I've often wondered what glue they use.  This is because there are so many joints you would have to wait while one stick was drying before attaching the next one.  :whistle

PVA Ken in small amounts all flat panels are put together on a 5mm perspex panel and Len said they never stick to it,
the curves are assembled on pre-shaped cornflakes boxes with cling wrap over it .
