                        Nope, I haven't gotten it yet.  Looks pretty good though.  Good luck with it.

                        Thanks Arty.

                        BTW, have you done the Airmodel  M198 yet?  That is my next 'big' project.  A fully emplaced and firing gun section, complete works.

                        Best bet is good old Elemr's white glue.  Put down a liberal amount, then place the patch and put a book or something else flat and heavy on it till it dries.  CA will not stick well to the wood.  The 3M spray adhesive isn't good either.  It is meant for papers, not wood and fabric.  The Elmer's is the best all-around glue.

                        Adhesive for base + Unit Patch?

                        What adhesive/approach do you guys take with affixing a unit patch to a diorama base (the 'plaque' board base)?

                        I have considered glue, but I am not sure the best glue to use.  The unit patch has a waxy back, presumably for ironing it to the uniform.  So I am not sure if CA glue will adhere to the varnished wood and then that?  Basic wood/Elmer's glue?  An ultra glue sort of brand that is used for everything?

                        Suggestions? 

                        EDIT:  I am thinking that 3M's spray adhesive will work.
