White metal parts - How to...?

Centurion · Legend

Re super glue - it is possible to get some types that don't set instantly but can give you 30 -60 secs to get things aligned.

Those Fusilier figures are very nice. I'd agree with Centurion - cyanoacrylate super glue seems to work best for this purpose. The thicker "gap-filling" super glues seem to set more slowly (I use a product called Zap-a-Gap, which�is available�in various types). Other than washing the finished castings with detergent, I havn't found too much prep to be necessary prior to priming. Citadel Paints "Skull White", available in spray cans from Games Workshop, seems to be a good primer.

The normal way is to use super glue�-�I�have�used�it�for�years�with�great�success,�but�do�use�the�slow-setting�variety.

However, if you are really clever, get some LOW melting-point solder and solder them together. This supposedly gives a better joint.

I�must�warn�you,�that�I've�tried�this�method�in�the�past�and�all�I�end�up�doing�is�ruining�the�kit,but�a�friend�of�mine�used�it�all�the�time.��If�you're�good�at�general�solder�work,�it�might�be�worth�a�try�on�some�spare�bits�first.��At�least�with�the�soldering,�you�can't�stick�yourself�to�the�kit!

Hi I would suggest the kind of superglue designed for attaching brass etched parts to model kits you should be able to get hold of a variety of types thick-thin slow-fast to suit most any occasion plus excelorators for super quick bonds also releasing agent to correct that last mistake, from most good model suppliers heres a few
