Gorsk Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 How do you dry fit multiple parts together? Do you use something like blue tack? I could easily check the fit on two parts, but not three or four. I really suffered through the bayou gremlins, especially the squatting gremlin where you have to align the hat, two arms and rifle.

Bengt Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I occasionally use blutack, but try to do without since it leaves an oily residue. Mostly I just try hold all the pieces while dropping them and swearing a lot. Occasionally masking tape helps. You can also get a "third hand" (google for pictures), you'll need to put rubber tubing or something on the crocodile clips though or they'll leave marks in the plastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpact Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 My hard-learned method is to give the glue about ten-fifteen seconds to dry a touch and set a bit, then put the piece on. Firm enough to hold, but not set too firmly to adjust the fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydroMog Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 actually you can find micro clamps at various hardware stores that work wonders when you need to dry fit/glue multiple pieces at a time. im not sure how they would work with wyrd's model line but it works for all my other modeling needs.
