I must say, I had a great time editing and publishing this Build Story. Not only is it detailed and well-explained, Damon did a great job representing the model and his take on the build process in a fantastic way.

Gary;
thank you. If Matan had not asked I would never have done it and it really makes a difference having such a great community that is both supportive and willing to offer constructive criticism, when and where needed. Cheers.

I usually use the Ambriod Pro Weld and while I tried the Testors liquid glue, I found it horrible to breath and it did not create the bond that the Ambroid did. Cheers.
