Some parts are soldered together. This is by far the most secure way but risky - the white metal melts very suddenly and small parts can disappear into a puddle!
The safer way is to super glue them. Make sure everything is scrupulously clean (new castings carry residue from the rubber moulds) and remove any paint from the glueing surfaces. Zap make a thick (yellow label) super glue and an activator /accelerator to make it set.
For any tiny parts that fit into drilled holes (door handles etc) use clear-drying PVA.

Many thanks Peter. I had a look on the ZAP site and found what you are recommending. Apparently they call accelerator a 'kicker'. Never realised there are so many different superglues!
