Hey everyone,

So I have put together my whole dark vengeance kit and just snapped everything together easily. Now I really am not sure if I should glue the models together or not? I just want to make sure because they seems to be staying together quite nicely and if I want to upgrade it would be easier.
Do you think that its a good idea?

Also I used Testers cement for metal & wood models to put together some older Lord of the Rings models years ago and they seem to be holding up fine and the plastic isn't deteriorating or anything so would I be able to use that glue on the dark vengeance models if I do decide to glue them?

I would, would hate to get them painted and ready to have them fall apart.

I'd use CA glue will melt the plastic together.

I'd glue them before painting and I'd use testors (or other brand) plastic cement.

I would definitely glue them.

I use Testors plastic glue as well. Works well.

I would glue them.
With my own Dark Vengeance models I did not originally, but after a careless friend dropped one of my models and it came apart I found the paint job was ruined and it was instantly noticeable because the lines showed up along the model like beacons. Gluing them together makes them less likely to fall apart and ruin your paint job. I highly recommend doing so

Thanks everyone! I was thinking that if I did drop them it would mess up the paint like Muzwa said and that makes sense.
I guess I will have to buy some plastic glue/cement

Definitely glue. Even if the models push together, you can probably reduce the seams by gluing them and ensure they don't open up and ruin your paint job down the road.

Superglue works great; plastic glue melts the area, and while it does give a stronger bond, any mistakes can be catastrophic for the model. it also makes the models impossible to pull apart or separate at a later time, not that that's really in the plans. You can also reduce the seams by shaving down the pegs everything fits on by a tiny bit.
