Predator diorama

Not really sure where to put this, so it might have to be moved to better suit the topic.
I picked up this busted Predator
Polystone Diorama off facebook recently.
So I thought you'd like to see the process of repairing it.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Pretty cool. Maybe also explain what you used and the process?

The brass pin in bedded in the leg was bent and no matter how hard I tried it wont come out.
Straightening it out wouldn't work so I had to cut it.

Here's the latest picture.
I couldn't get the brass pin out so once I pieced the leg back together I drilled up along side the original pin up through the bottom of the foot.

Wow 2,400 odd views and only 5 replies, well that went down well.
Probably because it's not a Marvel character I reckon.
