Best plastic glue is far and away Tamiya extra thin plastic cement. the brush applicator and high fluidity means you can dry fit and then just brush onto the seam and it bonds perfectly. the brush applicator also means you can melt off flash and smooth out gouges or damage

For glue, I would recommend the Tamiya model glue. You apply it using a small brush, which allows for really precise application, and the glue is super thin, so it runs into the cracks you may have missed or couldn’t get to. I originally started dong model tanks, and when I started getting into war hammer I kept using the glue and kept getting better results and having an easier time than when I used the citadel glue.
I am a beginner as well, and wanting to try out the suggestion of Brent from Goober i tried the Tamiya model glue too. Totally worthy purchase, the little brush makes it so easy and pleasant to apply the glue. A bit extra care should be used since the brush doesn't allow the same degree of control of the citadel long thin output, but i find out that i prefer having the glue laid in layers rather than in drops.
I mostly make model planes and I use two types of cement: tamiya extra thin cement and revell contacta professional. The tamiya has a brush and it’s great for attaching small parts as well as connecting long seams. The other thing it’s great for is melting a surface after sanding so the scratches etc soften or disappear after fettling. The revell glue has a needle applicator and is great for initial bonding of major assemblies as it is fairly precise, but also very strong.
I got back into 40k about a year ago. I was so focused on just playing the game. Being on a budget, I had to focus on getting the models I already had ready for the table. Your tips, videos, and just general positivity has made me change my focus to painting and basing. Its a blast so thanks!
Painting is more fun for me personally nowadays due to how much the rules constantly change within just a year of whatever the game's current edition will be.
It's the most stressful part for me, especially removing mold lines and the small bits of plastic left by the clippers - quite often I cut too deep and damage the mini :-(
Some models are so satisfying to put together. Others are a pain in the backside! There were some old necron dudes that drove me crazy trying to put together
Me too! Have you tried a Gundam model kit? They come precolored, so it’s basically prep work, but once your done cleaning, the kit is done! They are super enjoyable.
Can’t wait to get my hands on these models. Please show the finished product or a deep dive on a centerpiece model so I can learn and copy your techniques!
A lot of people poke fingers at the Citadel tools, but I would still highly recommend the clippers and the drill (and the water pot actually). Gone are the days of sprues flying across the room when clipping them or whiny gears drilling rough barrel holes. Both items cut like absolute butter.
This was hands down one of the best videos you’ve put out in ages. Absolutely loved it! This is why I started following back in the beginning. Please more of this format. Thank you 🙏! Cheers 🍻
This is perfect! I just got my first set of WH40K, but haven't started, since I'm trying to finish up my D&D mini backlog first. Now I know what to do for the steps I've never done before, since Bones, D&D minis are pre-assembled
Depending on the gap you can also press milliput in the gap and use a worn brush dipped in water to sculpt / smooth the area down to hide tedious gaps.
Just got back into Warhammer to relive some of my childhood and you've been by far the best channel for tutorials I also love your smiley friendly personality
I'm not even close to the level of basing skill you guys have... finished a pretty damn high quality Katakros the other day and was damn proud of myself. Then I see the work you guys put in before even touching paint to the model! Impressive and inspiring, as always!
For plastic test tamiya extra thin cement. Its the best I have found: mainly because of the packaging (there is a very thin brush (that is durable) than is very precise). It can be use to fill gap.
Fir gap filling, I'd recommend Vallejo Plastic Putty. It's pretty much the same process as you have now, except it already comes as putty, so you don't need to mess around with iso or anything. You can also easily file it after it's hardened, works great.
i zenithal highlight with first chaos black then mix in the Airbrush Vallejo grey Panzergrey Primer with some drops white Ink from the top then more white... you can not get smoother results no splatter anymore ;)
I really recommend you try out Tamiya plastic glue; the thin type that flows into recesses through *extreme* capillary action. They also come with a little brush, which ai find way easier to use than the Citadel nozzle.
Thank you for all your beginner vids. I quit warhammer before I got started ( to overwhelmed I think ). Have a starter box of sorts with a few units of chaos marines, possessed and a rhino along with 5th edition core rules and chaos codex. Thanks to youtubers like you, fan animations and lorevids I will probably give it another go this fall. Tack som fan!
Thanks emil, I was building a few sets of skitarii rangers and vanguard and I painted two to see how they would come out and I was totally bummed out by the gap in the cloak and was trying to figure out how to fix that. Your tip of "milliput and iso" was a godsent. I will definitely try that out!!
***Unclog hack for the GW plastic glue*** take a lighter and heat up the metal till you see a pop at the end and an open flame come out the top. Only thing is you have to wait a couple minutes after doing this because the heat will cause it to clog again.
Great video! I always like to know exactly how models are prepped, they might not be the most exciting videos, but they're among the most useful for sure!
a trick i learned building gunpla: dont snip the sprue close to the model, leave a few milimeters. trim with a hobby knife and sand first with 600 grit to even the surface, and 1000 grit to polish. you almost never get stress marks this way, though it is a bit more time consuming. not sure just how applicable it is to WH models due to differing materials, but it should work for just about any plastic.
