Any advice on how to prepare resin models, what kind of glue to use, things to
look out for? I've got a couple of M38Ds to prep for the debut of my OUDF
unit.

They're our (Geo-Hex) urethane?  Then wash 'em in warm soapy water,
sand and/or file the surfaces to be glued (This helps the glue to
grab), and use thick superglue gel or two part epoxy (recommended!) to glue
the model together. I pin wheels and other small parts, including pewter guns,
although I don't glue the guns in place since it then allows me to rotate them
and store them separately and that cuts down on repairs.
