TK bondservnt[501st] Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I've used e-6000 and bolts with nuts. you can attach everything to the tube with 6/32 bolts just like for a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so far I have been screwing down everything I can but for those few pieces that are too small was wondering what everyone was using for best results.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 for the smaller parts like the casing deflector, and the layoff barrel tip, and the bayonet lug, you can use small holes drilled into them and apply aluminum rivet pins into holes in the tube. then with e6000 again to complete the bond. before you primer those areas, you can add some model putty to create a stronger bond, over the glue, to add some thickness at the base of the join. then after primer and paint, a nice dull mattte coat of plastic paint in clear helps to give everything a layer of plastic over all these fragile parts, and you can pretty much trust it from there...

Thanks Vern, I'll give this a try. I started a build thread to show progress... My first E-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
