I built 2 and the carrier.

I didnt use any pins or anything fancy, id probs do more damage 
than good ;)

I used fast setting araldite (?sp) and they've been fine for 2 years
carried around to various gaming venues etc, never had a problem, you 
do need a big stang tho.

Some time ago I picked up a Tegethoff dreadnought (geohex blister),
and I am finally thinking about putting it together.
I am a bit worried about the thing staying together though.

The rear engine part should not be a problem as the two parts enclose
a large part of the central hull. At the front things seem to be a bit
more vulnerable. There is a only a tiny piece of metal sticking out of
the central hull which is to be inserted in a tiny hole in the frontal
hull box. I'll need to file things a bit to get as much surface area
between the front hull and the central hull for gluing, but I suspect
this won't be enough to hold things together. Pins are probably in
order here.

So, any suggestions to make this model bombproof are welcome.

P.S. I have looked in the archives, but couldn't find anything on this.
