The Christmas season that my youngest was 8, he became fascinated with the villages you see in so many stores, so we started one.

Last year our cat took on the role of Godzilla, and a few of the little people/accessories were broken. The pieces are made of a hard resin. We tried repairing them with superglue and gorilla glue, but neither of these products held.

Any suggestions on what we can use to repair these pieces? The village goes up on Friday!

Cash. Go buy new ones. Help China's economy.

Oh, believe me, that happens every year.

But some of these pieces are 10 years old, so no longer available off the shelf, and I have so far been unsuccessful finding them on Ebay.

I'd really like to repair them if anyone has a helpful suggestion.

Something like bondo would probably do the trick. Some type of putty that can be painted.
