Hi

So I've just used a freaking ton of super glue trying to put this thing together...and its still in a bunch of pieces

So any metal model advice?

Thanks a million

A pin vice is your friend.

Basically use a pin vice, you can get it off the Gw page among other places. Drill a little hole in each piece of metal so they line up. Glue a piece of firm wire in one hole and use that piece of wire to hold the other segment in place and as an interior gluing surface.

that and green stuff

you dont need to pin it too much if you use a mix of gs and super glue

Thanks guys i appreciate the answers...now I will stop glueing myself to myself over this model

Super-glue activator is your best friend. I will see if I can find a site for reference.

Who on earth would need a 4 oz. bottle of super glue

The bloodthirster is a horrible model to glue anyway. Pinning is your best bet, otherwise you'll just be glueing it everytime you take it out of your armycase.

No super glue activator actually makes the hold WEAKER then normal. Something as large and heavy as a greater demon, is just a bad mix with that stuff. Pin the hell out of it. It is super easy and when done, Id bet your demon would survive a drop test (tho I wouldnt try it lol)

Good luck. Also on something that large, washing it in soapy water is always a good idea as well

Yeah I washed the model before hand, now I'm goin to get my friend's older brother to show me how to pin this dang thing

First I gotta get myself unglued from myself hahaha

I was over at hobby town to get some puddy and they had these huge plastic containers of superglue and I told the guy at the register this would harden up before I could use it all and he laughed and agreed with me.
