No, the epoxy is meant to dry and provide a raised surface at the tip of her foot, thus she will be leaning back a bit. The drilling on the peg hole allow room for the metal peg to move forward at an angle, thus she will be able to lean back. She is still removable. Just imagine if she is to lean back, what would the bottom of her foot look like. You would have to give the peg hole a forward angle, and the front of her foot would need to be raised a little and thus that's where the epoxy come in, to raise her front foot. This is the least damage aesthetically.
One would imagine the other method is to somehow pull her pant up, saw the top of her boot, trim some angle off of her calves, and glue her back with a metal dowel in between. Then pull her pant down. The pant will hide it all but still risky.
Thanks Mr. Green. I will contemplate your words this weekend. I made models as a kid and have never been afraid to tackle a project except with SS because of the polystone, I just don't know how it will react to a drill. Wouldn't want it to crack.
That is really unfortunate. I dont have any advice how to fix it I just empathize with you. I myself think this she hulk is amazing (I started collected after she was sold out) and a statue like her that is standing starting to lean is quite ******. I hope you can find a way to mend/repair/solve the issue bud.
Thanks, yeah I love the piece, I can comfortably say that she is the best female mixed media PF SS has ever done imo. Would hate to lose her like this and now I'm worried about other statues with more creative poses.
For now I took her off the base and she is resting. I don't want to strain the piece anymore.
