Try and take a heat gun to the upper leg and crotch area and slowly work the leg towards the peg hole, not sure how these 3d prints would respond to heat though, always works on my garage kits.

Thanks for the tip Warhead.
The parts are hollow inside. I printed with a wall thickness of 2 mm. If I heat it up and try to bend it I'm afraid I'll get a kink/dent in the thigh.

I expected it to be a very difficult job.

But I always try to look on the bright side. This study will also make significant contributions to your mastery level and will be of great help to you in future projects.

I wish I could help. However, as a recommendation, I wondered if it would be beneficial to create a new layer on the base and foot parts with polymer clay? A layer that can connect it there and strengthen it. As if it were a piece of statue.

Gotta love when a project goes sideways, well the good news is based on your previous work she will turn out great and you can look back on this and give yourself a pat on the back for all the problem solving

Now she is standing.
I drilled a second peg hole. Since the base is hollow, I will end up gluing Sonja firmly to the base.
I don't particularly like this work. I would prefer if all the parts fit and I could start painting right away.



My next projects are currently in print.

All statues are from "CA 3D STUDIOS"

X-23 in 1/4 scale. But not with this base in the photo. I just chose a simple disc as a base.
This is my first X-23.


Princess Mononoke in 1/6 - i love this movie.



Butterfly in 1/4. Wings clear resin

Red Sonja update.



I still have a skull from another project that I integrated into the base.
I would also like to apply "Tamiya snow effect" so that the snow looks real
