[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2244054, member: 2205"] For metal on metal, just your everyday superglue. Same with metal on plastic. Plastic on plastic gets plastic "cement" which is really a compound that crazes the plastic slightly and causes it to bond together quite well as if the separate pieces were from a single piece of plastic. Any gaps can be strengthed with pins drilled through both pieces and superglued if the parts are large, and should also be strengthened and disquised with Kneadatite. I'm also in favor of cleaning miniatures and filing any casting flash or other anomolies. I then prime all my minis with black spray primer. You can get mini stuff, but I don't see the point, I use auto primer and it's cheaper. I also don't like to paint with mini paints; I have yet to find a brand that has much of a shelf life after opening; they all dry out without constant use. I use your typical (and much cheaper) craft store paints with brand names like FolkArt, Apple Barrell and Ceramcoat. [/QUOTE]
