In this instance , little tiny screws salvaged from a broken camera .
You will need : A Dremel Moto Tool with an engraving bit ( to start a pilot hole in the broken wrist pins that are still stuck in the Otaku hand and wrist )
A Pin-Vise so that you can drill into the plastic of the broken wrist pin pieces with greater control and precision .
A really teeny tiny screw that has enough length to firmly anchor into both pieces of the broken wrist pin . ( Don't THROW OUT those broken techno devices
!!!! Scavenge Them !!! )
Once your holes are drilled , screw the replacement screw/pin into the wrist ball ( adding cement of some sort probably wouldn't hurt )
Cut off the head of the screw with metal snips/cutters .
Twist the hand onto the end of the replacement screw/pin ( adding cement probably won't hurt here either . )
Cement is applied with a toothpick to the inside of the hole of the wrist ball , and the screw is twisted into the ball .
Cement is again applied into the post inside the hand , and the hand twisted into place . Now all she needs to do is cure .
There is just a smidgen of gap between the two broken pieces , and barely any difference at all between the repaired joint and the unbroken wrist .
The hand is bent in these shots as I tried to get a shot of the finished repair inside the arm . I obviously need a micro camera .
It pays to be loopy .
