think I will spray it or apply sunscreen to it, in hopes to prevent that
yellowing.  I also want the model to be semi-permanent, but not to the
extent of the Target Yoda which I understand the pieces can not be separated
without damage.  Anyway, I want it to last a long, long time, and want to
know what type of adhesive (if any would work) to use to make it a little
more durable.  I do want to be able to dismantle it one day, though.  If
anybody has good ideas for this, please let me know.  Also, please let me
know any other good tips for making the model last longer.

   Here's a thought: Elmers glue disolves in water and water won't hurt LEGO
bricks.  Test the Elmers glue on a couple bricks to make sure it doesn't harm
the LEGO bricks.
