[QUOTE="Leemcl, post: 357118, member: 6474"] I am in need of some restoration tips for an Obi Wan Figure Long story short, I have found an old Obi Wan from my childhood toys, that while in poor shape is mine from when I was a kid & I fancy trying to restore it, but I am not sure how possible it will be... The first ( Major issue ) is it's missing the right hand, which holds the saber- how do I go about swapping an arm over from another of my "beater" figures. The second issue...the very white hair is faded with the flesh tones showing through...what paint do I use to best match the original white ? 3) the black paint is rubbed..as with white hair what's the best black to use to repair ? Finally...what's the best way to bring some life back to the brown body ? Is it best to just clean up as best as possible. Thanks in advance for your help Lee [/QUOTE]
