Hiya Ade buddy, i just use the thin CA glue...i put some (a tiny bit) in a seperate container (something like the lid off an old 35mm camera film container) and then apply iy using the tip of a tooth pic on really small parts, works fine, Have to say ive never used gator glue and dont know much about it so dont know if it does PE mate, sorry. All the best bud, regards Martin :-)

Gator glue works briliantly and was developed for PE use. Is sticks very well, but not instantly, so if you place it wronge, or drop it on the floor, you have time to adjust/remove befor the bond takes hold. An other good thing with it is it is not as brittle as CE. Being water based it is very easy to clean the excess off with a wet brush. A brush can also be used to apply it with. (try that with CE)!

I agree with the comments made earlier. big CE parts are best soldered up before glueing them in place. An other good thing to remember is to find an old tile or thickish glass to cut the CE from the trees. cutting on a soft surface WILL deform the part making it hard to fold up or get to lay flat.

Love the figures. Looks like you got a whole army on the go there!

Brilliant post Ian, i never knew about Gator Glue so thankyou, im ganna order some from John on here :-)

Also a brilliant tip about cutting the PE from the tree, ive been cutting on soft cutting mats and yes it does make life difficult (im now in the process of knocking a tile off the wall to use instead lol) Hope the Mrs dont notice lol. Never used a solder before, i will have to look into that?

Glad you like the figs mate, done some more reading for painting today!!!!! All the best, Martin :-)

Martin, I've been away for a while so I have missed a lot of progress on the G/Bs

Your idea and story line sounds great and the build is progressing nicely. The figures are looking good too.

I hope to be able to keep up with the progress of this, good luck.
