Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Put the model into the freezer for about a day. The cold does magical things to SUPERglue. You can easily remove SUPERglued items in this fashion.
If it was assembled with PLASTIC glue, start prying and praying.

If I freeze the entire model will the cold weaken and ruin the rest of the model? Because it's really only the one area that I would like to change.

Anyway, I'm going to get my garage in order so I can build my own gaming table. I've seen tutorials on how to build a lava table, so I think that is what I'm going to try for. Now I just need to get to cleaning...

Look, if you want to be sure, get a saw. Like I'm always telling my mother, dont pry. Find a jeweler's saw or one of the saw attachments for an exacto knife. If you're up against straight joints, versus curvy bits, you should be okay. Glue can be stronger than plastic sometimes, but I'm pretty sure steel wins.
Bartertown and Ebay are really your only options.
Get a few pieces of Sprue. Glue a few pieces of Sprue together with SUPERglue. If you would like a comparison, try some PLASTIC glue too. Place some into the Freezer for a day or so and then attempt to remove the parts. Try the same with the pieces of glued Sprue which was not placed into the deep freeze. Woah, what a difference!

Science!
I was almost hoping one guy would be missing a leg or something so I could try out the fabled customer service, but everything looked great. I really like the weight of metal (I know, I know), but these poses are really better in resin.
It's been a long time since I've had new models, so this is really fun. I want to order magnets and backpacks so all my assault doodz can have the option of zooming around.
I have no idea what the previous owner was doing with this model. The steps were in backwards and upside down and there was a quarter glued to the inside...I am going to need a lot of greenstuff to tidy this mess up.
Chatted to one of the employees who recognised me and checked out the new 'nid kits. Will have to drop by there sometime with my guys and play a game/show off my terverigon conversion.
Sorry to hear it was Plastic Glue. But good news is you got $0.25 of your purchase price back!

Fuck spoilers this is the greatest:

Orks are so great.

Buy my 40k shit.
How does everyone here handle painting their tank turrents, etc? On my troops I fully assemble them and then paint there. Looking at all my Land Raider pieces it would seem it would be better to paint the weapons and then asseble them.

TURRET
Secondly, I usually leave mine unglued , but in the case of this stormraven i'm painting, the turret is completely off the model and I'm painting it separately.

Back in the days of the Third Battle of Armageddon my LFGS (Sci-Fi City Orlando) had several boards that were very Ork inspired and one of them was a dock that had an Ork submersible crashed into it. This reminds me so much of that board.
Wow, I didn't even realize I typed that and I know the correct spelling.
Anyway, the Flamestorm cannons look like they would be easier to paint and then assemble; same with the twin-linked assault cannon.

Your LGS is sci fi city? I went there once on a pit stop during a business trip, that place is fucking fantastic.
Also, I'm in Tampa area with Nax and about 2 other gamers. We really should have a florida get-together.

I'm totally up for a Fl get-together. I'll bring my Green Tide.
And Ken O, I too need to get settled with baby stuff. My wife is ready to pop; could be any day now. And it's our first one.
Yeah plus I only paid $40 for the model to begin with. I wanted a monolith but couldn't justify the $80 GW was asking for it. Oh well it will be a learning experience for me with greenstuff.
I mean, it could probably use a coat or two of gloss varnish, but I'd totally accept that as "dark, storm-toss'd seas" or suchlike.
Whether it's thematically appropriate for comic relief fungus-gorillas or not, that's a whole other debate really.
