Unfortunately, it has fallen a bit into oblivion over the years and drowned among all new designs that come with all new modern materials.

HMG (Hot melt glue) Ant.

An experiment with materials. 

Body and legs of hot melt adhesives.

Small pieces cut from glue sticks heated to the hook with a lighter and then formed by twisting and turning the hook while glue hardens as it does in about 30 seconds.

The legs are a little tougher to get hang on. 

Small, tiny beads of hot melt melted on a dubbingnål or similar then attached to the body of hot melt glue, pulled out and kept in possition while it solidifies.