I am surprised this could ever happen, but I have a tip for you! Tamiya Extra Thin will totally change your glue game, it's so much better than the GW glue, and unlike that one, will NEVER get clogged, again just due to the design. Try it out!
I was happy to see we handle our bases much the same. I build every single base for an army separate form the mini initially. Where we differ is that I will fully prime and paint the base completely separate from the model, and only glue them together after they are each painted. My mini's get stuck to the tops of Rx bottle via double sided tape similar to Miniac.
RE: Plastic Glue I really recoomend tamiya. The only downside is the brush with them can be kinda meh, but you can replace with a cheap natural hair brush. The normal and super thin are a god send.
I love Tamiya Extra Thin Cement plastic glue. Ya it has a strong smell but its wicked good im very happy with it. Just cant make a mistake with it as its such a strong glue lol So always dry fit first. Watch the build order incase some spreads out
Not going to lie, I didn't expect to be buying Warhammer again in my mid 30s but I actually want to paint again. Thanks for the motivation and the content. Genuinely appreciate the tips and tricks too. Stick at it guys!
An excellent video, Squidmar and Co. I am new to painting minis and the tips you’ve given are exactly what I need! The Milliput and iso paste is genius! It would be so good if you did a series of short “tips” videos like this. They wouldn’t need to be high production; just you and the camera and solid advice. Your videos give me confidence to try things out. Thanks, Squidmar, Lucas and Victor!
I really like the Tamiya super fine glue. You get a big ass bottle and the cap has a little brush for precise application. But since it's a thin liquid it evaporates quite quickly if you aren't kinda thick with it
This is pretty much it! I follow the same procedure, and I even enjoy it almost more than painting. For glue its Revell plastic glue for me (also because of the needle applicator. Tipp: burn it out with a lighter if it clogs..), and gap filling with milliput or vallejo's plastic putty. Maybe the only thing I do differently is check for sub assemblies if possible. Makes painting so much easier. But for the easy fit models from the starter sets its almost impossible... Thanks for sharing. Great tips for everyone!
@squidmar I've started using airbrush black primer from Vallejo with a brush for priming. It's a bit slow but the paint shrinks when it dries so it's super durable and extremely thin when it dries.
i'm 35 years old and started the hobby over 25 years ago. a huge amount of "techniques" we had to teach ourselves are now milliput and structure paint. but one thing we learned, i haven't seen till now: add a spoon of water binding glue to one cup of plaster /fast reacting). take double the water. now you can pour it onto styro and whatever without the pain of it drooling away. it even builds a valid exoskeleton. just do a thin layer or the piece could warp. lg
edit: the most foam materials don't bind with plaster (because of air). the glue stops it. it's even that tough - your angry friend "drops it accidently" onto the wall and the model lost only a bit of colour...^^
Hi! Returned to watching your video's recently and now want to pick up painting again, but really at a higher level. I would love if you picked some basic figure and make a paint along sort of video, where we go stel by step and can follow along. Keep up the great content!
When clipping things, remember to hold onto them or they can shoot off like a bullet! Also, the GW/Citadel Chaos Black spray is my favourite to work with, it is very difficult to make a major mistake, it flows so well, I feel like disarming a bomb with other sprays because of how temperamental they can be.
I prepare my minis this way, and I have to say that it takes a LONG time to get to the painting process, also after spending so much time prepping the mini I can't bring myself to not give my best, which leaves me with painting 1 space marine for 8-10 hours. It's worth noting that I paint slowly and this process could be sped up to probably 5 hours with the same result but for bigger quantities or even small squads it takes ages. Personally I would advice anyone to seriously prepare their minis and paint them to as good as possible IF those are display miniatures or an important unit, for example an HQ. If they're just troops or a cheap PVC minis for a board game don't bother that much, just reach an acceptable level. This way you can both practice quality and speed of your paintjobs and end with a good looking army / set in a reasonable amount of time.
PVC is my bane. I know they're rank and file, and probably not going to look that great regardless, but I still wind up spending way, way too long trying to clean them up.
I can’t seem to get away from sub assemblies. I see many painters fully assemble which is what I’d like to do but I figure I’d have a hell of a time reaching some of the areas. Are these painted in Subs behind the scenes?
I've had exactly the same thoughts on this video... came to the conclusion, that thos parts of the mini obviously aren't the most important ones to paint. Because. Well... they are well hidden.
For people that are planning to use the zenithal highlight to go over with transparent paint like inks, I would advice you to thin down the white ink (I like a ratio of 50/50 white ink to airbrush thinner) so the underlayer of white is smoother compared to using white strait up. Sprayer at a higher pressure also helps.
Nice video! If you haven't tried it yet I recommend trying the Tamiya Extra Thin plastic cement, with the super tiny brush applicator is like painting glue!
I just got a load of resin minis (Forge World) so I will watch this in full in slow mo so it sinks in! I Also bought Constantine Valdor, so he would be perfect for your next Fiver video challenge me thinks haha !
How do you fix the models to the base? Glue? Or pin them? Worth trying vallejo plastic putty. Comes in a tube and really easy to squeeze it into the gap and smooth over. Way easier than messing about with milliput.

