Stikfas: Mechana Joint Repair (Part 2)

Just tonight, another joint...well I should say joints broke off. :bangwall:

Mech Repair 003

Seeing that this is different from the hip joint. I need to find a way to retain that point of articulation. So what do i have. Let's see....
I got pliers, some tape, wires, a hand drill (yes...no more screwing lol), and hmm...big paper clips.

After some trial and error with wires and paper clip. I came up with this:
Mech Repair 019

I have to use two pliers to clamp those two pieces of paperclip:
Mech Repair 022


Here's another pic when it's placed on the mechana:
Mech Repair 015

As you can see i have to drill a new hole to that ball to retain that socket.

And here's what i got so far:
Mech Repair 009
Mech Repair 010
[Mech Repair 012

And now with the chest armor:
Mech Repair 013

So far so good. Now time for the other side:
Mech Repair 023

Now he's all fixed again:

Let's just hope we won't see another broken joint for a long time. lol
