I'm one of your biggest fans and you knocked another one out of the park! I have some junk Hiss Tanks and Snow cats and now know what to do with them!
Do you use super glue or some kind of plastic apoxie when putting the new plastic pieces in? |

Of all the fantastic vehicles you've done, this one is in my top 3 favorites. Great work!

I will weigh in on this for you. I am not sure what all Blood uses but I highly recommend using a chemical weld cement. I use both epoxies and super glues in a few instances and they will both work but neither is designed for the job and both have a limited lifespan. The reason is they simply stick to the surface of a very non porous plastic. Glues and epoxies both work work on nonporous items but will always work best on porous items. Your chemical welds actually melt the surface of the plastics, as the plastics are mashed together they melt together and then when they resolidify they are strongly bonded together much like a single piece of plastic rather then two pieces glued together. All of your styrene sellers will tell you to always use chemical welds. |

I used super glue in this one. I scratch up the parts a bit with sandpaper where I'm going to glue them. It helps give a stronger bond. That Bondene stuff is also very good.
When your ready to start building send me a PM I will tell you how I made it.

Your right the hard part is the idea. This only took me about 90 mins to build the body.
