Heya, i've recently built myself a nice 1200 pt army of tau, but i've used this cheap glue and now a few of them are falling apart and i'm unhappy with some of the poses (Glued my hammerhead tank engines upside down >.<. What's the best thing for removing plastic models of all glue so i can restart.

Did you use superglule or actual plastic cement?
If you used superglue, then try getting a hobby knife between the two surfaces and applying just a small amount of pressure.
If you used plastic cement, then I really have no advice to give.

No, just some glue i brought at a toolshop ;p

Wanna reglue them with much better modellers glue and in better poses too (mainly my tank with it's engines that are reversed)

We Still need to know WHAT kind of glue it is, though.

If you still have the tube/bottle, post its name here.

There are a few aussies, so we'll know what it is, even if the others don't.

If it's something like 'Tarzan grip', for example, then you'll have to cut them off, as it works much like a plastic glue (solvent melts the plastics together).
