock for added reinforcement
