Repairing Crooked X-Wing Pegs

I've previously talked about how to replace a broken peg on your X-Wing ships.

The process I've outlined below is much simpler but it's just for situations where you purchase a ship that's misaligned out of the box. I mean, I suppose you could exchange it, maybe... but this is so much simpler.

Fixing Broken X-Wing Peg Mounts

What should you do if you need to repair broken peg mounts on X-Wing Miniatures ships?

Relax, it's not actually that horrible and the process isn't too hard. The plan is basically this:

1. Cut off the broken peg.
2. Drill a hole in the body of the ship.
3. Cut the female end from another peg.
4. Glue that end into the hole you drilled.

Easy, right? OK, the drill step could be a little tricky. If you want to avoid that, here are some other tips:

• Use the above method, but simply glue the female end to the bottom of your ship without worrying about drilling a hole for added stability.
• Roll a small cylinder of green stuff, push the male end of a peg in and let it dry. Once dry, clean up the green stuff and super glue to the bottom of your craft.
• Buy one of the kits out there that will allow you to magnetize your ships and convert.
