I've been using good quality printing plus poor quality glue, with that in

I'll give it a try. Control levers seem the most likely solution. (And a
pipe band would make a nice change from the brass band).

I've still got a few more of those old tyres around, but I'm running
seriously short on other headgear now (hence the sock hats of the engineers)

the arrival of 7409 et al for top hats, and have purchased some black
sculpey for some dark side experimentation too.
