What model do you hate making because it fall apart all the time, you need about 4 hands to hold it together, its too small and fiddily or some other reason ?
Mine would probley be the hive tyrant which (without pinning) kept falling apart. Thats his tail, arms, head and even his leg.
Other models are the:
Necron Wraith- cause its body kept snapping in half.
Drop pod- cause there were to many parts inside it.
Hive gaurd- both arms on both models had to be brocken out of plase so thay would fit.

Trying to put the model HBs on a valkyrie is insanely hard. You have to line up the ramp at the back, the 2 HB locators , the 2 outer walls and the roof at the same time. I needed to get my dad to help me. Hes a legend
Also land raiders, I had the old metal land raider crusader kit (metal hurricane bolters) and it was so hard. The door mechanism at the front is impossible to get to work, and the bolters just wouldnt fething stick. FETH!
failing that anything metal, i wouldnt give a flying fart if they removed every metal model and replaced them with plastic, actually id love it.

Tau Shield Drones. There is no good way to make those goddamn metal antenna stick unless you sit there for five minutes holding them in place.
Only to realize, naturally, they've drifted about five millimeters to the left, and they look DERP. At this point, the epoxy's set. That was a fun fix.
Goddamn shield drones.
Also, Telion was a massive pain in the ass, but mostly because I don't play Ultramarines, so it took me a while to file off all the UM insignia. Also, his arms wouldn't fit right, so I had to file those down as well. Never had to do so much filing on a metal model before I assembled him.

Multiple different kinds of super glue, with kicker when I felt like it needed to go together faster. (Don't you dare say paint it red.) The one that has worked is something called control-gel of the Loctite brand superglue. I don't know why it works better than everything else (so far), but it does.

Well there's your problem right there, you're gluing metal models with superglue.
Granted it'll get them together (superglue is one of the few glues that will "bond" to metal), but expect them to fall apart within the month.
Do yourself a favor, go to your local craft/hobby store, and get a tube of two-part gel epoxy. It takes longer to set than super glue (so you'll need to pin it, set it up against something or hold it together manually for about five minutes) but that's the strongest bond you'll ever find, and now that it comes in gel form, it's no longer a huge mess to mix and apply. It will just about never fall apart, and the bond will be much stronger than superglue.

the old Master of the Ravenwing model sat in a box, half assembled, for probably 7 years. I took him out this month and finished him, and you know what i found? ANOTHER land speeder that I had bought, presumably out of sheer madness.
the top and bottom parts never mate properly, even with krazy glue (which granted has saved me a lot of trouble that some of you seem to have run into), and you have to apply about 15 lbs of pressure for a good minute or two to make the seam hold or else it will pop up when you glue down the other side.
in conclusion: f*ck landspeeders. anyone want to buy a landspeeder and master of the ravenwing? ; P

Any large metal model is going to be an enormous pain in the ass. They're heavy, they don't hold together well (even with lumps of epoxy, I've always had to use GS on the joints) and nothing fits together properly without a crapton of filing.
I put together the old metal Daemon Prince the other day for a buddy, and I'm suddenly very glad my own DP is going to be from the new plastic kit.

You don't need to glue the roof on to get the HB doorguns attached. I assembled the gun swing arms as one set, then the top anchors to the inner walls as the next.
ONLY AFTER the glue was dry did I have a go at putting the guns into the mounts and attach the side walls to the floor.
The swing arms do benefit from pinning to the spindles though (as the weight of the heavy bolters can snap them off quite easily).
Once you learn how to hold your hands in a certain way, so that all of your digits are being used, it gets easier.

It took me an hour to get that thing to open up and go all the way around the lip, amazed I didn't lose any hair trying to get that thing in. Supposedly its fixed in the new kit but I have yet to purchase one.

I use loctite control gel, and have no problem with permanent strong bonds. My metal models hardly "fall apart within a month". My Shokk Attack Gun had the bosspole bit break off - but the metal failed, above the join. The only thing I dislike about the loctite gel (besides the fairly high price to volume ratio) is the containers they come in - they tend to clog fairly easily, and they appear to be empty when they actually have lots of glue (50%) still in them. Pull out the bottom plastic plug with pliers and see! You can remove the whole bottom plastic assembly if you have one that appears "empty", and use the rest that way.
I agree that using 2 part epoxy is definitely a must have for any very large metal model, but for the smaller ones (terminator size and smaller) it doesn't seem worth the hassle. Automatically Appended Next Post: But on-topic again - my most difficult model was probably the Thunderfire Cannon. I finally gave in and used the dremel tool to grind down the collet, and even then it took about 20 minutes of grinding at slow speed. It didn't help that the enormous amount of filing required repeatably caused me to fail my Gets Hot! rolls. It's a real shame because I love that model maybe about all others. Should really be released in plastic.
I have never really had a problem with Wraiths as others have with proper pinning.
I greatly dislike painting drop pods and won't do another if possible. Too much stuff going on and it's pretty hard in my experience to get all the doors to easily close and easily open all at once.

Drop Pods are my personal least favorite. There is worse, but I won't have to make more than one of most other things, not since those plastic Kans came out...

I have a new one: Flamers of Tzeentch. Irregular joints that consist of TINY ball-and-sockets, and they're a pain in the ass just to get stuck to a BASE.
I had to use masses of GS just to keep them from falling apart when handled - even epoxy wouldn't hold, with contact points as tiny as those. One of them is even GS'd to its base.

The WFB hydra. Would be much easier if I had a dremel, because getting large enough pins in with my tiny pin vice is something I've given up on. Lots of glue and greenstuff is binding the necks to the body.

Surprisingly, my venomthrope stays together! However the same cannot be for my zoanthrope.... It isn't, as you'd expect it to be, that oversized head of its not attaching to the body, its standing it up on the base. I'll be playing a game with my 'nids and suddely *crash* "ah, that'll be the zoan again...."
Other models i hate is the DE war hydra! Grrrr! Hate that thing! Grrr!
The DE black guard annoy me because they are supplied with diagonal slit bases, this means that your entire unit either faces left, or right. It's stupid! Black guard champion: "Right, chaps, let's advance on this unit of spearmen while looking at that nice chariot over there!" So annoying.
Tbh, metal models that are big than a normal man sized figure just annoy me, plastic is far better.

Immortals...just immortals. Everything about them is wrong. Also sonic weaponry was a little annoying.

From fantasy - Scrap launcher. You need 5 hands to keep everything in place, and it turns to scrap unless every single jiont is pinned.
damm right mate, plus the thing is so sharp with the spikes and all that.

Ork burnaz. it seems that the plastic pieces never fit just right, or you get a good fit, but then you can't fit a head on the model.

My vandetta hands down. I hated every monent of using the horrible instructions and holding down pieces for ten minutes than watch in horror as it slowly fell down.

Zoanthropes and the hands of Obliterators. I mean, are the weapon sprues for the oblits even remotely sized for the little finger sockets?
