Thanks Markus! For this one I used For the head: superglue plus a wire pin, because my experience is that superglue on its own will not last. Then PVA glue just around the neck as reinforcement. For the sword: superglue then reinforce with PVA. Most HaT kits that feature open hand will take superglue well. But it creates a rigid bond that can be brittle, so PVA, which is flexible, is good for reinforcing the join. For the shield: Esci shields are moulded with a clip, leaving the boss open, so I clipped the hand in and fixed with PVA.
Nice conversion. Do you pin the parts together?? and what kind of glue do you use?
