An update
Well I'm back at the modelling bench after recovering from the flu like symptoms that the super glue left me with.
Here's some progress on my Challenger 2!
The Dozer blade
The Dozer from the rear
and from the side
The lower hull in the process of being painted
The upper hull in the process of being painted
The running gear
I'm sory about the quality of the pics I'm still a bit shakey

Hi Sean
The fit is good. Well I havn't had any problems so far! The Dozer assembly is very nice!

Must admit I'm kind of scared of doing 1/72 Armour ... but never know I might give one a go in the near future

Hi and thank you Andy
Well I was using the CA in a well ventilated room. But I ended up with a really runny nose and streaming eyes. This is the first time that CA has had this effect on me! And I went to see the doctor and he said CA can desensitse some people. Which is why I had to put my Rhino build on hold.

Yep, sounds exactly like you've been sensititsed to it. You gotta be careful from now on, just being in the same room as someone using it could set you off again.
Hi Nev
I want to use CA glue, as I have to finish my "Rhino" and few other Resin kits. But if this keeps happening to me everytime I use it what do I do?

Hi Daz
It'll more than likely be a pain in the balls but you could use Araldite Rapid (on the model, not your balls).
Thanx Dave!
I'll give that a try.
I'll give that a try.

Or you could get a respirator with a fume cartridge? You'll look a bit of a tit modelling in it, but it's better than not being able to use CA... I'd be lost without my couple of bottles
Ok Mike.
Thanx i'll have to invest in one!

Well this is how the running gear looks at the moment.
I'm currently working on the upper hull and turret too!
Regards Daz
There will be an update soon I promise

Only thing is, you can be sensitised more than one way, not just through inhalation. Daz said his eyes were streaming, that *could* be a result of inhalation, or it could be the fumes getting directly in his eyes.
The other thing is that once you're sensitised, it only takes a tiny amount of the offending chemical to trigger the reaction in you, so even if you've finished working with the CA, take your mask off, if there are any CA molecules lingering in the room they are likely to trigger the adverse reaction again.
Best solution IMO is to find a different adhesive to use - eg Araldite like someone suggested.
She's looking good Daz
Thanx Sean
She ain't looking too bad I suppose mate

Mind you the Fit on your one is a lot better than the 1/35 offering
Thanx Sean
It's appreciated.

Well guys.
Building of the Chally 2 has stalled while I wait for paint. I'm hoping (if my brother let's me) to get to Hannants Colindale shop to get the paint I need. Then I begin finishing the build, and start something else.

Hi Sean
I'm thinking of building something Allied from WW2. And here's a clue it's probably the most mass produced U.S. Tank of WW2.
Regards Daz
P.S. So I might get to meet you in Hannants mate?

Well guys the Chally 2 is progressing well. I've managed to put the decals on. It's been varnished ready to be weathered.
. I'm also thinking about adding some stowage to bring it to "life" a bit. I'm hoping to get it finished today or tonight.
Then move on to something else.
