I'm not happy with how I set out my Shrine of Aquila. I've glued it all together, is there any way of taking it apart so I can rebuild it how I actually want?

How exactly did you glue it? If you used polystyrene cement, your only option is to cut it apart (I'd recommend a razor saw, but thinner parts might respond well to a knife). If you used superglue, however, the bonds may be brittle enough to carefully snap pieces apart. Popping the piece in the freezer for a spell can help make the bonds even more brittle. Just make sure you support both sides of the break well and take it easy. Better to be a bit tentative with your pressure and decide to saw it than to bend and snap every window frame in the kit.

If you used superglue, then fingernail polish remover will do. If you used plastic glue, you'll need to cut the bonds with clippers or maybe even a hobby knife. Be prepaired for some cleanup work either way.
