if its really bad, cut lines/a grid pattern were the 2 pieces meet so the glue has places to hook into

I have half a mind to kill you, and the other half agrees

I file either side slightly to give the glue more to cling too.

They're not gluing into the slotta bases, or the models aren't staying together? IIRC all of the mordians are single piece, except the heavy weapon crewman.

First case, most useful trick it to use a pair of pliers to put a kink in the tab so it fits tightly into the slot.

Second case, most usual culprit is dirty models. Give them a clean in warm soap water and a scrub with a toothbrush before assembly.

With the heavy weapon carriage thing, you probably need to file it to fit properly and get rid of the mould lines on the lower recess on the weapon shield.
