Need repair for SS Sauron

[Bonbon]

Hi guys

I had a SS - Sauron, buught some years back. The good old Sauron not the recent silver version
This is the exact model:

However overtime it had started to learn backwards as I suspect the peg insert into the base is loose. Picture below for reference:


Further more some of the spikes on the head had crack and broken as it fell down some time back. I had since keep the statue in its original box as I am sad to see in this state for display.

Wonder who can do a good job. I am based in Singapore.

It doesn't seem like a hard thing to correct, as such You could think about repairing it Yourself, since the costs of shipping this statue can get quite ridiculous.

What is the exact nature of the peg damage? Some additional pics would be nice. If the peg on the base is loose, You could straighten it out, and then fill the resulting hole/crevice with some modeling putty or a hard, two-part glue, to keep it in place.

If however it's the insert hole on the foot that got too big and makes the statue wobbly, then fill the hole with a little bit of putty, put the statue on the peg, and the prop it with something, so that it stays straight for a whole day, and wait for the putty to cure. Also make sure before putting the statue on the peg, to lay a piece of paper between the base and the foot, so that the putty won't dry glued to the base. Also the peg itself could be oiled with like vaseline, for example, to prevent it from stucking permanently with the putty/glue.

The spikes are also relatively easy to take care of. Glue them back as neatly as You can with cyanoacrylate glue. After it cures, cut away any visible clumps of dried glue with a sharp knife. Then fill up any remaining micro-cracks, with modeling putty. It's an easy job, and there's lots of different liquid putties that are used to smooth such surfaces out. Apply a few coats, so that any mark of breakage is gone, and if You think You got an uneven, bumpy surface, simply smooth it out with some fine grade sand paper.

Finally repaint the places where the spikes cracked away, with some acrylic black paint. Any brand will do. Granted, it will probably be a bit different in shade and finish, from the factory black Sideshow used for the statue, but since it's a very small surface to paint, the difference shouldn't be too noticable.
