Hi guys,
I recently bought the sideshow Sixth scale Jawas which are great. When opening the package I attempted to slide the Blaster Rifle from the taller Jawa's holster (with great care due to its small size). It was very tight in there and the end of the blaster rifle literally came away from the rest of the rifle when drawing it out (at it's narrowest point). I was pretty devastated to say the least!
From googling it seems this is a common issue that its very tight, and from the breakage it also shows a lighter and darker area so possibly a weakness in manufacturing. I approached Sideshow support about whether I could get a replacement part, but sadly they didn't want to know as I hadn't purchased it directly from their website
So i guess I have to try and glue it... a very small part indeed. They suggested Zip-A-Gap, however i'm a little worried the longevity and how well superglue it will hold such a small area together (see pics attached) and for how long. Apparently its plastic though unsure what type.
Any suggestions please on what is best to use for fixing this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
James
