Why

When I took my newly made alien egg to the cinema to rewatch Aliens, the manager of Cineworld at the White Rose Centre recognised me from the McD fame in March. He asked if I’d consider repairing Spider-Man’s fingers, as people had broken their statue in the foyer.

When

November 2025

Where

Cineworld, White Rose Centre, Beeston, Leeds

Materials / Media

Milliput epoxy putty, wooden dowel, paint.

Production

The first problem was having a way of securing the completely broken finger. I had to drill into both ends of the resin with no way of being sire the alignment was right, so I made the hole bigger than it needed to be.

Execution

When I returned the following day with the arm, I just walked up to the statue and put the repaired arm onto the statue. But the staff were different and had no idea what I was doing.

Notes

Of course, it won’t withstand people yanking it, and the colour match isn’t perfect, but at least Spidey can cast his webs again. I wasn’t paid, but that’s okay. I did get an Imax upgrade and also three vouchers for snacks.

Duration & Fate

At the time of writing, too soon to say.
