iko 62210 Rio Grande Water Tower Kit
well nico i agree with swmbo-have to wait for the big day
might i suggest,
altho i dont know UK products per se
i use a very nice, viscous and clear fabric glue for buildings-the kind meant for seams and badges and applique
here in the US the product is clear, flexible and realtively waterproof
i use it (along with POLA cement sometimes) because it allows for knocks and changes in temp
i move my structures in and out of the house and change from US to euro -ie they get handled a bit
and even with careful handling occasionally they get bumped somehow
this type of glue is great on protruding things that get bumped
wall clocks , telephone antennas, lightning points, gates etc
-they give enough not to snap
and
while there is about a 20-30 second set up time, it allows gluing and final positioning , squaring of walls roofs etc
and finally,
although a very tough and sturdy bond
with constant pressure, it will stretch and then let go -not to say that is soft -or that your buildings will flop about-not at all-just less rigid than a styrene type joint-still very stiff
but with a steady and very very firm pull, you can slowly separate and reglue , etc
and you can actually peel it off or scrape for a new clean surface for re-gluing
(which often needs to be done even with melting styrene glues after a while)
the US product i use is called 'quick grip' but id imagine that there is a similar UK product
