Has anyone any experience of repairing an Elastolin figure? I have just damaged one that I use as a statue in an ongoing campaign and am very nervous about working on it and need to repair it reasonable quickly. Any advice on what to watch when working on it would be appreciated. x42 |

Is this one of the hard plastic German made ones by Preiser?
If so, I think a crazy glue might work. At least that is what a buddy uses on his. Or, contact Michigan Toy Soldier, they sell them. |

They're not plastic. Some mix of glue, sawdust, and clay with wire reinforcement. I think the company's name was Hausser. x42 |

Oh, one of the composition figures. Definately contact Mich. Toy. Rick, the owner is a collector. There is also a couple of articles on various composition makers on their website. Personally, I would think a thin layer of white glue would work. But, better to ask the expert. |

Thank you. There is a way of doing it on there site. Plastic wood. That would not have occurred to me. Thanks again
