I use superglue (Krazy Glue brand) on everything. |

I think it depends on the plastic used but I've used Testor's model cement for my Gripping Beast and Frostgrave minis. |

Dan is right. Use model cement on hard plastic figures just as you would any other plastic kit – it softens the surface and makes a better bond and reduces gaps as well as giving you a bit of time to make sure you're right. Superglue doesn't do this. |

Good points! You can even use a combination of plastic cement from the tube (or the more viscous version), and the liquid, brush-on type together. The later as an "accelerant" to the first. Liquid, plastic cement can also be brushed onto areas where you might have some sanding/cutting burrs you want to eliminate/dissolve from off a plastic figure's surface (go lightly though). |
