I am having a problem with the outriders, however, as the tops of two of the bikes have a considerable gap in them. I've already glued the push-fit bits together, and am wondering how to close that gap before I prime them.

Would I need to learn how to use green stuff? Do you think I can use some model glue and vice-grip them together until they meld? I'm at a loss.

Thank you!

The pegs are meant to be very tight tolerance, but if the peg is a little too big and the hole a little small, they won't fit all the way.
Cutting the pegs down removes that issue.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800340/11199300.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800340/11199300.page GMT Help with closing gaps on the push-fit Outriders

Try cutting the pegs down to more like a D shape, and cut a little off the end.

This should be the first thing you try as I have found that cutting the pegs down a little, maybe 2-5 mm fixes the issue with the vast majority of GW push fit models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800340/11199307.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/800340/11199307.page GMT
