[TUTORIAL] DIY Custom peg tutorial

Ever broke a peg on 1 of your kits? Or needed 1 for your custom builds? Here are a few tips that might help you.



First, I prepare the piece where the peg will be placed. For this example, I needed to add another peg between those 2 existing pegs. So I drill a hile on the part. The hole should be the same size as the peg we will be adding.

For this example I used s 3mm rod from a gunpla runner as the peg. I add some cement on the hole and the peg piece then put them together. It is important that the hole should match the peg piece so to have a tight join.

You can see that the peg piece went through the flat piece, and that I made the flat piece a bit thicker by joining 2 runner tabs. The idea here is that the thicker the piece that the peg goes through, the more surface area it can stick to when the glue dries. This will ensure that the peg will be strong.
