tips on replacing a broken polystome statue's finger?

[ZaCHw117]

hey guys, just noticed that my GG animaquette Han Solo is missing a finger. i don't know how long it's been like this (guessing since the last time i've dusted), but i've been carpet surfing for about an hour to find his missing phalange and no luck.

if i wanted to go about repairing this myself what would i do? would something like apoxie work if i wanted to just repair it myself?

thanks in advance.

Honestly if it was me I'd give it a shot fixing it myself with some Sculpty or a similar type material. Shouldn't be that hard in such a small piece to make something that looks like the finger or pretty darn close. Then you could apply some pressure on it were it broke... would make a pretty clean imprint of where the break is. Let it cure for a day and see how well it matches up to the area where it broke. If it looks good touch it up with some acrylic paint and a dot of super glue and you should be all set. Worst case if it looks like crap, throw it all away but at least you know now on your own!

I use milliput for stuff like this... But most of the 2 part sculpt epoxies would work I'm sure.

Aves epoxy sculpt is what I use..hands down the best to work and most durable.
