| Nice find he should clean up pretty good like to see him when you get him sorted, regarding the hands I was wondering if anyone knows where to pick up replacement gripping hands to fit on the old pegs? Ian _________________  | |

| Great pickups! Good basic VAM with some nice weapons. You just need to replace the hands!

Ian
Well I think you just have to buy these and pull them off the pegs to put on the vintage pegs....

You can indeed Cheers for this I just thought maybe could get them somewhere without the pegs it would be better if you could as less chance of damage when pulling them apart Ian _________________ | |

| Hi Ian, I pull them off with no trouble, and glue them on to the old pegs, reason for this that the new pegs don't fit very well, if you do get them in place they are very tight, it is hard to twist the hands into position to grip guns or knife some come up stuck and come off the pegs,

Cheers Mark the glue was what I was worrying about and how fast they were stuck but thanks for the info I will do this with the hands that have deteriorated Cheers Ian _________________ | |

| A very lucky find!  Finding vam at car boot sales these days is very very very lucky, everyone seems to know they are very much sought after by collectors, so vam normally end up being sold on e-bay. Even the pensioner sellers know the score with vam ££  I'm always getting sellers saying they have loads of vam in their parents loft, and as always, they promise to bring them along the following week, or they ask for my mobile number, i've been waiting for phone calls for years, i'm gullible sometimes. _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation: | |
