Great article Mike!
Even in this era of ready-to-run everything, there is still a need to kitbash stuff, plus it's just plain fun too! I particularly liked using the finishing nails on the frame splice. I'ts like a dowel joint (I'm a woodworker) in furniture building. Mike mentions using Cypox glue, and I noticed he sells it on his on-line store. I'd like to hear more about it and why he uses it vs ACC. I use ACC, but find it's bonding capabilities to be limited, so I'm interested in a better glue.

Cypox seems to have the shear strength lacking in ACC or CA or whatever. It's usable for joints that are subject to stresses.
