Hey everyone

I recently built my redemptor dread and have noticed that the fist arm is pretty loose and will not hold its position. This is probably down to my poor skills but I am wondering if anyone might know any good fixes for this issue?
If you need any extra info feel free to ask and I will gladly provide what I can.

Cheers

That is an option however I am afraid of putting them in a position I don't like but I will have a look at a few positions

easy to build or standard cuz they are different in the arm joint connection.
easy has a peg, standard has a peg + lugs.

that complicates things, cuz there are several ways for the connection to become loose.

it could be the lugs, it could be the peg, or it could be the hole in the body.

by best advice would be to simply use blu-tack.
add a tiny amount on the large contact surface and twist the arm into the postiion you want. best non glue solution i can think of for your problem.

You could use extra glue if the space isn't huge. You could use green stuff or milliput to help fill the gap, or you could drill it out and use a pin or a magnet to help keep it in place.
