Hi! Straight to the point: I wanted to share the glue I use on Games Workshop Plastic Miniatures. I've found it far superior to GW plastic Glue or really any other glue I've tried. It's very much like rubber cement, in that once you glue something it will stay glued, but you can pull it apart without causing damage to your mini. Here goes!

So here it is. Amazing Goop Craft Arte, I just buy it at Michaels craft store.


Just apply a healthy amount to part of what you want to glue and press and hold for a few seconds. After that just leave it for a hour or so and it'll be solid enough to prime and paint. It'll achieve full bond in a day or so.

If you decide to take apart a model then it's a as easy as pulling the parts off. As you can see from this ork boy, it stretches quite a bit.




And there you have it! The arm was entirely undamaged and all you have left to do is pull of the residue with a your fingers of a pair of tweezers!


After that It'll be just as new! (I know it doesn't look like it here but trust me it'll be good.)


NOTE: It only work well with plastic (As far as I know) I know it won't work with Finecast, and I have yet to test it on metal minis. Your FAR better off with PVA glue for terrain projects as well

Happy Wargaming!

I've found to work great on Plastic GW models. It does Not work on Failcast and I have yet to try it on metal minis.
White glue is far better for polystyrene.

I mostly like it because I first assembled my Ork boyz as Slugga boyz. With this stuff I was able to rip the arms off intact, and not have to use a craft knife to slice of the broken parts

Mind if I ask a couple of questions?

1. Does it make the attachment brittle? I've always found my models break way too easily because of the attachment being brittle.

2. How much would this cost?

Thanks for putting this thread up!

I can't remember how much it cost. Got that tube several months ago and I'm still using it. It'll last a LONG time, there's so much glue in it.

As for durability, I've dropped many a thing of the table with this glue, including a battle wagon, nothing ever broke.

Ounce for ounce it's cheaper than super glue. I use super glue on Finecast Models.

As for transportation, you mean putting them in a box and taking them with you somewhere? Well I know from experience that you can pile a bunch of Minis assembled with that glue and just toss 'em in and dump 'em out without damage to the minis. Can't say anything about paint damage but the models themselves will be just fine.
