Good morning.
I am sorry if this is not the best forum for this model, but neither 'automotive' nor 'watercraft' seemed a very good fit, either. Please feel free to move it if there is a better fit. I've also done a simple thread search but did not seem to find anything to help me.
We are attempting to build a wood & metal, 1/12 scale cowboy chuckwagon, from Model Trailways. The manufacturer recommends types of glues and paints, but for obvious reasons, doesn't mention specific brands. Also, we're new to this type of model (having built dozens of WWII era vehicles as a kid). What I'm asking is if you all have recommendations for some of the basic tools to acquire, what glues to use, and what sort of paint works best with what are mostly basswood parts.
I'm certain that you'll have a lot of specific questions before you can give good advice. Please ask them and I'll get back to you ASAP.
Thank you for your time.
