Just as a small point. For the citadel metal tube, you can clear it by taking a lighter to it. Hold it with some pliers (for safety) and then use a lighter on the other end. You will hear the glue burn and pop and it will clear it out. I agree that Tamiya ET is the GOAT but now you have a way to use AI that glue.

Great video, good tips 👍. Some comments; Contacta cement - clear the blocked metal tube bit by heating with a lighter. Good for bigger models or with poor fit as it has limited gap filling properties unlike super thin, which is always my own first preference. Will be checking out the broach - never too many tools 😅 Thanks for highlighting the Tamiya and AK options for super thin glue, I bought two bottles of the Tamiya airbrush cleaner , should last years 😊. Fillers; source Tamiya epoxy putty rather than green stuff, just all round better... Milliput - watch Marco Frisoni's video on it. Sprue goo - agree about the smell and it can be awkward to use cleanly (sacrifice an old brush?) but, if you know you will be able to blend into the gaps with more super thin cement it can be great, especially when production line assembly of organic/irregular shaped models.

I stopped using the tube stuff because the tamiya brush is just far better. And not everyone has a lighter available. Especially when I switched to gaping. 🤣 And as for sprue goo.

Thx a lot for starting this new series! Can't wait for the next episode. I'm about to start a new army and I'm struggling with the preparation of some models, since painting them once fully assembled is far from being comfortable or fun. But I haven't found a satisfying solution for breaking down the process yet. Priming everything in the sprue and painting harder to reach parts of the models shortly after/before building the model? Great in terms of accessibility, but removing the pieces from the sprue/removing mold lines after they've been primed and/or partially painted? Pretty f'ed up. Preparing all parts incl. assembly for priming without gluing on some parts (like arms) would do the trick... but quite a lot of parts of the affected models need to be attached to the inside of the torso -.- I rly hope you can provide the missing piece to this puzzle and bring the fun back into this project! Thx again for the great work, including you're very informative and funny videos in the past. Keep them coming and stay safe!

22 күн бұрын

Ah yes you’ve accidentally hit the nail on the head. The hidden skill of figuring out assembly without assembling every part. There’s not really a trick to it other then reading ahead and deciding whether something SHOULD be glued or not. I tend to not glue anything that covers something else. So arms across bodies. Guns in the way. Glueing to bases. Any number of things I look at right before gluing and go, “nope, not gluing that. There’s no way I want to paint around that!”.

sprue goo has caused me more grief than anything else. The fact its still plastic cement means that details can get lost if it goes where it isn't supposed to whereas normal filler doesn't do that. I'd say the best filler I've found is vallejo plastic putty. It can be cleaned up easily and doesn't melt plastic.

More info for people: Glue: tried over 20 of them, and back to Citadel for gluing most all of the tiny plastic bits that they make you glue just to prove your committment. Use Gorilla Super Glue for ancient resin models. Use JD Weld Epoxy UV tube (US brand?) for the unglue-able-- you dab the glue on, hold pieces for 45s, flip glue pen around, turn on UV, shine for 10-15s and glue is set. Works 100% of time. || Clippers: Make sure to cut with the flat side of the clippers against the sprue. Also cut the thickest sprue attachments first.

You know it really depends on the ideal these day. I just assembled a bunch of Flesh Easter Courts and there were almost no mold lines at all.

The most annoying models I've built lately were the Blood Bowl Elf teams. Elven Union, Wood Elves & Dark Elves are all messes of tiny weird shaped pieces.

I feel you even though I’ve never built those. It’s just taken me almost a month of hobby time to assemble, like 40 tiny models!!

13:40 NSFW! Mind the gap. Dspiae has a pretty broad product line now. I have several of their tools, and like them. I haven't tried the clippers yet, but I have Tamiya and Godhands for the 1-2 cut.

I have genuinely never heard anyone have a bad thing to say about sprue goo. What makes you concerned about its toxicity? I've never made any. Is it the smell?

@thestateofplay2023

Sometimes I think people in this hobby are just expected to toe the line. Prime black, black base rims, backflush an airbrush, sprue goo etc. but when you look objectively some of this advice is terrible. Sprue goo is an utter pain to use and surely melted plastic mixed with chemicals isn’t great for you. 🤣 Most tips are: one person said it, and a million others never bothered to challenge it. Everything is personal opinion really. I guess I’m suggesting that people find out for themselves what they like or don’t like instead of doing it because someone once said it was good. 👍🏼
