    Cause Ive wanted to be a modder for a long time but was just too lazy to commit to it.

    Great mockup sketch Crimson and thanks for mentioning sketchup in one of your posts.
    I got it and am having a great time learning to use it!
    It really helps you to visualize what you are trying to do.
    I am trying to find a vendor that sells 0.125 thick styrene in smaller sheets I really don't need a 4x8 sheet and can't imagine what the shipping would be does anyone know if Hobby Lobby carries this?

    OK ordering parts but when it comes to the glue I'm stuck. lol

    Crimson said to use ZAP! medium thickness superglue and accelerator spray.

    Well I have come up on dozens of zap glues this is the one I think he means please correct me if I am wrong as I do not want to order the wrong thing.

    SHEET ZAP
    VERY HIGH VISCOSITY FORMULA
    SUPER EXTRA THICK
    ALLOWS PART POSITIONING FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 SECONDS
    CURES IN 90 SECONDS
    USE ZIP KICKER TO ACCELERATE CURE TIME

    Uses:

    SHEET ZAP Is a specialty CA adhesive developed specifically for the hobby industry. The thick formula (somewhere between SLO ZAP and ZAP GEL) and slow cure time are perfect for sheeting wings or planking fuselages. Boat modelers will like this glue too. The thicker formula allows you to apply a thin bead right on top of ribs or formers as small as 1/16 inch thick without running over the edges. The slow cure time means you can apply it over the entire wing or fuselage section and have plenty of time to position the sheeting. This is a specialty glue and mostly used in modeling, wood working, antique furniture repair shops will like the extra working time.



    Or should I get:

    Plasti-ZAP CA++
    MEDIUM VISCOSITY FORMULA
    CURES CLEAN AND CLEAR
    WILL NOT ATACK PAINT
    WORKS ON MOST PLASTIC AND VINYL
    NON-FLAMMABLE
    NON-SNIFFABLE


    Uses:

    PLASTI ZAP CA++ Is a specialty CA adhesive developed for use on plastic and vinyl items. Most plastic modeling projects can be assembled with PLASTI ZAP CA++ and very small amounts of ZIP KICKER.The special formula in PLASTI ZAP CA++ allows it to screen out any mold release agents resulting in a permanent bond in 15 to 30 seconds.The joint can be filed and sanded in a minute or so, allowing extra fast assembly.

    Helpful Hints:

    Apply small drops of PLASTI ZAP CA++ to one surface only then mate the parts.For large or long seams apply small drops 1/4 to 1/2 inches apart, one side only, along the entire seam, then join parts. Be careful to keep your fingers away from the glued joints until cured, this glue will bond your skin instantly to your model.For bonding chrome parts, scrape the chrome off of the bonding areas then apply the glue to one side only.If you want to use ZIP KICKER, apply very small amounts with a fine brush or tooth pick.You do not need to apply kicker to the entire joint.For critical applications test sample joints for designed strength requirements.

    If anyone can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it oh and by the way I will be working with styrene.

    Thanks
    Charles

    I would like to show off my first time using sketchup!
    I hope these pictures of the linear actuator in differant stages of assembly will help anyone else who may want to build one of these.































































    Thank you for letting me share these.
    Sketchup is one nice little program but I do wish the X Y Z axis control was easier.

    First time using sketchup... ha. I don't believe it.

    Those are some great models you've made. As for the Zap glue, really any poylstyrene solvent glue will work, Zap is just a good brand name. The first one sounds easy to use imho. I personally just use pure methylene chloride to glue polystyrene.
