How to fix loose joints | Tutorial Tuesday

[@glenblessing1536]

So helpful!!! I'm somewhat of a beginner builder ( getting back into building Gundam) and I've been plagued with loose joints.

[@JuanGarcia-zi5ql]

Heck yea, this what I needed. *looks at Nu Gundam* Tip #3 Glue a Bamboo stick on the wing for stability

[@Kyodie-bz1sf]

Or a better idea. Just get the real grade

[@zaduckhulu2529]

Toothpicks work too

[@kreutz-e6h]

To people who don’t have access to glue/to worried to try this, another thing i found that works is taking a small piece of paper and putting it where the joint attaches, tightening it a bit,

[@bryceyoungwolfe5016]

Staring building a RG Impulse Gundam and had a loose peg in the fore arm swivel. When I was looking up how to fix it and saw your video I knew which video to watch. I absolutely love your content.

[@rejectedmind-1173]

I used this same method on pretty much every joint on my MG Exia. Neck, arms, waist, legs, and ankles because I really wanted the kit, but heard the massive issues with the ankles and such. I used clear nail polish though and so far, very solid. Every ball joint and peg is somewhat thicker and I'm very pleased. Apart from the smell.

[@josephdonnluna4483]

Thanks for the idea... my Astaroth Rinascimento went well after tightening up some joints on the arms... The Demo Knife/Bastard Chopper combo can hold on its own easily..

[@mai_mai10]

Great tip! I use clear nail polish to tighten the loose joints on my kits. Worked on my RG 00 Raiser and RG Strike Freedom.

[@raihanaji7516]

Thats great. Can you tell me on how to do it please? I would gladly appreciate it

[@Skydmciscool]

@@raihanaji7516 I got some cheap polish and it just wears down when I move joints so I got some super glue

[@Greyhoundsniper]

Btw for those concerned about the white marks most super glued give, use loctite or in general gel super glue, no whitening and isnt a hastle to clean off your hands

[@TheToastermech]

Hello, I really like your modeling and customization. I wish I had remembered this last video but you were asking about weathering and I saw a video by PLASMO - plastic models with a GM sniper II and it covers weathering that I believe you might want to see. Please keep up the amazing work!

[@SolaireFlair]

I don't know why but I'm always very paranoid about permanent modifications to kits, so what I've always done, and it's probably a weird solution, I wrap a little bit of tissue paper or toilet paper around the ball joint or peg. If you do a small enough piece, it can totally hide inside the joint, and it's a completely reversible modification if you ever need to for some reason.

This is perfect for my sinanju...this is what i waiting for! Thankyou!

[@Matthew-ny4mf]

I bet its a RG sinanju

[@ben-benrada463]

@@Matthew-ny4mf yeah its rg sinanju

[@reneken574]

Wait, but the loose part most of them aren't joints. You really sure to glue them all?

[@ben-benrada463]

@@reneken574 no, just only the head part and the wrist part of it. Cause its keep moving while im bending the arms of it

[@Matthew-ny4mf]

@@ben-benrada463 how bout the waist? Mine cannot hold the backpack so its look like people with backache

Studio G: this video is sponsored by newtype, they are one of the largest hobby stores where you can get your kits, tools, and “everything” you need. Me: can i get one cheese burger without cheese

[@dhimasdhafa7220]

I usually used clear nail poolish to fix loose joint, and it 100% works. Just try it , be yourself n never surrender!

[@M.r..R.i.c.e.]

Have they ever gotten loose again

[@Vezon1121]

The arm for my HG Barbatos keeps falling off because of a loose poly cap. This was very informative thank you!

[@matttumberman2191]

I've had my doubts, but it actually worked. Thank you bru

[@KelgaCreations]

Short and sweet!

[@monochrome2363]

hey when you’re back in malaysia, be sure to go to mr diy. they have the type of super glue with a brush applicator. no wood sticks needed!🤞🏻

[@raizone3532]

aimanfaiz here in philippine we have MR DIY store too

[@felixrivera3375]

Great Tutorial!! 👌👌

[@branchygiraffe]

Video was a life saver my mg kyrios shoulders got loose quick

[@Freelancer604]

LOL the first few seconds I was like.. seriously.. he wants me to super glue the joints? But yeah this is a super smart and obvious fix in hindsight

[@MonroesArtStudio]

This helps me. I have a kit and the arm pegs are hella loose and the arms keep falling off if there's any slight movement or vibration. Will give it a shot

[@johnbobtailsquib3290]

This video help a lot i was having join issue with my Zaku 2 Char Costume as the hand and risk were very loose and would often fall by the weight of weapon they hold.

[@atlusc]

Spot on! I wanted to tighten my wing zero with super glue, but I didn't know how. I'm glad I didn't do it on my own because I was definitely going to mess it up

[@LxA543]

this is sooooo helpful i can finally fix my exia's loose joints

[@heyitsrally5178]

i tried clear nail polish, but i think this is better, thanks

[@eggsanko4491]

This is good for kits like the seltsam or any kitbash gunpla projects! Thanks!

[@diegomateo023]

Useful tutorial! I'll use this guide for when my Kits are loose. Thanks for this amazing tutorial G 👍✌️

[@kirkcabatbat9038]

Clear color nail polish also works.

[@nick391nm]

I should give this a go on my RG Destiny Gundam since there are certain parts that won't stay on and that's including loose joints too.

