When working with superglue it’s a good idea to work over a piece of waxed paper as the superglue won’t stick to it very much if at all. Also if you want to build thing square Lego is your friend, just build a square as big or small as you need. It’s also great for building jigs and the like.
Really good tip about the Lego. Have used Lego jigs in the past to make sure stuff is square!
Yeah it’s pretty much mandatory in my scenery builds these days. A layer of clear tape keeps the glue off them too.

@herrigold “Toothpicks” – I don’t follow?
looks great guys.
@zorg – thanks, was very pleased with how it turned out and think we can use it in lots of games.

I could watch other video`s from here just not this one, until today that is. Very enjoyable second part, now just need the time to have a go at doing one. What with “Lloyd” and his “Tight Hole`s and Dangley bit`s for Pulling”, and John with the “Heaviest Weight” he could find a book on “Tank`s”……..nice one John. Well worth… Read more »
