Howdy Guys,
Well, sounds like RJ if off on to the waterin' hole (pub lol). So, onto barrys question. UHU Clear is fine, although white "elmers" type glue (white glue) also works fine, some people use glue pens, others super glue gel, I have used yellow wood glue before (but its not advised unless in hidden areas).
You might even get away with a glue "stick", but I have never tried it.
And as for cardmodeling gaining popularity, from what I understand, they never lost thier popularity in the eastern block countries of Europe (behind the Iron Curtain). Apparently after wwII, resources were low and there werent alot of Plastic kits to be had and if there were, they were priced too for anyone to buy. So, card modelling was the popular way to build toys and models.
Cardmodels actually go back further than that by several hundred yrs, but I am not really up to date on the history of card modelling.
The Internet however has brought card modelling to the United States though. I know there are shops in the UK that sell and have sold cardmodels for yrs and yrs. But their popularity has really just begun to blossom here in the US. If I tried, I could probably list over 5,000 links to card model related websites. I know that sounds like a "brag", but I truly believe I could especially with the resources of the computer and sites like google.
And as for the "thank you" you so graciously extended to me, The pleasure is all mine. As I said in a previopus post, I feel like the ultimate double agent, I have been attempting to get some of you interested in cardmodelling and to possibly visit
www.cardmodels.net and at the same time, I have been trying to get my friends at
www.cardmodels.net to come here and visit. One member joined the other day that I know of for sure and he is good people.
Ok, I have rambled enough, I will have more models in the near future to share, gotta go eat.
have a good day,
Greg aka GW
