yeah mine are like that, they are too long once they have been curved, i've managed to trim a couple of them down and then join them to the end of the adjoining railings, but one mistake and it gets complicated......apart from that i've had no other problems, apart from my cat jumping on top of and crushing half the supersturcture *Frowns*

just spent all day trying to glue the 10 metre range finder brass bits onto the plastic. (issue 104) the parts are miniscule, an absolute nightmare (for someone with my eyesight)

(issue 104) the parts are miniscule, an absolute nightmare (for someone with my eyesight) You might want to but a set of magnafiers with a built in light. They have an adjustable head strap so you work without havig to reposition it. That is what I use and it is a godsen....Cheers Mark |

With Brass parts, you can first anneal the brass by first heating it with a lighter. This will make the brass pliable and lose some of it's springyness. To glue it, use a thick superglue gel so it doesn't soak into the wood. Superglue gel also has the ability to let you move the parts around to get them into the right position before the glue sets. Make sure it is a slow setting superglue gel. Also, sand the gluing side of the Brass to give teeth to it so the superglue will act more efficiently. I hope this helps you....Cheers Mark

Hello. Can I use model filler on the join between brass parts or does it have to be Milliput?
Many Thanks
Robert

Hello. Can I use model filler on the join between brass parts or does it have to be Milliput? Many Thanks Robert Hi rwc, model filler should be fine. I've used a multitude of different fillers with no problems to date. My most popular filler is a common garden pre mix multi purpose 'Patch'n Fill' bought from the local hardware store. Its quick dry and easy to sand smooth. Baz |
