Fixing Broken Gundam Model Pegs - Hobby Clubhouse | Gunpla Tutorials and Fixes

Paper clips! That’s genius! Thanks for your tutorial! What I also like to do is sand down a little or trim the ball joint peg so it has less friction in future so less likely break again.

You saved my broken Tieren! Thanks so much!

Im going tondo this i broke my early 2000s 7-11 strike freedom’s wing peg

Draw an X on the peg, and use the center as the drill point.

My Verde buster gun holder is broken

I just fixed mine with a paper clip, a glue and a fire from blow torch since I don't have a tools like that and i manage to fix it properly. But the next time i accidentally broke (hopefully not) gunpla, i use that method.

What if the peg is stuck in a joint you can open?

I used this tutorial to fix a girl's rg unicorn gundam and now we are a couple...

How to be a Dental Doctor for your Gunpla broken pegs

You think something like this will work to extend the length of some limbs with soft plastic?

Want to extend the peg of the arm joints of the MG GM sniper ii, the small peg coming down from the shoulder and see if I can extend the ones in the chest. But I don't know if it hold up the constant movement while I'm customizing the rest of the kit.

I love that Zaku III lol
I'll probably try this if I want to extend one of my Gunpla's torso

A trick is if you dont have a caliper, get a spare piece of plastic and bore one hole of each bit size unto the plastic. You can use those holes to test the closest size your dowell matches. This has the advantage of being an actual fit test. Although you might have to remake this guide every now and then as some of the holes may loosen up over time from all the testing.

MS hip replacement tutorial 👍

can i use the runners plastic instead of metal rod?

This was a helpful video

Is there any way to fix the tiny pegs? I was built a rg zaku 2 and it dropped and broke the shoulder armour peg while I was posing it.

I JUST BROKE THIS ZAKU III AT THE SAME PLACE! HAHAHA!

surgery but for plastic figures 💀

where can i buy this drill bit set

I needed this, my FA Gundam had bubbles in the abdominal peg and the knee joint

I hope this works for the entry grade strike

Fix the broken Gundam v pin

I would find this useful, however the problem i have is that my kit is a real grade and the part is monescule. Great video for a different kit though.

Can I ask? If I heat the part with like a hair dryer before I drill it will it work better?

My poor gogg will be healed

Reinforced plastic! Genius!!!

Two holes, glue and two pins.

broke a leg joint for my RG Banshee Norn same kind of joing you showed in this video, gon use this advice. Thanks in advance! The peg is a little small but it is a load bearing peg so I'm using a rather thin 0.5 mm rod to put into it. I hope the rod isn't too thin and end up being too weak to actually support any pressure from the weight...

My 3 yo son broke his Optimus Prime just this way and I was thinking of doing something similar. Thanks for the video!

How about smaller pegs? Like pegs in the armor stuck and broken to the holes I cant remove the broken pegs

First time trying gunpla and this happened to me

great video

Can this help normal sh figuarts?

Thank you for this, had the leg peg snap recently on a kit less than a week after I built it

Almost... My dog ate a Zoids tail and I had to repair it with a nail and burning a hole in the plastic. I think it ended up ok. Thanks for the advice on the tools to use!

Brilliant video! I broke both hips on my first kit, but a friendly Redditor directed me to your video. Now, I have a way to fix my model, and an excuse to buy new tools!

The shoulder to arm peg on my full armour thunderbolt exploded :( it's such a tiny peg and it needs to be wedged in so firmly. Can't find spares for runner b so may have to try this....

Damn I wished I watched this before I butchered up my hg banshee Norn 😢😢

Best peg repair I've seen. Keep it up.

cant wait to try this, im new to collecting gunpla(i collect transformers) and the first model kit i got broke so yeah i will try this soon

That’s the same exact leg on that kit for me 😂

Thanks for this, my Barbatos rex left arm joint broke off (literally like in the anime lol) cuz it was too tight.
This oughta fix it.

ugh the pain when the ball joint break the moment you trying to move it.

Unfortunately this method doesn’t work with a 1/100 IBO kit due to how the hip piece is formed.

This video saved the life of my 00 Qant's right arm. Without it, Setsuna would've been unable to wield his GN Sword 5, and would probably have been overwhelmed by my grunts.

Speaking of, it also saved my Dom Tropen's waist, be careful with your Tropens guys, the brown plastic on the waist doesn't age the best

Uh i dont know if you’re gonna see this or respond to this but im gonna ask anyway. I broke the arm peg of Iria’s Zaku (yes the RfV one), it isn’t exactly easy because uh, the base is already tiny to begin with and the only leftovers of the ‘peg’ is inside the socket, considering how the peg is quite short and the socket is pretty deep.

This just happened to my RG Unicorn! Damn joints are too tight. I feel like im breaking it just by trying to pose it

But what if i cant remove the two parts? Like the Mg tallgeese on the lower torso part, the one that sags a bit?

The nu gundam ver.ka leg peg broke while trying to pull it off because i skipped a step… ill have to fix it, drill in a small screw and super glue wouldnt be better?
