Nice to see the new Brute Squad taking up the reins and teaching some etiquette (sp?) Anyway keep up the good work. :D

I liked the bow before it broke and it has become a tragic figure in the world of customization. BTW Legolas, what did you use for the string? I have been mulling with the idea of "borrowing" your idea, but I can't place what the string material would be.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Looks like a paper clip to me.

That is correct. He either mentioned this in another thread or when I was talking to him online... I can't remember.

I have one word for all your glueing problems: Epoxy!

Superglue only holds pulling ditectly apart, it has very little strength when you slide or twist the two parts. Epoxy (not five-minute, though, that stuff's a joke), on the other hand, holds very nicely; especially if you score the two pieces. I epoxy'd (izzat a word?) the brass foil onto the spearhead in my avatar, and it's been played with pretty heavily without any harm.
