BUZZ LIGHTYEAR - Full RESTORATION of this Toy Story Action Figure

Описание: This Toy Story Buzz Lightyear action figure was given to me along with a challenge to restore and repair him back to his former glory. I’m not entirely certain of this Buzz’s back story but I believe a pair of brothers decided to customise him a bit with marker pens! Then the older brother set to work with a screwdriver and it was at this point that mum intervened and saved Buzz from a grisly end. Whichever way you look at it, he’s not in a good way and has one arm completely missing and a few other missing/broken parts. Thus Buzz was in need of a full restoration and one or two repairs.

First job was to disassemble Buzz. There were far more pieces than I had anticipated and I gave up keeping track of where everything went pretty early on in the project! I figured I would be able to work it out at the end.

Once stripped down, I set about removing the old paint and clear coat. Several days of rubbing down, polishing, painting and making new stickers and Buzz was ready to be put back together. However, it was actually two months between me taking Buzz apart and getting to the point of reassembling him due to me pausing this project to work on something else. It was definitely a challenge trying to remember how everything fitted together after all that time!

Anyway, I think I managed to give Buzz a second chance at saving the universe - what do you think?
