back to modeling and especially to the dark side!

Wow! you mean that happened just from looking at it??? Imagine what would have happened if you'd actually picked it up! lol
Eric is an expert on this stuff. A couple of things I'd add, though:
Rough up the plastic a little at the spot where you're going to attach the pe. It helps give the glue a little "tooth".
Also, make sure your resin or pe is clean before you try to glue it on. And, use fresh super glue! I keep letting mine sit too long on the shelf. I can tell when it's too old because parts just don't stick well. I usually wind up gluing my fingers together before I can get a part to stick where I want it.
Make sure you have either some super glue debonder acetone type fingernail polish remover close at hand. Both for your fingers as well as "over glues".
Again, welcome;
