Not sure if this is the correct section to ask this but ... anyone advice on best way to glue some spent, brass, 50 cal shell cases to the (plastic) deck of my M8 Greyhound? Obviously these things are tiny and I was hoping to glue them around the superstructure without leaving tell-tale signs of adhesive? Considered matt varnish (Vallejo) but any advice would be welcomed! Thanks

Paul,
I think you nailed it yourself. Even using diluted white glue might leave little fillets around the cartridges. Spraying a flat coat and then dropping them on seems the best solution.
