I made a small car using the components from a Solar Butterfly garden ornament a few days back. Today I use a different brand Solar Dragonfly and use a cheap toy car as the donor for the chassis and wheels. The gears come from a cheap dynamo torch. The plastic bushes I use for the bearings come from a VHS video cassette. As usual everything is stuck together with hot glue.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
