Have observed this project since the beginning. High hopes for doing so more in the coming year. When you're in the forums, look behind you, because that's where the project observer's going to be!

How is it reacting to adhesives, putty and or paints? (I have hoarded a number of items from computers to use on ships and right now I'm ...

I think it's time we had a sticky here in the scratchbuilding sub-forum with something like the following, (and correct me if I'm still wrong on some of these) Type #1: "PETE or PET, is Polyethylene terephthalate. At least some of it can be glued with CA and epoxy, primed with Mr. Surfacer then...

I've seen people glue a thin styrene veneer to itself over un-gluable, un paintable plastic, sometimes with a mechanical such as a screw anchoring it.
