Well, my current project.

Tamiya Mobelwagon with Eduard etch and , when assembled, JR barrel.

Not exactly the cleanest build. I am still a No0b with photoetch. My biggest problem, besides parts that go flying, is getting the etch to adhere well. For small pieces i use Zap-A-Gap CA, with a maybe 20 sec work time. I clean the parts, both plastic and etch, but it still likes to break em off on me.
What do most of you Etch gods use for CA?
Oh, here is the link to my gallery, as i am too lazy to upload the pics on my site.

Nice stuff!!

Oh, side note regarding your site, this is a t-34, prolly captured during korea, as a ton of them were lying around, and the russians probably weren't to cavalier when it comes to giving away tanks during and after world war two to thier cold war enemy. :-)

When I work with PE I always use Cyano Acrylic Glue (CA Glue) Take a piece of aluminum foil and lay a drop of the CA glue on it Take a toothpick and apply it on the area where your piece of PE sticks to the model then carefully position it on the model and it should stick almost immediately. For me CA glue is the way to go with PE only be sure you use just enough and not too much or else you have to do small sanding everywhere on your model
