So I need some advice on repairing "scope" from the 3rd edition last chancers.
He has the old style IG sniper rifle with a what looks like a silencer at the end of the rifle.
I accidentally twisted the silencer end piece off by accident the other day while I was cleaning the mini.

Does anyone have a good way of gluing this tiny piece back on? It was a clean break, so not much filing work to be had.

I was thinking that I could just file the end to look like a normal rifle barrel and then use the broken off piece as a scenery piece. Kind of like the miniature took the silencer off.


Let me know what you think.

Superglue will work fine on it's own for gluing the pieces back together. If you want to go the whole hog though the best way to repair it will be to pin it with a piece of paper clip and then use superglue to hold it fast. But you might find however that the barrel is to narrow to drill out.

The paper clip route id the best unless you want to drill out the entire barrel and replace it with a brass rod.
