Waaagh! Warbiker

Im losing it lol. my primed drop pod that i tried to glue together when i started has had its time and has fallen apart long since. i haved tried to repair it today and lets just say me and drop pods dont do so well. its been held together for some time by rubber bands now and well. ive reverted to the rubber bands at this rate. 
is there a easy cheating way to get it to stay together? i dont care if i have to coat it in glue and weld the doors shut lol
well hot glue work over top of paint? because i know i have at least some of that.

I would think that if you use plastic cement, not super glue, then it should hold together for a long time.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

Using a good plastic cement will indeed work, I use Testors Model Masters Plastic Cement and it will melt right through paint/primer with ease. It sounds to me like the OP either used GW "plastic glue" or super glue... Probably the former, though.

A good quality plastic glue, or spuer glue and pin any joins tha are weak. use a knife and or files to clean up any mating surfaces, especially now youve had problems with adhesion, theres probably a layer of glue in the gap making the fit even worse.
Glue works best when the pieces fit nicely, and also might have been afected by mold release, cleaning the parts might avoid this.

If the model is primed or painted, super glue will only make a surface bond with the paint and be very weak. Pinning would help, but if you want permanent, cement is the best way to go.

Super glue is still the inferior choice, paint or not. I can speak from experience and say that pinning is not required on building a drop pod. Also, I was not disagreeing with your post, only adding more information.
