Good look and keep the pics comin, its nice to see others pictures to compare :) Instead of loctite try corwall model boats, they have a thick superglue which is way way way cheaper than loctite i.e. at the weekend I was in homebase the price was around £4.00 for 3g of loctite, CMB is around £2.60 for probably 10 times that, if not more, it's not quite gel but is not too runny. Don't be put off by the model boat name, they have other good stuff including tools, and various ABS/superglues. Come on you Jimmies

Nightmare on todays build, must of put to much pressure on screw and it threaded itself and the head came of. Luckily the remianing part of screw was poking out abit to get some nail clipper on end of it and unscrew it. Used other screw but that wasnt a spare was it? its to be used for opposite side? Ill need to buy some spare screws i think.
