On the workbench: Star Frontiers ships

I have some of my recently acquired Star Frontiers ships based and ready for primer--a destroyer, a frigate, a freighter, and two scouts:

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.
