    Trust me I've got buildings that I used the "right" kind of glue for construction that look worse than that. The good news is if you accidently knocked it off the top level of a 3 tier layout and onto a concrete floor it'd probably survive. :))

    We used that stuff to glue one of our Sergeants coffee cup to the table and the lid to the coffee mug. It was worth the fun that came afterwords, he never did get the top back off.

    Looks like a small Marshmallow factory that had an explosion.

    BTW- Together with climbing vines, trees work wonders in covering up things.

    When making my niece's dollhouse there was a glue the LHS recommended called "Quick Grab" When shingling the roof it did exactly what happened to your model. I had to cut off all the shingles. I also found out from that experience, not to use "milk based" glue like "Elmer's" on certain thin woods, it warps the wood on the side you glued on.

    Look on the bright side..at least you didn't try to glue any roadbed down with the stuff! Been there, done that! LOL!!! Talk about some wavy track. Trains have nothing in common with surf boards.

    Grab the dremmel, rope off the site and build a demolition scene!

    I did.

    Hello all
    Try "formula 560" it is the best I've ever used for windows, holds good,drys clear,.
    Reslut,nice clear windows.Most hobbie shops carry it in the R.C. airplane section,I used this on an R.C. P-51,it out lasted the plane. "OPPPS!" My P-51 was two years old when I dumped in to the ground,canopy stayed on and after 2 yrars of service no yellowing.I have also used to hold the window frames in my buildings.Draw backs; it takes a few min. to sit up.
