How to repair broken joints


i hate it when i painted everything and joints just go snap.
basically this post will be covering how to repair broken joints/strengthen joints
what you need are these 3;(anti clockwise) drill bit,wire(any size will do,just make just it's strong and won't bend),cutter to cut wire



next,make sure the size of the drill bit matches the size of the rod

Next,cut the wire to the size you see fit.

cut towards a box like this;just in case the rod flies to infinity ^^;

next,drill into both of the broken pieces

something like this

next,we bring in the piece of rod i just cut.
forgot to mention at the start that super glue will be needed for this operation 
Glue the rod into the hole you just drilled;like this

next,put some glue into the other hole and then place the ball joint with rod into it.

Like this

And tada!you have a subject ready to go onto display :3
