I thought it was time that I did some more figures for my 54mm ECW project. Now I have been putting off gluing up some of the pikemen as it is very difficult to glue the pikes into the figures hands . As the figures are a rather stiff plastic and the pikes a very bendy one I ended up using super glue as the polystyrene glue doesn't seem to work. Well after a very frustrating hour and a half I've got them done , my finger ends are covered in glue as is my cutting board - what a b****y faff !- I remember why I put off doing them , anyway they are done and I will get them undercoated tomorrow .
A very bothersome and sticky chore Tony! I'm sure that the end result will be well worth the effort though, as you paint them to your usual excellent standard!
ReplyDeleteI did think of replacing the rather bendy pike with brass rod , but was going to be a expensive.
DeleteWell worth the faffing about for the finished product I think, looking forward to seeing them painted up.
ReplyDeleteGot them undercoated and they have joined the painting queue.
DeleteYup, Different type of plastic calls for a different type of glue. Goop and similar works well if you try it again.
ReplyDeleteNot come across 'Goop' before? (desolved plastic sprue?)
