Citadel-Whoda Thunk?

Some of you are familiar with the name.

Well, the reason for this is a comment on the Citadel Glue for Plastic! I got some of it when I bought the " Age of Silmar" set with the floating, kinda steampunk looking stuff. Of course I used my trusty TamiyaGreen Top liquid to assemble the things. Now that said. Here we are a year and a half later and I find a weird building set at the Train Show. And the other part was somewhere else.

I was able to figure out they belonged together and bought the whole mess for $7.00. Now here is what it was. A German Car Wasche and Auto Parts store in H.O.! The thing was impossibly CUTE! Even to the Fifties style “ESSO” signage. For the States they just had Fuel! But I remember My dad pulling into the local ESSO station and telling the guy to please check the oil and Fill-er Up with Ethyl!

Anyway, Sorry got off track there. This little full bottle of glue falls of the cabinet into my lap! “Oh! Says I " Citadel Glue” I think I will try it. The stuff is the consistancy of a thinner tube glue. But My gosh it sticks fast! And with the Needle applicator it is easy to use. I gotta get more! Now here’s a teaser have you ever heard of “Faller Products Glue”? I will comment on it when I use it. Another needle applicator bottle too!

No, but of course Faller is familiar to all HO pike presidents, Marklin preffered but hey we could all tolerate a german 17th century house or two in a midwest town.

Citadel is the hobby supply brand name of Games Workshop, a tabletop game maker from the UK.

I have quite a fair number of the Lord of the Rings releases and invested more than I care to think on their acrylic paints. Most of which dried out before use due to the paint pot being a flip top lid with a questionable seal.

For a while I swore they had the best metallic paints, I was using Boltgun Blaster for a steel paint, but have since found alternatives at a lower price.

Never tried their glue though.

Oh Bill!

They do some other American looking stuff too. I like their apartment houses and shops. I have one of their Privately Owned “Machine Shop” kits and it is awesome. Big windows facing the street, so you can see the figures working at their machines which are a Lathe,Band Saw, Welder, and some wood working stuff on the back wall. Owner’s house next door.
