The King arrived on my doorstep today.
I find it interesting that he was my first MPC experience, and now it looks like he'll be my last MPC experience (at least it seems with the current iteration of the company). I am pleased to report that this one arrived one time, and in one piece this time. I also notice that they've added to the packaging since my original King lost his head.

Did you attempt to repair the head? The artifact from Filigree in Shadow arrived in a broken condition, and I never contacted MPC about it, assuming I would just repair it. I'd appreciate any recommendations on reassembly -- it looks like a fairly clean break.

I use that stuff all the time, and it's super sturdy. Three things about it though... 1. It expands as it activates, so only use a very little amount. 2. Again, since it expands, you need to be able to hold the pieces together as it cures. Either by vice, stacking books on top of it, etc. 3. You may need to apply a little paint around the crack after it cures so the glue doesn't show at all. (It dries as white).

When using Gorilla Glue, you must dampen the surfaces first!

For pieces that are hard to clamp, a trick I've had success with is to use a tiny amount of super glue on the outer edges to hold pieces together while the slower-curing glue sets up.
