Rob,

Welcome to MSW.   Please do write a short intro about yourself on the new member forum.

 

Glues vary with the material to be glued.    Some folks use various types of what is commonly called carpenter's glue for wood to wood bonding,  and   epoxy for metal to metal or metal to wood.  Others prefer cyanoacrylate.

 

 What items did you have in mind to paint and what items did you have in mind to stain?

 

If you can be more specific and post some photos of your model, I am sure you will get answers from members based on personal experiences.

 

Again, welcome aboard.
