Subject: SG: Kit-bashing Toys
The other day, while taking my nephew to buy a toy with the bottle & can
money he'd saved up, I ended up making a purchase for myself: a $1 toy
Matchbox car that had a seductively Sci-Fi look to it (the police ARV
for
anyone who cares). My thinking was that if I ever get around to getting
into SG, it might make an interesting vehicle (It's roughly in the
15-25mm
range).
I was just wondering if anyone had kit-bashed toy cars before, the
die-cast
kind, and if there were any tricks to getting the new parts to stick to
the
toy - does superglue work, or no, and if not, what? Any input would be
appreciated. I still haven't decided what I'd do with it - leave it
wheeled, or turn it into a VTOL or GEV.
