Merry Christmas to myself, just got this sucker in the mail. Only ever have done a couple Bandai kits. Only now do I realize this thing needs extensive use of plastic cement (virtually none of the parts in the head unit stick together from friction alone) and painting is not an option; it's a requirement for this kit (no orange parts, they all come in white).
Plastic is also much cheaper than bandai kits, I almost broke a ball joint off a peg trying to yank it out of a socket (visible stress marks now surround the peg holding the ball).
I'm going to have to be way more careful with these parts. But is there a way to fix the stress mark to strengthen the peg again? I'm afraid that the next time I try anything with it, the peg will snap right off. Could i just shoot a heat gun at it and slowly heat it up and push down on it a bit?