[@diver3604]

Even super glue can’t fix early real grades…

[@nick391nm]

I heard that if you paint the ball joints with a gray or black it with have a better grip and no longer have the issue of loose joints.

[@diver3604]

@@nick391nm I usually just top coat all of the loose joints with 1 or 2 layers.

[@nick391nm]

I'll have to try that out.

[@vincentalpiepedrozo2337]

Hello Studio G. After I watched this video, I tried to follow this method to fix the loose joint on my freedom 2.0 mg. I applied a thin coat of super glue on one of the small pegs in the upper right arm. After the super glue dries, I tried to build the arm but the peg that I put super glue on got snap / broke.

[@Nezpla]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jerylcadiz9942]

This is very helpful! Thank you, Justin!

[@matthewbrookeart]

I have an old 1994 144 scale gundam maxter from back when I was a teen, it’s arms are mega loose so I’ll have to give this a try. Wanna give it a bit of a revamp

Perfect video, for the love of customization 🤙🏽

[@toddcrim7012]

[@dvevilgameranwesh4254]

[@jacksoncamania6064]

Thank you. Highly appreciated.😊

[@jasonperry9312]

Thanks for the video. I am new to Gunpla. So far I only have hg kits of gundam wing. I will try this on my hg nataku it's arms are heavy when the Claw arms are extended outwards so they just drop down.

[@kingofmonsterisland4968]

Does it mess up Polly caps or no because I have a mg gouf custom with a loose arm the ball joint is loose

[@TheCode-X]

thanks, i'm building an Earthree gundam, and the saber holder on the backpack became so loose that falls apart, so this is a great idea

[@kenjin8647]

Any advice on how to tighten parts that are like hooks? I am currently working on HG Calibarn and i was hoping to tighten the broom part of the weapon

[@sariyana6424]

Thank you Studio G. It really helps for my SD gundam called Sun Ce Astray Gundam from Samgoku Soketsuden. Thank you very² much.😘

[@ikhmalhardy1453]

Which is more effective super glue or tamiya cement?

[@kijyazero]

This method can apply to metal part? Because i bought metal part J4 for freedom. But it loose when i plug in..

[@Ball-destroyers]

Wouldn’t applying like a gloss clear coat be better?

[@aaronou4565]

how to clean the gunpla, dust on it, oil or duirt on it. The white part turn yellow, if you rub it some dirut or yellow thing will come out. How do you clean them

[@roonis418]

I hope we can see you build the mg full armor gundam thunderbolt ver ka

[@cancersticks2048]

U think Tamiya extra think cement will work the same I got that and I’m thinking yes just wanted asking to see if anyone else has used it

[@gonzaloamadorottier2065]

did you use a air prush to paint that model kit? Could i get the same results with regular brushes?

[@binhyennguyenkhoa2923]

Can I use the tamiya extra thin cement instead of super glue ?

[@anthonyteneyck76]

My gundam's knee joint is on a slider but when I bend it too far the slider pops out but on the other leg it doesn't please help me

[@LoneWolf-ys9ut]

does the superglue eat away the plastic? because i use this method and it worked but from time to time the joint become much more looser than before. need help

[@Kyodie-bz1sf]

This is useful, but I actually have the opposite problem. Can you please do a tutorial on how to fix tight joints? My Unicorns shoulder joint is so stiff I'm afraid to bend it because so think it'll break.

[@taimaishu81]

You can just sand the ball joint or peg a bit

[@ngzijin4215]

Thank you for the tips bro! But I've got a question, does it work with tamiya plastic cement? I'm pretty sure it does right?

[@Mikebtheawsome]

personally I use clear nail polish but it still does pretty well the same thing

[@zintMY]

Hey Justin, just wondering does cements like Mr Hobby Mr Cement would work like the super glue in tightening loose joints as well?

[@bhoylhogro5093]

if it's the non-thin cement, you can brush it on, wait for a day to cure, then yes it can tighten joints, but the wait time is too long and a single coat may not be thick enough so you may need to do multiple thin coats of cement and wait for each layer to cure, so it's more efficient to use super glue.

[@joshuathenyk]

no man, u do not want to use Cement like Mr.Hobby and/or Tamiya Cements regardless of which version they sell to tighten joints because they work by slightly melting the plastic to bond/merge two separate parts together...those are for merging seamline or PS plastic. Just follow Justin's Instruction and use any good super glue on tightening joint and don't use plastic cement on joints.

[@ryantimbol9758]

Anyway to tighten the pre mold rg frame?

[@darkclaw7009]

Ooooo i need this 😮

[@iantrickey9039]

Hi there, I wanted to ask if this was an issue on the MG Sniper you did in red, white, black/grey? Mine has a hard time keeping the legs inside of the hole for the waist section. Just pops out when I pose instantly. Have a similar in the Hg version but the waist on that one does not stay connected to the piece between the legs. Thank you

[@awakeningomerta]

Weathering tutorials next please

[@poohfuu4437]

What if the articulation get stuck because of the glue? How did you get rid the glue?

[@miragebangbravern]

You should leave the glue to dry before then so it wouldn't interfere with the articulation

[@fingerstylesabahan8517]

Is there a tutorial where u can fix Barbatos iron blooded foot joint loose??

Gunze Mr Dissolved Putty would do the trick even better.
