From: Lego Man (Model)
The support legs to the hips, the effort did not tolerate for long time. The joints are very weak and broke.
These are two rolls of cardboard that will replace the original carriers, providing the strongest legs.
These are the two legs repaired.
In the following video, I show how new supports are developed and how they were placed in each leg and finish.
Another is .. Like New!
This model is really cool!
Thx for the pics of your mod!
What sort of paper do you use for your model, will 160g/m² or canson be ok?
In g/m², not really, but the paper I use is called “translated” paper rainbow (Papel arcoiris in spanish). But it’s like cardboard (cartulina in spanish). Sorry for not having more information.

Thx for your reply.
So i will buy some cardboard.
160 g/m² is a bit light, cardboard is more like 250g/m² or heavier.
Then i will try this pretty model.
