I just won a small battle in the PE war.......
Had to bend the five rungs perpendicular and glued in place.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact I'm building the largest model I ever made with the smallest parts I've ever used.

Haha, like fractals, doesn't matter how much you zoom out, or you zoom in, the same level of pattern detail presents itself!

Thats just the first of six parts that go in there. Gonna paint each one before installing the next.
Only golf I've played is miniature golf, but I get your point.

ive had mixed results with applying already painted parts although thats the only way to go with railings.. seems the only adhesive is that gators grip kind of stuff . the CA is usually a waste of time. BTW , any issues with the wood deck veneer pulling up anywhere?

 

[kevin]

Thanks for the heads up with the CA glue.
I applied a layer of Elmer's glue first, in addition to the adhesive back of the decks. No issues so far.

that is some fancy bending!
