About Lukerson Expertise I`m starting to get into a new MCG (miniature collectible game) called Mage Knight, and I`ll probably be able to answer questions about some gameplay and things. If not, I`d like to be able to discuss the topics and/or ask the creators for you if we can`t come to an agreement about gameplay. I`m also rather new at this, so I won`t be able to help a lot at first, but I`ll know more about it as time goes on.

Question I recently started collecting lord of the rings models and getting into games, any way i find these models are very fragile they break often what can i do to fix them?
also i am just starting to paint them do you have any tricks to painting?
thank you for your time
Answer My best advise would be to use this chemical (don't know what it's called, but ask any model/figurine hobby person and I think they would know) where you paint on a layer, and it hardens a little bit into a flexible protective layer. You should paint the figurine first, then apply the protective coat, because you otherwise get crackling of paint.
Uh... once you break a figureine, it's pretty much broken, but the best way to fix it up is to reattached any pieces that have been severed (I use some generic strong craft glue you can get at your local craft store), and then you should mask it up with some paint or something that matches the figurine's colors.
Tip for painting, I suggest fins the color that will be most dominant on the figure, and use the biggest brush to cover as much of it as you need to. Don't worry about messing up, because when it dries, then you can paint over it with something else for all the fine details. Once you get to the fine details, then you'll just have to be careful and use a small brush like the rest of us.
