Thank you all for you responses!

You were all right on the nose for solutions to the issues I was having.  The process went much smoother once I washed the minis with a warm soapy water and used new glue rather than 10 year old glue (imagine that). I also found pinning the models along with a little green stuff to be very effective to combat my fumbling fingers and get the models in just the right pose I wanted them in.

Pan Oceania is fully assembled; Nomads washed and getting prepped for assembly.  Now I get to figure out how to paint these tiny little guys/gals .  Should be...interesting... (I might have to play a game or two before I actually start trying to paint).

Thanks again,

Jim

Hello,

I just bought the Operation: Ice Storm box and now am attempting to assemble the miniatures.  Yikes!  It's been a long long long time since I assembled miniatures (since WH 40k 3rd Ed), so I'm basically a beginner.  The trouble I'm having is getting the metal miniatures and the glue to cooperate.  I'm using some older Zap-A-Gap glue which I place a small dab on the body of the miniature and then hold the appendage to the designated area, wait to a count of 30-40 and .... well, no luck (unless my goal is to affix my finger to metal ).  I've also attempted to use the "Green Stuff"(?) to help hold the bond, but that also isn't working very well.

Any suggestions on why I'm having such problems?  Do I need to hold the two gluing parts together longer?  The Zap-A-Gap does work (I kept it in the freezer), but maybe it gets old?  Any advice on basic technics of assembling Infinity models is greatly appreciated?

Thank you!

Jim
