Hello, need some advice please Gents. I’ve spent the best part of two and a half hours tonight prepping (little needed doing as the figures are almost without flash), two units of Roman cavalry and trying to assemble them. So far I haven’t managed to complete one single figure. What glue works? I have used 3 different types (all I have), but they just will not stick. Tomorrow I’m going to try using glue and green stuff but if you know of a glue that works please let me know. Thanks. Mark G.
Mark, I emailed you on our thoughts but for anyone else reading this try using the thin superglue and give it a bit longer than usual, it worked for us when we put the latest 2 part figures together.
Gorilla superglue. Not the gel. Little late answer but future reference. Works perfect. Have used it on 1000’s of minis
i use everbuild industial grade superglue HV, WORKS FOR ME
The new Indian elephants look great! Now we need Indian crews with bows/javelins riding them astride. Hardly anyone makes this crew and we need one!
Finished my massive collection I got from Aventine a few monthes back. Took me awhile to finish painting. About 16 months. Republic Romans, Italian allies and some Successor troops and cavalry as well.
My blog page on the whole process

As far as I am concerned I had trouble to assemble them as well using superglue until I used Prince August metal glue that I recommand !
btw I can’t wait for the reissue of the thureophoroi and thracians!
Thracians now in store. Thureophoroi next.
I was looking for some 28mm models of the five different animal standards that were used in a Roman legion before the Romans used only the Eagle from the time of Marius. I telephoned Aventine and a few days later five excellent models arrived by post, including one they had made specially for me. Well done, guys, thank you.
