I thought superglue would do something funny to the plastic. I would like to come to the meeting, but we're having my son's to best friends up from MA for the weekend and I'm not sure how the hubby would feel about #1 spending quality time with that many children and #2 me going to the first get together w/o him. Protective he is. Especially because he only comes "home" on the weekends. He still works in MA. I live in Fryeburg, btw.

Thanks for letting me know. If you change your mind about coming down (and Fryeburg is a ways....), just let me know and I would be happy to provide directions. There will likely be a few spouses here as well, so remind your hubby that he has nothing to worry about....haha.

I just got one hell of a super glue that works great. Its lock tight super glue gel. It works on everything. I even glued metal to wood. I thought it was imposable to do that. I found it at the end of an isle in hardware at walmart. And because its gell you don't put too much. you should try that.

Thanks, I think I saw that, but was unsure. Now we'll have something to do this week. Although, I hope it's another gorgeous week and I can get the kids outside.

DO NOT use Super glue on your models.

It leaves white and yellow stains on the plastic. The chemical in the glue is to hard. I'd start by checking your local phone book for a model shop ner by. You can all so sometime from model glue at the local dollar store.

That's is were I find mine. Best part is... it a dollar. lol Best of luck on finding the glue. Hey if you do ever get a chance to meet up with the group. I'll be sure to bring you a couple tubes. IF I know you'll be there. lol

SeeYa,
TK

Everyone have a great meeting Sunday!! All so if anyone can or would like to the invite is still out for my place Saturday night. Pizza, drink...ect. With movie. Plus I'll be doing my new model and working on the suit. Your more than welcome to come by. Later!

In my opinion that regular model glue isn't worth the tube its put in. Its messy and if you put too much wich is real easy it warps the plastic. The chemical in model glue melts and bonds the plastic. Which technically is what you want but its just as good to stick em together. oh yeah and it also yellows in time. Ive never had a problem with super glue. Plus i usually bondo the seams and put tons of paint over it anyway. So I never see that. The one thing ya gata watch out with super glue though is if you have clear parts like cockpit canopies or windows it could fog them up. Most of the models on my photo bucket are super glued so check it out. Well theres my 2 cents.

I would love to come over on Saturday, TK, but we are having company from out of town Saturday night until Sunday morning...figures. I could really use the break from being home with the fam...especialy with my in-laws arriving Sunday night on top of it.

OK, guys, I'll do half in model glue and half with super glue!!lol But seriously, I was supposed to paint AFTER I glued it. The boy will not be pleased if it is not PERFECT. I swear, the child has a future at ILM. I ust hope he likes his Death Star cake. I just finished it, and is it after 12 yet? Well, it must be somewhere....and yes it is!

You'll have to invite us to his next star wars party, so we can all wear our costumes!

I saw the R2 pan on ebay. I figured a way to do it w/o the shape. We don't have costumes tomorrow, though. He and I would probably do it, and his sister. His friends aren't into it as much. Dad either. I actually had Dad ask me who Padme was today...If there is anything left, I'll freeze the cake and save it for you guys. Then it will be a Death Star II cake...I will cut it accordingly. I'll actually put the bday boy in charge.

My mom made my cakes without the pans too. I can vividly remember the yoda. I'll have to ask her if she has pictures.... What time and where is the leftover cake and ice cream going to be served?? Haha.

Finally found some of the new Saga Legends figures. Only got shadow trooper with black coin, special ops with gold coin, and left Zev (former snowspeeder pack-in). Still looking for Commander Neyo.
