I've got my rifle kit - NOW WHAT!!

Post by Lumpy »

I have a rifle kit to go with the blue senate costume, but I need the experience of everyone here to make sure I don't royally screw this up.
What should I use to paint the rifle and what works best to hold it together??

As always, any help is more than welcome.

Thanks,
Chris

What is the kit made of? That will determine a lot about what glues and paints to use on it.

Dunno what kind of glue you are looking for but Barge Rubber Cement works great. That's what I used to hold all of my Pirate boot parts in place and a year later it's still working. It's expensive glue though and you need to order it online. I couldn't find it in-state.
Just don't do what I did, glue yourself to the object you are working on while half asleep. :rotflmao: I had to have someone pull the boot off my hand. :lol:
