Pics throughout would be good as well, although I'm unsure about how safe PVA would be.

PVA is a water based glue, so if it gets damp/wet they can revert to something similar to when it came out of the pot.
You might end up having to use a clear varnish or similar.

If you do a step-by-step photo diary of your next creation we'll put it up in the d.i.y section.
