I glue them too.....but you have to keep dipsh!ts from trying to spin the prop 'cos they break them!

Who are you calling deepsh*ts!?

Real nice kits. I glue everything.The first thing I tell when showing the model room is "DO NOT TOUCH". Most kids are just awed,its the grown-ups that try.

Don't you just hate it when 'visiting friends' want to spin the props, or worse, pick up a model, with their fat, clumsy hands over the carefully fitted, stretched sprue antenna wire?!! What is it with adults who feel compelled to spin the bl**dy props?!
A real PITA!!

Lovely work Corey! That P-40 turned out great! Love the P-51 too.

I'm a prop gluer as well

You folks may not like this, but I don't glue the props in place. I typically built my models in "Air Superiority" configuration and with gear and flaps up. This doesn't show a lot of detail, but it does show the aircraft doing what it should do best. As such, on occasion I (usta) photograph them and they look a lot better with a prop that spins with a bit of airflow. Also, I don't see that gluing the propeller improves the look of the model and when someone does try to spin the propeller, it is less likely to break if it isn't glued.

I have seen a lot of IPMS folks pull the props out of a little polythene bushing for transprt and put it back on for display.

To each his own Ivan. However, I have found (especially in the smaller scales) that a spinning prop leaves too large of a gap for realism. Not on all models, but most.

Great shots Maglar - love that Mustang!

I never glue the props - I've moved ALOT and try to keep the breakable parts to a minimum...

 

[Wayne Little]

I trained my kids at an early age "Don't touch Dads Models" and for a while they were my guardians and protectors...they repeated my words when we had visitors!
So the touching and breakage was kept to a bare minimum!!...

I have a small label on my collection shelf that reads (in spanish) "If you don't want to get fired or want to keep making bussiness with this company, don't touch!"

Nice work Keith!

Very well done M. I always think the WB looks like a very nice little tank - rather sporty looking!

 

[muller]

Cheers fellas, I'm thinking of trying to modify the figures that come with the kit and sticking them on it, making a base for it too.

 

[Maglar]
