				<title>Working on re-posing 3 Riptides?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I have three Riptides, but I made them when I was newer to modeling and now they all look very static to me. They're all in the same basic pose. What can I do? I'm nervous to pull anything apart because it's such an expensive, high-quality model. I'd like to magnetize their weaponry and also pose them more dynamically. If necessary, I'll post images.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ If you made riptides when you were newer to modeling, you're still new to modeling. <br /> <br /> Anyway, don't pull apart things that were plastic glued.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ When you pull apart a joint glued with plastic cement, the parts will break at the weakest point, which won't necessarily be obvious or the border between the original parts.<br /> <br /> As Krucho said, it's better to deliberately cut or saw the pices apart. That way there are no nasty surprises. <br /> <br /> Then you will have to rework the parts so they fit together again in the pose you want. To do the same for a wraithknight, I've used beheaded, 2mm diameter nails as pins.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ You need a jeweller's saw, a pin vice with a 1mm bit, a steady hand and some patience. You will be able to drill a hole to thread the saw blade through, and do cuts that avoid the edge.<br /> <br /> For reattaching the pieces, I would be tempted to use plastic rod as the "pin" because it is so easy to cement with liquid plastic weld. Metal is stronger though you need to epoxy resin to hold it. The best choice will depend on the weight and structural importance of the parts to be joined.<br /> <br /> Modelling putty -- not Green Stuff but the stuff a bit like toothpaste that Tamiya and Squadron sell -- is great for covering gaps and holes. A light grade fingernail art stick is useful for sanding down the rough seams.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Reposing a built model means you have to essentially break the model and rebuild it.  you can get solvent for superglue as mentioned,  and if you used <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> glue putting the model in 99% rubbing alcohol will dissolve the glue. If you used anything else you will want  to use a hobby saw / razor saw and sharp hobby knife to cut it apart.<br /> <br /> Its also a good idea to have some platicard and green stuff on hand to replicate details that you had to mangle when chopping it up.  I did this with 2 wraith lords i got used for very cheap. There may be compromises in the pose based on what you can cut or replicate.  I would be less inclined to do it with brand new riptides.]]></description>
