Hi guys just got box of orion soviet figs to go with a soviet armoured train dio i am building and am trying to alter some of the figs !!!!!tried super glue but no good any ideas ?.

I not too sure what to use. Would something like epoxy resin work? It would probably be a bit fiddley with the size but might be worth a go.

when i do 1.35, iI pin them with wire then just use putty ,

Tried that Ian, the trouble is both Polypropylene and polyethylene are very resistant to any sort of solvent type glue. I used to use the solvent glue for making plastic/pvc pipe work joints and thought I would try it on 1/72 figures with no success. The figures are usually soft plastic whereas the pipe is hard.

I believe Loctite make a two part product - primer and glue - which is suitable for those poly type plastics.
