Would GW thin plastic glue do the trick, or do I need some other glue? What do you recommend?

GW cement is probably the worst on the market. It's really thick and gloppy. Get yourself a bottle of liquid plastic weld instead.

If you don't like using liquid cement, the Revell thin cement called Contacta is good.

If the Bommer is a Forge World model it is made of resin and should be assembled with super glue. Make sure to wash the parts before assembly, to get rid of any mould release agent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569924/6373455.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569924/6373455.page GMT Re:Glue for big plastic models?


I believe this is essentially the same stuff as the Contacta Kilkrazy referenced, except it has an ingredient in the US banned elsewhere.


I would do the the same for the very large part assemblies. Let it dry overnight without messing with it after you get the glue down.

For the rest of it I would use my usual Loctite Ultra gel:



I think is probably the best all-around superglue on the market for warhams whether they be plastic or resin.

As with any model, it will be easier to paint if you build sub assembles and paint them, and then assemble it at the end instead of assembling the whole kit and then trying to paint it.

Gw glue is not just the most expensive option. It is also quite literally the worst glue I've ever used. The bond is weak and brittle 80% of the time. I use testors plastic cement for everything which works by melting the plastic together just a bit. It's great stuff for all sizes of models. If you are unsure of a bond, you can also try 2 part epoxy but that takes longer to set and is really more desirable for resin models]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569924/6373492.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569924/6373492.page GMT Re:Glue for big plastic models?

This. Accept no substitutes.
