If the plastic is what I think it is, Goop which has been mentioned works
well, and I have been told that Hot Stuff Super "T" CA glue will work.
Apparently the plastic is a form of nylon, and regular CA glue won't work. As
for paint, our local hobbyist suggested Ral Partha paint. When I looked at him
skeptically, he pulled out some BattleTech figs made from this plastic that he
had painted. I was surprised, it didn't flake off. But this paint will cost
you (of course).
I've got some small spaceships that I picked-up at a local video arcade
[Aladdin's for Metro-Milwaukee, Wis. FT-ers]. They are made of the kind
of plastic used in making army men, dinosaurs, etc... the kind you get 30 to a
bag for a cheap price. I guess you'ed call them Marx-type, but the
plastic
seems greasier/lighter.
I know most glues and paints don't work on them. Any suggestions?

The stuff you want is called Goop. I have both normal Goop and Crafter's Goop
(which is supposed to be specifically for arts and crafts). You can get it at
Home Depot and probably other hardware stores. This stuff is the only thing
I've found that glues light plastic figures, and KEEPS them glued.

Wash them in a detergent solution to get rid of mould release stuff then try
priming with auto primer. Thet used to work for my plastic stuff.
