No we do have other mam fans on the forum, they just don’t post as much as me and you LeStryge.

This body arrived today. I got it cheap due to it being covered in a blue green sticky residue. I'm guessing that it was an old space suit or something.
After trying various ways to remove it I finally tried cleaning alcohol..which did the trick I gave him new hands plus I also restrung the arms as they were very floppy. And he has a nice new flock courtesy of Mick Coxey.
And now temporary clothing until I decide on his final look.

Very well done on getting the blue green sticky residue of the body by remove it by cleaning alcohol. How much was left of the alcohol in was in the bottle once you where taking swigs while you were using it to remove the blue green sticky residue of the body mmmm. Congratulations on restoring him by giving him new hands plus restrung the arms. Also giving him a nice new flock courtesy of Mick Coxey. The temporary clothing you have put him in are nice and simple. I wonder how long it’s going to take you to decide on his final look.

Nice work on the figure RT, I have to say I've never seen a blue green residue on a figure before. That's a new one on me!
He is looking very good after your efforts. I like taking old figures and getting them back in shape. In fact, I have a couple I still need to work on.

Cool shots Chris . As you have hit over forty pages, I would suggest starting a second collection thread, as some of your earlier stuff (pages) will start to disappear

Took mini me out n about today
And might I say your "Mini Me" is looking mighty fine for his age too!
Sadly I have to report that despite a lot of initial enthusiasm, some quite successful (I thought) modifications to a head sculpt AND a great deal of expenditure on what I imagined to be appropriate clothing and footwear, my own Mini-Me project seems to have stalled and just been shelved. Not at all sure if I will continue with it or re-purpose the same figure for some other project.
