What glue do you use to assembly your miniature's. This is not counting the base's though, i only want to know what you use for the assembling of the model NOT INCLUDING base's.

For plastic, plastic glue. It's quick, easy and gives the strongest bond.

That makes sense.

I use super glue because it has a strong enough bond in my opinion and it gives me the option of breaking the bond more easily than plastic glue if I ever decide I want to re-pose or whatever.

Plastic glue means plastic,

Resin on the other hand requires Superglue.

Terrainbuilding Hotglue and or dependeing on what materials i work with.

Plastic glue for plastic.
Super glue for small resin or small metal models.
DAP Rapidfuse and metal pins/screws/wires for larger resin models. (This brand does not deteriorate over time like generic super glue typically does.)
Two-part epoxy (like JB Weld) for large metal models.
Hotglue for magents and particularly large terrain projects.

I have a lot of resin miniatures so I use super glue, but for plastic I use Revell plastic glue

Sometimes I use Tarzan's grip(if i have something big/heavy with some gaps i want filled)

With plastic glue, if you use a little you can reposition some parts as it will still pull apart, but if you dollop it on it will be permanent

The same with super glue

Yeah now i think of it, i drop every model i paint at least once and have pieces flying off and then i have to keep cutting all the old glue so i can re glue it, other wise it wont attach properly.

True story - I dropped My latest model i painted ( Abaddon ), literally 5 times lol. And every single time, his cape came off and his sword came off, so i had to keep re attaching it, and it was such a pain in the ass to do since it wouldn't fit perfectly any more. SO basically if you look at the pictures now you can see its not perfectly uniform because of all the glue that's there. I couldn't remove the glue because it was too complicated to do with out some how damaging the model or making some thing else fall.

So that's why im not going to use super glue in the future.
