Not a 6mm question as such but i want to use some "airfix" type plastic soldiers (you know the type-sort of greasy plastic) as armatures for some conversions , now i have some of the correct sort of paint for an undercoat spray but i remember having trouble with gluing on shields etc in the past. What glue should i use? |

Varies a bit as not all of the plastics are the same. Some of the more recent kits by Hat use a different plastic and will will stick properly with styrene cement ('airfix glue'), otherwise have to try superglue and hope for luck. Check out section 5 here re: gluing and converting polyethylene figures http://www.hat.com/Tips.html edit: if you mean greasy plastic then probably polyethylene. There is also a softer plastic sometimes used that takes glue better (which Hat have used for some kits), and then very occasionally the hard plastic as used by GW, AFV kits etc. |

Yeah, I'd go with Super Glue types ... |
