Back on the sidetrack, David resumes construction of the drivers, plus the horses and mules used to pull the various wagons and carts he’ll place into his On30 layout scenes. Initial efforts in this episode involve the basic material prep and assembly of all the white metal parts and pieces in the selected kits. By the end, all of the king’s horses (mule teams too) and all of the king’s men (drivers) will stand ready to paint in the next video. Giddy up!

I never fail to discover something when I watch your videos. For years I have been assembling white metal kits with CA and have always had a problem with getting the glue to set up. I had been using spray accelerator which is virtually impossible to control, now I learn that you can get accelerator in a bottle that can be accurately applied with a mini brush! Many thanks.
Hello Mark,
So, white metal kits were a lot more challenging before CA. I asked around a bit, and the answers I got were Walther’s Goo, Ambroid Cement, and 2-part epoxy. All had their challenges, and none were ideal. Probably my biggest piece of advice for gluing white metal parts with CA is to make sure they are washed and dried before assembly. CA will hold the best if all oils and mold release powders are cleaned from the parts. Best wishes on your endeavors! – David
Really enjoying this series. Anxious to see your final painting process, I would have thought painting the animals before attaching the “rigging” was the way to go, but I’m sure you’ll show me the Better Way!
David, What did modelers use to glue together White Metal parts before CA?
