Edgardo, the tubes are overlapped, with fairly narrow tabs. At this size (about 2mm diameter) I am nowhere near skilful enough to use joining strips or edge gluing. I just roll them tightly around the former, and slip glue under the edge on the side of a knife blade, a little at a time. Fortunately nearly all of the joins can be hidden quite effectively.

Yay! Make sure you find a single-cylinder one, not one of those new-fangled V twins. Now to find a player small enough to fit inside!

Volker - I have been following your 1:1 chopper on kartonbau.de. It is a great project. Do you think I can downscale it to 1:14?
