One of my zzmt's knuckle is broken. Gluing may not a good solution for this tiny area. is there any other way to fix it?

Maybe, do you have a digital camera, or even a cell phone camera? It would be easier to figue out a fix if we could see how (where, which direction, etc.) it broke.

Yeah, that's a bad spot, if it was the top it would be easier. If you still have the piece that brike off I think I'd try taking a piece os styrene (or other tough plastic) cutting it to fit inside of the knuckle with a little but stiking out, then before glueing it in place make a hole the size of the broken tab. Try get the tab to fit tightly in the hole and then superglue it in place, then when it's dry suprglue the new piece inside the knuckle. I hope that makes sense, I'm a little doped up on pain killers right now. :lol:
