Fixing the Rocket pod to the Left Gaunt ...

[Nocturne]

Do you guys just glue your rocket onto the gaunt?
My rocket is Resin (and painted) and my Gauntlets are Fibreglass.

I'm concerned that glueing isn't gonna be strong enough.
Would I be better off drilling the rocket pod and running some pins between gaunt and rocket as well as the glue?

i drilled into the resin rocket and put 2 rivets in, one near each end. this is a sort of risky way to do it, since the rivet could, in theory, crack the rocket. i figured that i could always glue it back together if i needed to.

What I did was drill out two holes in my rocket and JB Weld in some screws so they were pointing down. Then I drill two holes in my gaunt to match and bolted them together.

Which brings me to another question - JB Weld.
Anyone know where I can get it in the UK - or does Araldite do as good a job?

(I like the screw Idea! - I have a few nuts and bolts left from fixing my shoulder studs)

Pretty much anything that hardens into a plastic-like substance will do the trick. an epoxy resin, or something even.

Cheers guys.
I went with the nut/bolt idea (and araldite'd the nut into the rocket pod)
It worked so well I did the same for my flame thrower.

just screwed through the gaunt right into the rocket, with some kit inbetween.. aint going anywhere...

Here is the basic idea:
