My plastic nuclear option is not fission but fusion and no Dremels, or any motor tools, required!
Here it is without having to go to my non-existant Patreon page:
Dips in hot water to make the neck pliable allowed the head halves to be glued together.
Large gaps appeared when the body halves were glued together. HUGE, as in gaping canyons, appeared between the head and body. Out came the SCIGRIP Weld*On #4 a metal bowl, and tiny pieces of sprue runners cut along with shavings that happened while knocking down seam lines. Yes, this is sprue-glue but the main difference is that it is ALWAYS fresh and made with the same plastic as the kit. So, small batches. Stretched sprue, from the same kit, filled gaps and then covered with the Sprue Goo (or sprue-glue, I don't know the actual name as I had been doing this for a very long time). After letting it cure about 20 hours, out came the sanding paper, sanding films, and various files, after which I brushed on SCIGRIP Weld*On #4 to even things out.
Hopefully, @Steve Ski will post a photo showing the gaps! Yes, I could have used epoxy putty, like Milliput, but I did mention that it was an opportunity for content for my non-existant Patreon page.
