I bought some faces.  How do I attach the jewel into the faces?  Glue ?

You can use a plastic glue or a polymer glue. I use a glue gun to fix the jewels

These are orange

i've always thought needle tips flourescent red.  i use testor's red flourescent model paint.

It's fluorescent indeed. I use modelling paint from Revell matt 25

I replaced a cracked lens on one of my gauges.  I tried to get it loose, but it would not budge, very strong glue.  I wound up breaking out the lens down to the rim.  Then used a cutter in my drill press to grind out the edge of the lens.  The sucker fought to the end, would not budge thill I cut out every little piece.  New one glued in very easily.
