I have Italeri’s 1:35 Brick Walls set and need some tips to glue it together.
I don’t know how to do it and keep them straight.

I was thinking of gluing it with the pieces flat of a table but I’m afraid some of the glue may run out the back side and either glue it to what ever its laying on or just make a mess on the back said. The seems are at the joints between the bricks so I’m afraid it would be hard to clean out.

Any tips would be appreciated.


Thanks.

i would suggest starting with your bottom row lined up

i would just line up the bottom row first, using something that is straight but low, like a ruler on its flat side

take two rulers, place the bottom layer of bricks in between to keep them straight, then let that row dry

from there you should be able to just place bricks on top and line them up with the bricks underneath (turn it sideways and run a flat edge along it) just like someone would lay real bricks, lining up thje bottom and building up

Thats a good idea to hold it between rulers. I’ll try it.

Thanks stoner.
