New addition time. I've had a 5 day stay in hospital recently and am off work for.a few weeks so haven't been up to much. This arrived today and was a nice break and soothing for the mind :lol:

Rare ESB Hammerhead card. Not exactly amazing condition but good enough for me.to.work on. Really happy with this one. Just started on a Lobot but need the nameplate for.that.

Another great job, you've saved another one, well done.
Sory to hear of you ill health, get well soon.

Yes, get well soon, and thanks for sharing more of your impressive work

Two more on the worktop tonight. Need to get a Tie pilot card before I can fix it. Price tag was covering up a tear on the card so a bit pissed off about that. Working on Ben now.

These are superb Lee and it's great to see you posting again so frequently. Looks like you've got your collecting mojo back!

Finished them today. Found a new way of going the nametag. Very time consuming but I'd rather do this than cut a decent cardback up. Used a bit of artistic licence and moved the price tag on Obi Wan to cover up the slice from the side of the card to remove the nametag.

They look great, congratulations

If you've not cut up another cardback, did you print your own replacement name plate for Obi-Wan and picture piece for the TIE Pilot?

Thanks chaps.

SB, yes mate the Ben nameplate has been printed by myself. I print it on a normal printer and then place it behind a strip of clear tape so it gives it the little sheen it needs. I dont do the backs of the cards nameplate because they are for display only.I fill space with plain card and then build it on top from there. The Tie Pilot piece came from a battered card where which is missing the top half.

Here's my first attempt, really happy of how it's worked out, enjoyed putting it back together. The only problem is now I need another loose EV-9D9. :lol:

Excellent job buddy. That is nicely done as the Tri cardstock is a bit harder to work with.

I'm.in the same boat with figures, I have doubles of most but still need to pick up others that I've used for recards

Nicely done and as Lee said these Tri Logos are a bit tougher to fix up so top marks!

Ian

This is a superb thread. Some great work done here chaps.

A very nice addition thanks to my buddy Ian. I purchased 2 reseals from Ian last July and I decided to do a 12 back Palitoy set as my last goal. Thanks to Ian and a 1 or 2 eBay buys I'm now only 1 away - so come on Vader where are you????
