Hey guys. So my friend collects side show life size figures. He's had his fett for a long time, he had his Han in carbon delivered Thursday and while he was setting it up had a accident, and broke Fetts hand off.
He glued and epoxied the wrist to the hand, but now we need to come up with a plan to mount the hand back to the arm...
The gauntlet is not removable, if it were my plan was to fiberglass it back together
But now our new plan is to drill a hole down the arm and epoxy a threaded rod in it
Then fill the hand (which is hollow see pics below) with resin, before it cures insert the arm with the rod and let the resin harden, capturing the rod inside the hand?
I wanted to ask here if resin is a good idea, I don't want to pour resin in there and it have a chemical reaction (with what ever fett is
Made out of) and damage the hand, or expand and shatter it
Below are some pictures, we are a little lost and appreciate any advice
He put a email into side show asking what the figure is made out of so we have an idea of our options. But we haven't heard back yet.. another thing he said was his fett is from the first generation so even if they do have extra parts for sale he doubts the new parts would fit since the stance is different..
Thank you all for your time
