    I’m not sure of the name of the glue, but my mate is one for doing a job properly!…

    The liquid is a proper “plastic weld” type cement, intended for plastics, and comes in a bottle similar

    to nail polish.

    The donor “cars”, plural, NOT singular!… They came from his collection of Hotwheels/Matchbox cars ( a little

    more than 200, in total…) The wheelie bar on it is different from the one I saw him fit originally… Although I

    like this one better too…

    Yes, it was a Kodak, a DC290…

    Cheers…

    Lou

    PS – I’ll call shortly for the other car…

    Wh0o0o0o! Nice work

    A couple of quick question for you/your friend, if I may:

    • What type/brand of glue did he use? I’m assuming it was just some sort of modelling cement? Note: The one glue that you should avoid, I’m told, is “Superglue” (and variants). It’s not particularly flexible and more critically, it has a tendency to’eat’ intothe plastic – making it very thin and brittle.

    • What was the “donor” car? Just looking at the parachute pods and wheelie bar, they are almost perfectly to scale!

    • What sort of cam were the photos taken with? I’m guessing somesort of Kodak based on the file names.EXCELLENT depth of field in macro modefor a digicam.

      Anyway – thanks to you and your mate for the contribution. We’ll get the images added to the “MicroPix” section….ermmm…..as soon as we get it working
      Cheers
