    Ok now that I have all these perty little 3d parts, how do you attach them?

    They will get hit and probably disintegrate. So easy to replace but hold it in place, waiting to get blasted. 1555078974631-1027422138.jpg

    Goop? Kind of crude.

    E6k here. Or CA. Just enough to be strong enough but if the piece gets trashed grab it with pliers and twist and drop the new one in its place.

    Goop or e6000, CA good for the shelf but too brittle for battle

    Lookin' good there, Carl. Like I said, I'm open to printing one for you in a better material, now that I know what I'm doing a little better. (Hopefully it will last long enough as it is).

    Meanwhile, I concur with the E6000, it's excellent. Just enough hold for most purposes, with the flex that CA doesn't have. I'm using it on my new superstructure bits.

    Good luck!

    Those steam pinnaces are great! I'd have to vote for E6000 too.

    Epoxy and hot glue together maybe?
