Hi everybody!
I have small problem with the 8th edition skeleton warriors and Grave guard minis.
Yesterday I wanted to build the Senechal and I wasnt able to do it. The torso kept spillting apart and I wasnt able to glue it to the legs. I didn't even try the and arms.
Can someone help me get along with these minis?
I have similiar issues with the skeleton warriors kit.
I am using Tayima extra thin plastic cement.
Thank you in advance.

I am using Tayima extra thin plastic cement. how thin is this? is it really liquid? You might have better luck with a thicker and creamier plastic cement, I was having issues with gluing hands to wrists and the low viscosity of the plastic glue was the main issue |

I had no issue with models like Black Knights, Minotaures and Lizardmen dinos. The trouble started with the old zombie kit, But it borderline still worked. I am thinking just to green stuff it to place. |

Yes - a thicker glue should do it. Plastic kits shouldn't need green stuff to help assemble them.

I use Plastruct Plastic Weld, and love it. Takes moments to glue plastic together. Super tight bond, as it literally welds the two parts together. I have made both the units you are talking about and it was super easy. Can find it on Amazon.

Of it doesnt works I will try Plastruct plastic weld. Will have a follow up post how it worked out. |

I recommend Bob Smith Industries CA glue. It works great with both metal and plastic models. They have several different viscosity levels available. I use Maxi-Cure. It is thick enough to fill gaps such as the extra space in slottabases. It also stays where you apply it without running all over the model. Their Insta-Set CA accelerator spray is also great. |
