EDIT: Hah! ninja'd
Glad ya found it! Welcome to the madness.

I pre ordered it a while ago, looking forward to getting it in October.

For anybody assembling their wave one stuff, what are you using for glue? Super glue or plastic glue?

The wonderfully aromatic Testors cement for plastic models in the orange tube!

Plastic cement works. KD models are made at the same company that makes Wyrd (Malifaux), DreamForge, and some others. All polystyrene.

Awesome. Going to have to buy me some Plastic Cement. Avoiding GW models means I don't have any lying around...

Super glue works just fine with ABT plastic minis as well. I'd just go with that.

I prefer Model Masters (fancy Testor's) plastic model glue that comes in an odd-shaped (square with clipped corner) black bottle with a long metal dispensing tip for controlled application.

There are some tiny pieces and connection points that you don't want to flood.

Also, plastic glue melts plastic forming a "weld" of like materials creating a stronger bond than super glue which is the bond. YMMV, but, in my mind, I'd rather glue and paint once rather than again after a super glue join fails.

The testors stuff in the needle bottle. Once had a super-glued Malifaux model explode when it had slightly too much pressure in a case (since the stuff is still only a glue) and now only use the solvent/"weld" variety. Needle applicator is necessary for joins that small.

I used plastic flu (Humbrol Poly Precision), and it worked just fine. Anything that works on GW plastics will work on KD plastics.

Yup, that's the good stuff. Plus, it melts acrylic paint the same way, so you don't have to worry about sloppy painting weakening connection points if you're painting something in sub-assemblies.

I've built plenty of kits produced by WGF (DFG, Malifaux), so I have every confidence that the casting quality will be excellent.

Normally, I build with Testors gel (in the orange tube), and have been building HIPS polystyrene with the stuff for decades. I'm pretty comfortable with it, and got pretty decent results for Robotech.

KD:M models are pretty tiny, and seem a bit less forgiving on seams. I wonder if I should switch to liquid for thinner joints.

What say you?

Testors was fine for the KD stuff. No noticeable gaps on my figures as it was.

Orange tubes for LIFE.

Normally use Loctite brand super glue.

The gel is good to work with and helps fill gaps when parts don't fit together precisely; only downside is a bit of thin white chalky residue as it dries - easily wiped clean or painted over without consequence. Have used this for all manner of materials, too, and not just miniatures.

The liquid version applies relatively thin and bonds well. Application is not as fine as I'd like sometimes, but I've learned to work with it. Still good control out the bottle.

I'm gonna have to try a fine applicator glue like the Testors stuff, probably plastic glue/cement specifically. Looks like what I need for KD.

The applicator cleaning rod-a-ma-jig that is.

You lose that, and your dip dries, you're up gak creek.

I use GWs plastic glue, it works great and has a needle applicator that doesn't need cleaning.

I just found a bottle of that in a models case I hadn't opened in 3-4 years. Still seems liquid, but I didn't try to squeeze any out. Probably still perfectly liquid due to a well stoppered applicator tube (Dried shut I mean.)

Can't find this stuff for sale in UK, thinking about picking up the Tamiya Cement that comes in a little bottle and is applied with a brush.... how does this stuff compare?

I've had both and I recommend needle over brush. Much more precise. Get GWs thin plastic glue, it's like the model master one.

Apparently (I've never had the problem so haven't tried it), very carefully running a lighter along the applicator pin thing can burn it out. I'd of course try it w/ good ventilation since, well, solvents.

I'd recommend you get Revell Contacta Pro in the UK/Europe, it is exactly fit for purpose and has a needle applicator as well. I've seen some absolutely perfectly assembled KDM models which were glued together with it and I use it for all plastic work as it is unsurpassed.

For EU users, there's also this stuff:

So EU shipping has started and Adam is apparently "working on an update right this second", which means we'll see an update in about 4 weeks

Is this the Update that he mentioned in the July Update?

God knows. It could be one of the many other updates that he promised over the years

All the reported EU delivery emails are UK based, so it looks like they may be working through country by country

The update to update the update that the real update is coming soon.

And what's really weird is that there wasn't an Update to say "We're starting to ship, and this is our shipping plan..."

For most KS, that's a momentous occasion.

Does it surprise anyone? The forum is seething with white knights, its so annoying. You point out that Adams comments on making an update are rather hollow and everyone gets pissy.

Is it just Wave 1 that the EU is receiving?

EDIT: not this forum, the KS forum.

It's wave 1 stuff that's just started popping up in shipping emails for the EU

so based on what US backers were seeing with their tracking info about a week or so for the packages to actually be picked up and start moving

then the normal week or two to actually arrive
