I'm working on a #diorama that my #ModelRailroad club will show off at train shows.

Because it will travel, everything on it needs to be sturdy and able to be handled. However, because I will need to do maintenance on it, I'll need to be able to remove buildings and whatnot to access the internals.

My thought is that I would use hot glue for the parts I'm still working on, but my worry is that when the module is being stored in the club trailer the glue will soften and melt.

Anyone have any ideas?

@EnglishMobster Small Lego bricks attached to the inside of buildings and to the base so that the buildings snap on. Lego is polystyrene so regular glue works.

@KevinGuthrie @EnglishMobster This Lego trick is a super-great idea that I'm going to use too for my dioramas (Thanks for the tip). There are stores that sell used Lego parts, so you can go there, dig through the boxes looking for the pieces you might need.

@KevinGuthrie @EnglishMobster Magnets could do the trick too.
