Serenity Firefly-Class (Jim Bowen template) building thread

[Chuffy70]

thanks for the appreciations. it bothers me a little, that I did not made that thread while in the making, because now don't remember every little issue or question I had. But then again I just learned with that model. especially how I set up my improvised "work station" and how to work with my tools and the specific (kind of generic cheap) glue. - btw any recommendations regarding glue? I use a kinda slow drying "hobby glue" and a fast super glue sometimes. The slow one I apply let it dry a little bit and then put the parts together. the fast super glue is really fluid at first, have to be careful not to soak the paper.

I too use UHU for larger parts and big laminations - however on nearly all my models my go-to is Deluxe Roket,

It bonds within seconds on some cards and almost dry and ready within 10 - 20 seconds, so production is ramped up,

Not the cheapest, but I've not found anything better than this

Thanks for the suggestion. Short search on the web gave me three german vendors who are selling this. But yes, 50ml at 7-8€ is almost ten times the price of my no name cheap hobby glue

I use Aleen's Tacky Glue, and Zip Dry, and CA for really stubborn parts, No idea if they are available in EU
