Best plastic glue is far and away Tamiya extra thin plastic cement. the brush applicator and high fluidity means you can dry fit and then just brush onto the seam and it bonds perfectly. the brush applicator also means you can melt off flash and smooth out gouges or damage

@ginopain3824 3 жыл бұрын

For glue, I would recommend the Tamiya model glue. You apply it using a small brush, which allows for really precise application, and the glue is super thin, so it runs into the cracks you may have missed or couldn’t get to. I originally started dong model tanks, and when I started getting into war hammer I kept using the glue and kept getting better results and having an easier time than when I used the citadel glue.

@ClonesDream 3 жыл бұрын

Second this. Ultrathin glue for plastics from Tamiya, Mr Hobby or AMMO is really good for anything plastic related, not just tanks and planes!

@simonm8221 3 жыл бұрын

I am a beginner as well, and wanting to try out the suggestion of Brent from Goober i tried the Tamiya model glue too. Totally worthy purchase, the little brush makes it so easy and pleasant to apply the glue. A bit extra care should be used since the brush doesn't allow the same degree of control of the citadel long thin output, but i find out that i prefer having the glue laid in layers rather than in drops.

I mostly make model planes and I use two types of cement: tamiya extra thin cement and revell contacta professional. The tamiya has a brush and it’s great for attaching small parts as well as connecting long seams. The other thing it’s great for is melting a surface after sanding so the scratches etc soften or disappear after fettling. The revell glue has a needle applicator and is great for initial bonding of major assemblies as it is fairly precise, but also very strong.

Fir gap filling, I'd recommend Vallejo Plastic Putty. It's pretty much the same process as you have now, except it already comes as putty, so you don't need to mess around with iso or anything. You can also easily file it after it's hardened, works great.

I was happy to see we handle our bases much the same. I build every single base for an army separate form the mini initially. Where we differ is that I will fully prime and paint the base completely separate from the model, and only glue them together after they are each painted. My mini's get stuck to the tops of Rx bottle via double sided tape similar to Miniac.

@rakninja 2 жыл бұрын

a trick i learned building gunpla: dont snip the sprue close to the model, leave a few milimeters. trim with a hobby knife and sand first with 600 grit to even the surface, and 1000 grit to polish. you almost never get stress marks this way, though it is a bit more time consuming. not sure just how applicable it is to WH models due to differing materials, but it should work for just about any plastic.

This is pretty much it! I follow the same procedure, and I even enjoy it almost more than painting. For glue its Revell plastic glue for me (also because of the needle applicator. Tipp: burn it out with a lighter if it clogs..), and gap filling with milliput or vallejo's plastic putty. Maybe the only thing I do differently is check for sub assemblies if possible. Makes painting so much easier. But for the easy fit models from the starter sets its almost impossible... Thanks for sharing. Great tips for everyone!
