Clive Tucker Nice work Steve Hart – i too have used Milliput before now, but for seats. For the belts I’ve used ‘Green Stuff’ – also a 2-part putty, but it’s flexible when set, so you can do very thin layers – very useful for flappy layers of clothing… i make a small thin disc out of the stuff, then when it’s gone off i just cut strips as required. Bit like this naff attempt at customising a seat from a WW1 German Hannover plane I have on the go. The seat padding is Milliput.

Agung Waspodo Usually I just use whatever debris left from my gypsum mix, but since I need a somewhat precised blocks I poured a specially colored gypsum. This mixture then poured onto a flat metal cookie top lid. When hardened, I just break and shape them to my need.

Hope it clarify things for you, Brian Feather.

‘This is the glue I use. Low viscosity, quick curing 5s. I especially like that the vials are plastic and the rear ends cannot come open. This method of CA application works for virtually any type of glue packaging, but here I’ll use this krazyglue vial for demonstration.”You’ll need some Q-tips. Make sure the handle is plastic, some are made of corrugated paper. Ones with thicker handles are nicer.”Like stretching plastic sprues, we can stretch these Q-tips over the flame of a lighter or candle, and now we have these miniature funnels. Longer you stretch, thinner the funnel becomes.”On the left is a 200ul pipette tip. testor glue tip on the right. These can be used as adapters to mount our q-tip funnels onto glue bottles/vials.”These plastic components are inert to CA, so glue wouldn’t cure or harder inside them, and we can disperse tiny drops of glue one drop at a time. CA would eventually cure at the very tip of our q-tip funnel, which also acts as a temporary seal. Simply cut away a small section of the tip and get back to work : Unless the fittings were tight and snuggly, some modeling tape would be necessary to seal up the joins.’Brass Nautilus added 5 new photos.DIY superglue funnel
