    Default Dragon Repaired?

    So does anyone know where I can get one of those Franklin Mint Michael Whelan Dragons repaired? I honestly thing I could get one second hand cheaper.

    I'm in the US so I can't get to Melbourne's Doll Hospital.

    Oh and while I enjoy having the art in my home, it is turning into a mini battle field, with this repair business. I don't want to waste the resources, but the gift giver sees otherwise.

    I swear every packer should have 2 family members supervising each one.

    This is what I have:

    Before the move, mine was mint. Now the head has broke off. Material appears to be that same stuff the Franklin Mint uses on its dolls, and epoxy will not hold it.
    I've come a long way since I believed in anything, and I've come half way around the world.

    Where you come from is gone.
    Where you thought you were going to was never there,
    and where you are, ain't no good unless you can get away from it.

    I would using a pin vise drill a 1/8 hole into the back of the head and the neck. nip of a pice of brass rod just over 1/ 8th long and 1/8th diameter. Test fit before using any bonding agent. See theat the head and neck will seamlessly join with the brass rod inserted. Using a clear epoxy I would bond the pieces together. The brass rod giving more support.
