FW says it all. Sometimes, well most of the time, those molds and bits just don't line up. It is like they do that on purpose.<br /><br />Good call with the pinning. I often do the same with jamming the nozzle in the joint and squeezing a ton of glue to fill the space. Then remove excess to avoid clogging surrounding detail.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-62943617072637016102015-05-26T08:36:45.593-05:002015-05-26T08:36:45.593-05:00I do not trust the joins of the ork FW dreads...so...I do not trust the joins of the ork FW dreads...so I pin them, glue them, then jam that bottle in there and SQUEEEEEEZE until the entire area is just super saturated with super glue. :)greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-19045291341603973072015-05-26T08:32:58.340-05:002015-05-26T08:32:58.340-05:00An entire bottle of loctite for the meka dread?

Would love to see the superglue on that dread.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words on Orikan. Painted him a couple of years ago. Just getting around to rebasing him.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-20468822251036524572015-05-26T08:24:15.519-05:002015-05-26T08:24:15.519-05:00The loctite glue is my favorite glue by far.

It just works so well on everything.<br /><br />I mainly swapped to plastic glue because it can help hide joints because it melds the plastic together. I haven't really experienced that effect, but kinda of got used to using it now...<br /><br />The meka dread I just built has an entire bottle of the loctite in it...greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-57639849829291804732015-05-26T08:14:56.338-05:002015-05-26T08:14:56.338-05:00I do love plastic glue, thick GW version, for plas...I do love plastic glue, thick GW version, for plastic models. Gives you a lot of time to move bits around and then holds tight while working and strong bond because of the melting and mixing of the bits. Forgot about the melting of details when the glue lands elsewhere. Remember experiencing that when I was assembling my Dark Angels/Adeptus Mechanicus army.<br /><br />Do love my superglue because you can separate pieces easily. Think I might stick with my loctite thick gel superglue.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-55646893118306735912015-05-26T08:02:33.056-05:002015-05-26T08:02:33.056-05:00Super glue for resin, finecast, and metal.

(love taimya thin)<br />http://tibbsforge.com/tamiya-cement/<br /><br />One thing you have to keep in mind (when you do switch to plastic glue). Plastic glue works by MELTING the plastic. You will not be able to undo with joins without damaging or destroying the model. It won't pop off like super glue. Also gotta be careful where the plastic glue ends up, as it will damage the plastic if you drip some on the model and let it sit.<br /><br />Orikan is looking awesome. greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.com
