Hello everyone!
So I've got a 3-stall engine shed which has the walls erected but no roof. I want to expand it with some more engine sheds so I need to remove one of the walls.
What is the best way to do it?
Thanks! |

Hi Eric,
Having bashed many plastic kits and plastic buildings, the best way is to simply prise them apart. Very often, if the glue was used sparingly, it will make a surpprisingly clean break along the original divides.
You can always soften the joint first with some of the wife's or daughter's nail polish remover, or some liquid plastic glue, or solvent like acetone.

As Kimball says you can usually just prise it apart. I have also used a Dremel with the cutting disc attached.

I have found that if you stick them in the freezer for a bit, the glue joint will break easier. I've used this for dismantling old car models.
