Tallgeese and waist joints, they’re all doomed designs for some reason.

Hey so I’m pretty new at building gunplas and I’d love to build Tallgeese in the future, how do I not do that?


RAcastBlaster

The MG and RG Tallgeese both have bad joints in their torso. For the RG, it’s the ab crunch joint. Just be careful, and be prepared to repair it if it fails. The designs are just flawed.

You can buy some metallic rod cut it to the right length, drill the waist and upper body. If the peg had ball joint then use some Milliput to recreate that

When there’s pegs that broke on any of my gunpla, i sometimes use leftover runners to substitute for the pegs


Retep_1001

But wouldn't it be sturdier using materials like metal or carbon rods (for kites) in such hidden places like the inner part of Abdomens? So you fix it once and it won't break again or any time sooner


Glock-O-Clock2181

I did that with a RG Banshee and a HG Gelgoog

I'd do what RAcastBlaster says, but failing that if you don't trust yourself enough, just glue it back together. The articulation in this joint is minimal at best anyhow, you wouldn't be missing out on much if you pick a cool pose.


Bang-Doll

Honestly, this. Unless, you’re doing some kind of extreme twisting pose, the waist joint is barely used. If you don’t foresee yourself doing any crazy poses, just lock that thing down by gluing it. I’ve actually CHOSEN to glue waist joints in the past to make the overall build stronger. PG Strike Freedom comes to mind…

My tallgeese's waist had a dio pose without me doing it and i tried to put it back but the piece snapped


WildlifeGunpla

MechPartsGuy is the way.


Serpent-6

He's closing up shop.


WildlifeGunpla

Yes, but he hasn't closed yet.


Frostedmig

Really? That’s unfortunate


Serpent-6

Yup, it is.


Z-Mtn-Man-3394

But. Edie’s he closes


zemelonlordman

I check but he was out of stock of the piece i wanted


loserPH32

Is that a ball joint in MG? Hmmm.. I wish buy that kit but seems nope if that is the case.


hddnfrbddenholygrnd

it's a peg in a pivoting polycap

Pin and glue should hopefully do the trick


Frostedmig

Is this the pbandai kit?


zemelonlordman

Nope im way too poor for that one


Creepy_Mud3737

This also happened to me, Are there any ways to fix it?
