I've sent him a Fujimi kit. Job done, depending on the vagaries of the Argentine postal system.

For all the $$$ in that Have Glass finish they sure look tatty....... What? If you wash them, the 'magic' rinses off??

Aalene Ultimate Multi Surface works great for adhesive. Dries clear, and will not fog. Also consider a BONDIC/5-MinuteFix type UV-curing plastic bonder; the stuff again dries clear, and sets off when you tell it to, via UV-LED in the applicator. The entire fuselage is vac-form here, and it was assembled with superglue. The plastic was coated with Future before joining, so no fogging. Mask canopy framing with low-tack tape like Tamiya or 3M, so there is less stress on the joins when unmasking. Parafilm is good too, but can be pricey.

Great stuff - thanks for passing this along. Loads of other cool e-books in the collection. Nice to get some of my tax dollars back in the form of quality geek-reading. ;-)

My missus had an old-ish Win7 laptop that was really, really, slow. Like you, I tried all the built-in diagnostic and repair programs, pretty much to no avail. There wasn't anything wrong with it, and all anti-virus and anti-malware sweeps showed clean. We put Win10 on it, and it was instantly transformed into a speedster. In a case like this (i.e. nothing to lose) I would recommend it. Only CCleaner quit working as incompatible, and the VPN software needed a newer version, otherwise it was a winning decision.

Oh yes, that is top shelf whiffery, well done!!!

Sweet!! -
The only thing I can think of are the 1/100th sci-fi figures for the "Master Grade" Gundam kits. Wave, from Japan, has a set called "Mobile Staff" that includes some seated mecha drivers. Maybe a request in the sci-fi forum could get you some left-overs or castaways?

SHQ figures are okay, but the photo is washed out and does not do the casting any favors. The problem is that SHQ sculpts tend to be a little squat, fat, and cartoonish. They're great for wargaming, but will look like pygmy warriors next to a 1/72nd scale model.
