[QUOTE="tigerham, post: 480918, member: 2045"] Hi all, I thought I would do something special for my last MOC purchase for a while as concentrating on other things. I got this ESB Power Droid in the hope I could make it right. When I received it the residue/sticker paper was a lot tougher than I had thought but I persisted and slowly but surely it came away. Result. Then I decided to make a custom flattening press out of MDF pieces I had left from the cabinet with a cut-out the right size for the bubble just so it holds the edge of the bubble down. I did the same for one piece of flat smooth white card to protect the card against the MDF. And now it's good night MOC for a week or two and I'll check the result. :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="s-l16004.jpg"]41796._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4835.JPG"]41797._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4837.JPG"]41798._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4838.JPG"]41799._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4839.JPG"]41800._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
