To be on the safe side... Since the Solbrave is transformable, I'll probably leave it in MA mode.

This happened to my Arios' leg. Thank goodness my cousin is a genius. He drilled a hole into Arios' GN Drive (crotch) where the joint broke, and used a runner to replace the joint. It's not pretty, but it's better than nothing.

I'd suggest practicing on...whatever you can. I've done it countless times and I still fuck up every now and then *points to my Robot Damashii Susanowo and Reborns Gundam)  |
That's how I screwed up my Susanowo. Because of the experience I had with Arios, I was scared shit, and applied glue to every single one of those polycap-ball/plastic-socket joints. Normal kits have 2, but Susanowo had TEN. So I was pretty much fucked - I couldn't remove the poly cap balls, and I can't even attach the legs to it without having them drop off.
