Hey thanks for all the great tips on ammo boxes. Quick noob question! Which glue is best for this type of box. I tried making one tonight and it's a bit of a failure as it won't stick together. I used plastic cement which i had laying around this doesn't seem to work very well; albeit after two whiskies! :)

hi , thers a clue in the name plastic glue , as it only glues plastic , either go with awood glue , but super glue is great for this sort of thing , but only use a small amount as it wicks , and dont stick your fingers to it either as ive done a few times
regards, ice

The idea of CCTV cameras in motorway service area’s watching all their coffee stirrers disappear.
Obviously why the coffee is so dear there.
Now I don’t feel quiet so guilty leaving with a pocket full. :{ :{

Great idea/Tip and costs nothing. As Sax says, the great thing about this forum is that experienced modelers and novices alike, will share their Knowledge. There are some forums with some great modelers but they dont like parting with their techniques, a bit like the magic circle I suppose. Now I will probably be taken out and shot for saying that LOL :O :O :O

Hi Sax. I was thinking of building the metal storage box beside the driver and putting some 88 shells in it. I was thinking about some wooden crates for the schwimwagen though.
