The battleship's not ready yet; it had some lead rot and I want to clean it off before I mount it. I also had some trouble with the destroyer at first--the engines had fallen off!
I needed to fix it; however, Gorilla Glue alone wouldn't do the job, so I used rods (actually parts of a paper clip I separated using wire cutters) to help hold the engines in place:
Just two rods weren't enough, so I added a third. Since this is the underside of the ship that goes permanently on a base, I'm not to worried about how it looks from below:
With this experience using glue and rods, I'm slowly gaining the courage to attempt to repair the Carnivoran battlecruiser I broke. Maybe soon ... after I base the other half-dozen frigates and scouts.

Good scratchbuilding/repair skills tnere my friend. Nice models aswell.
Thanks, AL! I'm looking forward to getting these painted. The larger ships will match the ones that I've already painted, but I may get a little creative with the color schemes for the smaller craft.
it's a nice serie of minis, with great looking! congratulation for the scratchbuilding!
