Magnuson building kits construction

Posted by Anonymous on Monday, July 26, 2004 4:45 PM

I have a number of these to get started on assembling. Has anyone had any experience building these kits? What kind of glue did you use?

Someone suggested the only way to assemble and be sure the wall stay together is to come up with some kind of mechanical connection, such as screws. I'd rather not if I don't have to.

CA or epoxy

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

I have also had some luck bracing the inside of the corners with plastic angles and using CA that has gap filler.

There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.
