When assembling tank models which have resin bodies and metal track sections, what glue do you find works best? |

Epoxy. Score the surfaces of both a bit too, before applying. |

Greylegion is correct JB weld is the best . Score the surfaces and clamp . It will not come apart |

Epoxy. JB Weld technically is epoxy too… Damon. |

I usually use 1 minute 2 part epoxy, but if you just gotta have one part glue, try Quikgrab. Places like AC Moore and Michaels usually have it. It can be stringy. |

Pins and epoxy, just to be safe. |

Wait, why isn't this question from the Editor about Warhammer? I've been told he's secretly shilling so I had to believe it. Just a trick to make us think he's not a GW fanboy? |

I use super glue gel for all my minis. Works great. |

I use super glue but not always successfully and can't be bothered with epoxies, never got on with all the mixing business (although there are probably products around these days that mean it's not an issue anymore) |

Super Glue (but not the cheap rubbish you get in £ shops)… And I will fill any obvious gaps (say if the tracks and tub don't mate up well). Don't really have any problems – then again, I base up all my vehicles – so that makes them much more durable than unbased (and makes them match the foot figures too  )