Second this. Ultrathin glue for plastics from Tamiya, Mr Hobby or AMMO is really good for anything plastic related, not just tanks and planes!
Yeah the Extra-thin version is awesome plastic glue
I am a beginner as well, and wanting to try out the suggestion of Brent from Goober i tried the Tamiya model glue too. Totally worthy purchase, the little brush makes it so easy and pleasant to apply the glue. A bit extra care should be used since the brush doesn't allow the same degree of control of the citadel long thin output, but i find out that i prefer having the glue laid in layers rather than in drops.

To add onto this you can use Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner as cheaper substitute for Extra Thin. It has almost the same ingredients

Love this type of down to earth videos
Tip, I put the spray can in warm water, for 5 to 10 min or so. It makes the paint even thinner, when base coating the miniatures
When clipping things, remember to hold onto them or they can shoot off like a bullet! Also, the GW/Citadel Chaos Black spray is my favourite to work with, it is very difficult to make a major mistake, it flows so well, I feel like disarming a bomb with other sprays because of how temperamental they can be.
Perfect timing i ordered my first set just the other day :)
you should take a look at revell's plastic cement.
Tip for using Citadel plastic glue: if your metal tube gets clogged with glue, just heat it up with a lighter and it will clear up the clog.

Worth trying vallejo plastic putty. Comes in a tube and really easy to squeeze it into the gap and smooth over. Way easier than messing about with milliput.
