Thanks for the tips guys. Once I buy some paint and have my friend paint them up I'll get pictures of them up online.
I would recommend getting a Pin Vise and learning to pin. You basically drill a little hole in both the pieces you're about to glue together, and then stick a small piece of wire into the holes to add a little bit of structural integrity. It's easy to do, takes a couple of minutes, but it really helps keep the mini together, especially in case it falls. For most 'mechs you can use a 1mm drill bit and then paperclips cut to length for the wire.
Failing that, get a craft knife/scalpel and score the joins before you glue them together, it'll help the glue bond.
