Glaeken Templaris Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Brothers, just managed to snag a 2nd hand landspeeder from my local mini store, its been glues together and primed black but i was wondering before i attack the doors with my hobby knife so i can fid some typhoon launchers if anyone had any advice on removing said doors without me damaging the hull. Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231435-landspeeder-assistance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Depends on the glue: Superglue = no problem (in general) because the glue has "crystalized" to bond item together. So you'll have to break or cut the crystal, so to speak. Model glue = big problem because the plastic is melted together. If superglue was used then you might be able to break the door off. If model glue was used then you'll have to concentrate the damage to the door itself. My initial thought is to cut from the center of the door and trimming, cutting, and slicing to the hull. Good luck! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231435-landspeeder-assistance/#findComment-2783936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Cold superglue is more brittle than warm superglue. Chuck it in the freezer for a couple of hours to maximize your chances of success. - T14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231435-landspeeder-assistance/#findComment-2785909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 A worst case scenario: the model has been properly built and glued. My suggestion: drill, put a magnet in the door, chop off the typhoon, magnetize it and you're good to go ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231435-landspeeder-assistance/#findComment-2785912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaeken Templaris Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thanks for the advice brothers, have now managed to have a look at it properly and if looks like its just ben glues with your standard superglue so a little pressure in the right place and they should pop off no problems. To be honest i think i now tha i know its all been stuck together with superglue to take it to bits and get the pilots console press molded to i can make another one as ive got another landspeeder salvaged from joblot of 40k stuff a friends son had lost intrest in but its was missing both gunner and pilot, pilot console, bumper and antenna. Have so sar managed to get replacement antenna thanks to a friends ravenwing upgrade pack that he handed me ( he'd lost intrest with this dark angels) thinki might have the folk out for the bumper from a bitz site as my gs-fu aint that great lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231435-landspeeder-assistance/#findComment-2785954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
