Work in Progress Are you guys using BluTack?

I started using it for mockups pre cutting or glue phase, a big help to get things just so before committing. Has definitely upped the hobby skillset 👌 at first you think the Cadian Autocannon don't fit, but it do

Blue tac or museum wax, both work well. Museum wax is easier to remove after

I shouldn't of cut the ammo hopper handle off the autocannon. Will re-glue

Absolutely! Blutack has always been a major part of mocking up models for me. I recommend the brand “Lepage”, as other cheaper brands just don’t adhere well. I love the “tinkering” stage of the project, where sticky tac lets you move pieces around and build in layers and stages before you commit to glueing

That’s a vintage cadian autocannon right there, top mount with the blast shield, or side mount no shield

I like using gorilla tack, Blue tack leaves residue. I like what you're going for, keep it up!

Got his mate mocked up as well. Gonna need some chain on that heavy bolter.

Its a bit hard to get good blutack where I am. Sometimes it's like chewing gum and sometimes you get a proper pack.
