      Hello Polux,

      You can use a cyanoacrylate or epoxy based glue, the epoxy based glue is only needed if the parts is very large and heavy.
      (Your figure is white metal. White metal is a tin/led alloy with various other elements.)

      I have the huge TSR Red Dragon metal figure from the 1990s and when I built it I used Plastic Padding chemical metal to fix the large and heavy parts like the wings.

      I can't believe there are no images of this on the 'net! The best thing is this picture which was the inspiration for the model. When I get home I'll take a photo of my dragon...

      The Red Dragon painting was used in numerous AD&D works during the 90s

      Hi to all!!
      Now is the moment...

      I cannot stop remembering and thinking about histories of medieval fantasy, knights, elfs, thieves with hood and dungeons...
      So my near diorama will be a small recreation with these miniatures in metal, since I found some without doing where there was an archer and Bilbo!!

      This way so I will do a scene where "Bard I" shoots the arrow that gives death to the life of the Dragoon in the City of the Lake... I will Try to apply everything learned with you all to paint these figures in so limited scale and to create a small temple or exterior room (it's an idea). I'm not an expert in " The Lord of the Rings ", but great enjoyment playing with his board games with my friends. I wait to do something nicely and with a "romantic" touch.
      At the same time, will paint a viking on horseback (Andrea Miniatures) on scale 1/32, precious figure!!!

      Here you have a bit of the history that will give life to the diorama.

      Best regards
      Polux

      The Bard of Esgaroth


      Though a descendent of Girion, lord of Dale, it was as a mere captain of archers the Bard and his men fought in battle against Smaug the worm. He stood his ground amongst the inferno of wooden buildings and losed his arows, to no avail, until a thrush alighted beside him and told him of the weak spot in the dragon's armour. Hearing this, Bard let fly his very last arrow which found its mark and brought the great worm crashing to his death in the Long Lake. Bard later refounded the town of Dale, becoming its first king.

      That does look a nice figure to paint, i'm sure you'll do it justice.
      If you're thinking of putting it into a diorama then even better !!!!
