EmpiresBurn Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 So I had a bit of an issue today while making some improvements, I cracked a small piece on the back of one leg. What does everyone suggest to fix it? I tried posting pics but it keeps saying they are to big. https://photos.app.goo.gl/S7yaQK8a4nayKavP9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 What material is the armor made from? Fiberglass? 3D print? ABS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this one, all you need to do is right click on the image, select "Copy Image Address" and the paste into the post. I have done this for you.

Don't get too carried away with the repair though. Remember the Shoretrooper should look pretty weathered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOtrooper Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Since it already cracked, it might be a high stress point. I'd glue some nylon webbing on the backside to strengthen that area and stop the crack from expanding. Might want to do it with the other leg armor too. Keep the crack showing. It'll add to the weathering and prevent more work trying to blend in bondo/weathering with the rest of the armor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will add to it for sure I just want to make sure it doesn't grow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
