Any one have a tutorial or tips for how to repair broken Rohan horses. I have a bunch of really well painted ones that have all broken off at the hoof, And no, I didn't paint them. I am nowhere near the quality of these figures. So, I want to use them without them breaking everytime that they are moved. Something very sturdy without micro drilling into the horses leg, Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't know what else to suggest. I have micro pinned several of my own plastic horses no problem at all, and they have not broken since. Why do you not want to do it that way?

Plastic glue will melt each surface a little and the resultant bond should be nice and strong. It's the weak point in the design though; I pin mine if they break, its really the strongest result.

The only other thing I can recommend is using a razor blade to clean up the stump, so that you're bonding a nice flat surface to a nice flat surface.

I simply have them jumping over logs or galloping close to a bush - adds an extra support as well as that nice strong platic bond.
