For decades I have struggled with Airfix horses with the separate bases. In the past I have tried various glues and eventually resorted to pinning the hose to the bases using metal pins.
Well, at last, I think I have found a solution. I bought a tube of Loctite Vinyl, Fabric and Plastic Flexible Adhesive and used it on some onf my mounted Napoleonic commanders. It works and provides a strong bond. I hope I now have a solution and will be able to use the mound of unemployed horses.
Here is the stuff:
Thanks for sharing this find Bob, it's always been a pet peeve of mine!. I think the pinning idea is very good too.
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT. I have been looking for decades for a solution. I plan to have a go at basing some Airfix Bedouin Arab camels, which will be a real test I think.
DeleteThanks, that's really useful to know. If it works on Airfix figures it should work on Merit / Faller trees which seem to be mad of the same sort of ungluable plastic.
ReplyDeleteGood find. My Airfix horses were always pinned through the base and up into the belly!
