Well I finished the first step of the leg armor and chains on the leg armor... and also the chain belt.

There were 30 glue points on the leg armor alone due the chains being shattered (the little black dots I put on the underside are all glue spots). The good news is I found where everything went, but the bad news is one am missing one piece as you can see in the last chain pic. The chain belt was completely fixed and that had 7 spots to glue alone.

Now I will coat the points where I glues with hard epoxy. Then I will glue the leg armor back on and be done

Will take more pics when ti is completely finished. Maybe tomorrow if I decide to do the epoxying tonight or not.

Very sorry to see, what happened to your statue!!

Have you already thought about a 3D-printed replacement for the missing/multiple broken chainlinks?

Just an idea.

Nice work! I'd never be able to pull something like that off. I'll ship you my broken stuff next time.

And, yeah, polystone or resin is much easier to work with. I got the Bioshock CE with the Big Daddy for cheap because I bought one with a broken drill tip. Super glued the tip back on and it looks like it was never broken.

Thanks!

Lol... depends what it is but I have been known to fix things from time to tome

Actually I just realized this is plastic, or PVC. I thought it was resin at first. Not surprised though, the SOTA statues always looked a bit iffy to me. This one was the least cheesy of the Darksiders line up IMO.

Done!

So to recap, it went from this:

To this:

The one missing piece:

Looks great! Can't notice the missing piece unless I know about it and look for it on purpose.

Thanks! Worked pretty hard on it

To be honest I enjoy fixing things like this... but I hate it when I cannot finish due to missing a piece. But it looks good for an almost free statue

Yeah the piece is not noticeable really. If you did not know you would have to really get close and look at it for a while to notice.

BTW, I am not sure if I asked. Did the Bioshock Concept Statue arrive undamaged?

I haven't taken it out yet, but I believe it arrived just fine!

Otherwise, great work on the repair!
