@kbdrand: Forgive my dotage but what's CA?

@tadaka: yep. you're right. I will start pinning. :damnit: I was going to go that way anyway. The arms I was having trouble with originally seem to have held - prome as above, blob of greenstuff, leave well alone for 12 hours or more. Now I need to bite the bullet and pin. Bases would be a good place to gain confidence in. :gurney: One Question: Should I use Greenstuff in the pin sites (to pad out) or not? (I suppose it wouldn't harm....) I was :blowup: but now I am :hmpf: but I may go through :banghead: before I get to :thumb: Happy :santaclau: everybody!

It's official! I stuck 20 base inserts into the bases yesterday. I primed both sides with a thin coat - left them to dry/cure and then added a second coat. Pressed the two bits together and left them overnight. This morning I did a slight stress-test on them and 14 came apart. (Including some that I got creative with and used green stuff over the slot.) They were as brittle as old bones. I really hate this stuff now and it's ruining my appreciation of the hobby. :rip:

My awl is hand powered. From Games Workshop. I may stab myself if it slips, and I amy een snap a drill-bit - but there's not much chance of it careering off the moddel and mangling my fingers... That being said, I'm still scared to do it in case I mees the model itself up.

Thanks everyone. I have tried all sorts over the years and always been frustrated. I just need more patience (and I need it NOW!) I will try the water for GS, I will also try pinnig. BUT. What I don't want is to ruin these lovely Wyrd figures. I will have to practice on something else - but I WANT to make the Wyrd ones NOW! Finally: I tried priming the areas on both parts with SuperGlue. Applying a thin layer. Letting it set for 5-10 mins. Applying a second layer. Ataching the parts. It seems to have stuck the coffin to the Street Insert I am using on the base. But time will tell. Once again - thanks everyone.

@The Madman: Gel Glue seems to be just as runny - although I'd prefer it. Pinning! I daren't - but will have to some time. I have an awl and bits just waiting to be used...

@WarmasterOJB: Don't get me started on green stuff! I make up a lump and it hardens in my hand. I try to apply a bit and it sticks to my finger ... so I use a metal modelling tool and it sticks to that! @Nathan: Is Gorilla Glu available in UK? It's where I am - and if you listen carefully you can hear me screaming! Seriously though - GStuff seems to have worked in keeping him on his coffin ... or have I spoken too soon?

It is neither Super nor Glue-y!!! For the life of me I cannot get it to work. I stick on a Death-Marshal's arm. All seems ok. Minutes later I merelt breath on it and thing falls off!!!!! Is there any way I can solder on the bits? That way when it doesn't work I can vent my anger and burn the house down....! :rip:

I'd love it - if it were properly commissioned and not regurgitated fan-fic. Good as that is, it is never as good as a proper story written by a proper author. [..... stands back and waits to be shot down in flames!]

Welcome, my friend, to the show that never ends .... we're so glad you could arrive. Come inside! Come inside!

This is just luverly. My wife saw it and although she dislikes my "hobby" she said "wow." And when I said I'd love to do something like this, she said "I can help!" Thumbs-up for getting her all gooey-eyed over my gaming pass-time. Very well done all round. :top: :nod: :clap: :rock:

Many thanks for this link. There stuff looks usefull - I have found yet another money-pit!

In the beginning I thought Molly was the red joker in the fate pack....

Welcome Jay. Sorry (from the UK) about the cricket! :laughing:

Very nice.

Fantastic stuff. And good photography too. Well done. I like very much. :+fate:+fate

@Xango: I trump you! But thanks for the kind words. Fun is the thing to have.

@Closseau: Blimey you've got a good memory! How many people did you speak/demo to at Warfare?! Anyway, thanks for the game and enthusiasm. I got the bug. Now I'm the owner of Leveticus, Victoria(s), Seamus and Lady Justice crews. Plus both books. (I blame you for the fact that I'm now out begging. "Will skirmish for money!" ) Cheers!

@poulpox: Thanks. Clapham isn't too far, but hard to get to through the traffic. Went there once, got lost, came home again after 2 hours of aimless driving in the dark! Maybe I'll try again when the weathre improves.

Bought from these. They've run out of Miss Pack figures. But the delivery was real quick!

Went on Saturday. Got hooked. Now I'm broke - but looking to paint, play and ...

Cool! I'll be sure to take a look....

:rasputina - wow! where did that graphic come from? Are there more?

@MonkeyKungFu: Thanks for the welcome! @BuckDog: Snow is about 2inches here .... I need to paint too! Just need to get some cool bases for my new stuff.... I lived in St Neots for 10 or so years and only remember snow one winter!
