[Electric Coach]

Biglock,

I understand what you are talking about. When I first started customizing, some of my cuts were bad. I ruined a few figures before learning how to cut each type of figure that I had. Although they were damaged, I kept the scraps. I even kept the crumbs that came from the figures that I previously cut.

Take a look at my Akin Ayodele # 51 figure in the pictures below. This figure was one of those figures that I ruined. I cut his torso too high. He had no stomach and back. I packed the crumbs that I had from a Haiti figure in the damaged areas of #51. If you can, look at the small of his back. That is where I repaired the damage. I have a closer picture of #51’s back, but it is too large in kilobytes for this message board.

I used Elmer’s glue stick to hold the Haiti crumbs in place between the lower torso and waistline. It looked like shrapnel was protruding from his back. I then allowed the packing to dry over night. I sanded the area to a smooth finish. Painting also helps to hold everything together. He weighs in at 2.8g on a boiled rookie base.

After I refurbish these Cowboys, #51 will fall apart, but that’s ok. I might create another figure like this one, which is a combination of Reg’s Lester figure and the legs of a Haiti Repro blocker.
