I actually used pinheads. Drilled small holes with a pinvise, put the pin through and glued it, then cut off the bit inside.

If i was to do it again though, i wouldn't do it that way. Externally it looks fine, but inside even with the pins cut, theres lots of sharp bits and i cut myself many times, and it can scratch parts when putting the body on.

Now i'd probably just use some round head resin rivets. Not as cheap as a pack of pins, but neater internally.

Thanks for the information bob, can I ask what’s the best glue to stick the body back together, I’m planning on cutting my sleeper down so I’d like to know what the best stuff to use would be, I was thinking loctite superglue?

Thanks James
