I am tired of my lego sculptures being knocked to the floor by the antics of
my rambuctious sons. My 1:1 scale Miniland reproduction figure
(http://www.actionbrick.com/Lego/Maxifig.asp) has fallen a number of times,
and it is not easy to rebuild! :)
Instead of placing them in a cabinet, I would like to glue them together
(the sculptures, not the sons!)
Years back, I've used the Oatey PVC & ABS cements on my Lego globe, but I
want something more precise than the
"dip-the-giant-blob-on-a-stick-into-the-goo-in-the-can" applicator.
Has anyone made a system similar to the one I've seen in LLCA model-shop
photos? It consists of a clear MEK-filled "IV" bag, hoisted into the air,
which gravity feeds a small handheld trigger gun through small diameter tubing.
Does anyone know where I could get/make/construct the handheld gun? Has
anyone attempted construction of such a device?

There are also several dispenser manufacturers around for pneumatically acuated syringe dispensers. Again, these are industrial products... (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
