Semroc Goblin Build Part 3 Gluing Rings & Blocks

Instead of running a line of glue around the engine mount tube and sliding the rings in place on the glue -
The Semroc instructions have you place the centering rings, then add the glue. Semroc gets it right again!

This insures the rings are at the correct placement instead of laying down the glue and trying to get the ring on the mark before the glue sets up.

I like to take it one step further.

The rings are set next to the measured pencil lines.

Small drops of thin CA glue are applied at the joint to lock the ring.

Don't use much glue, you are simply tacking the rings in place before adding the white glue fillets.

Instead of just pressing the engine block into the top of the engine mount tube, use something flat like a square block of wood or as in the picture, the flat side of a sanding block.

This insures the engine block is flush with the top of the engine mount tube.






After the engine block glue is dry, sand the top square, over both the top of the engine mount tube and engine block.
