"Battle Scarred" Figures

I'm going to go ahead and repair the damages. I had a thrasher t-rex a long time ago, but sold it off a while back with a few other choice dinos. This ones motion is a lot better, and the paint is nice, but egads... the damage. Its not that hard to repair it though. I am going to make an armature for the hand before sculpting it for added strength. It'll be nice with my others :)

I have a velociraptor with half a face too, but I think I might go a different direction with it. Possibly a cyborg raptor or something... :3

My AAoD Australovenator recently got some scarring after it fell off a shelf and and snapped a hand clean off. It was however a clean break, so provided I can find a strong superglue I can reassemble it.

Coud I see a picture of the raptor? Maybe you could sculpt the other half all scarred up?

Its a lot to post a pic, but I can easily explain the damage. Lost world standard biting velociraptor. Half of the lower jaw is broken off/missing and the tooth/tongue insert is missing. The top of the head and the spring mechanism is there, the function works, but the cam that opens the mouth is missing due to the insert being gone, so the mouth doesnt open, the head just moves all derpy and such. I might be able to sculpt a new cam to make it work again.

I was thinking of filling the jaw space with robot-y goodness, with the needed cam made as well, and then make some cybernetic looking parts for his face and body. Itll be fun :3

Brontozaurus, Use loctite plastics bonder. Its a two part set that uses a special catalyst pen and super glue to make a really strong bond for any type of plastic. It should work perfect for your figure. They should have it anywhere they sell super glue
