Super! Graham.Here is another wee plastic kit to be made up.The 'film' is printed on paper and a reflected image is projected! https://imgur.com/a/JWUwCpZ
I have found that though the film in the wooden projector starts off as 35mm when you peal the protective layer off it is reduced to a non-standard 24mm with the large holes used for transport.
The only trouble I have had so far is that the splicing tape has come off after I left it in a colder room. I will have to clean the ends thoroughly and re-splice as when this Covod trouble is over I want to show a young cousin how film projection works.
Brian makes a good point about the gauge of the film. I had hopes of changing the film clip every so often but the difference in size makes that impractical.
