Dragon Diorama, what type of glue, if any?

I have both the landing craft diorama and one of the King Tiger Dioramas. I would like to assemble them and I am wondering about what type of glue to use, if any.
Thanks,
Eric

I also have the LCM diorama.

I used ZAP A GAP. It is a thick super glue, although any super glue would probably be ok. Along with this I also use Zip Kicker which is an accelerator for super glues. This pretty much cures the glue instantly.

Your going to need glue to keep the "running" figures standing along with mounting the flag pole to the cabin.

I also posted this on the other forum..

If you are wanting to assemble them on a temporary basis I would suggest elmers white glue.. If you are wanting to assemble them permenently, then you could use CA glue (Superglue) or probably also use plastic model glue..

I have a Tacky Glue that I actually (try) to sell which you could use to place people /things in the diorama, move them about or replace them. I've been using it on 1/285 micro-armor and it lasts for months, dries clear and works great, remains tacky.
