    Glue?

    In all the years I have been modeling I have tried many types of glue. The glue that has never let me down is Tamiya Cement. The glue is clean and it doesn't stink out the house like some other glues. I also find I don't use as much glue and one bottle lasts quite a few kit sets. When I have made mistakes with gluing parts the Tamiya has been very forgiving John

    Hi Everybody, I have only just discovered this site. After going through some of the articles you have here I decided to join. I live down here in Masterton New Zealand and have been building model trucks since 1978. Last time I counted I had around 70 built. I know that is nothing compared with other modelers out there but I'm not a fast builder. I gave up counting how many are yet to be built I mainly build American trucks but I do have some Europeans in the fleet also. Some of my last few builds I have made the jump and started building after market kits. I thought I knew a lot about building. Well the resin cabs bought me back down to earth with a crash and I felt I was learning over again. I hopefully have up loaded a photo of the first resin cab kit I ever built. The MACK Cruiseliner cab came from Australia and the rest of the kit is the AMT Cruiseliner. I have converted the Cruiseliner over to RHD and added Spyder wheels as we call them. I have exchanged the MACK engine for the Detriot Diesel 8V92 the bull bar came from the MACK Superliner kit and after several days of cursing and swearing the Bull bar does tilt. I realize the trailer is not completed but I have used it just for show. Thank you for allowing me to join this group and I hope I can upload more of my fleet as time goes by.
