Just fixing it is boring

The miniature I worked so hard to make has broken.

That said, it wasn't a fatal break like shattering into pieces or warping from being left in a hot car. A strange force had been applied to the flagpole extending from the miniature, and it had snapped in the middle. I had no choice but to glue the flagpole back together for the time being, but perhaps because the contact area was so small, it didn't feel stable at all, and the flagpole would wobble around the point where it had broken. I could have just left it as is since it wouldn't be under any significant stress, but it felt somehow wrong. So, I decided to fix it properly.

The most straightforward way would probably be to apply putty around the broken area like a cast to harden it firmly, and then sand down the putty to reveal the flagpole once more. This would allow some putty to seep into the broken surface, ensuring a certain level of strength, and if done well, it could even hide the break.
However, I felt that would be boring.
These miniatures aren't the type meant only for display. They are carried around, moved across tabletops, and gradually get damaged in the process. That's the kind of thing they are. For the miniature—or at least for me—I want to believe that this flagpole breaking is part of the miniature's life. So, rather than hiding the scar, I decided to take this opportunity to add some kind of decoration.

So, first, I glued a few small pieces of cut-up runner near the broken area to create a base for the putty, applied putty to fill in the unevenness, sanded it down with a rotary tool, and then filled any remaining holes with plastic repair material. Finally, I used the rotary tool again to shape the whole thing into a block-like object.
I used the rotary tool to carve pips onto the surface of that block, painted the whole thing, and finally painted the indented pips black to finish a die attached to the flagpole.
Having said that, this die isn't a perfect cube; it's actually quite distorted. But that's fine. At least to me, this die is a symbol of having overcome the unlucky roll that caused the flagpole to break.
