Aurora 1966

Captain America

Restoration Project

Started July 2nd 2004

Here are a few pictures of my original 1966 Aurora Captain America model before restoration began:

 Here is a picture of what is missing:

Now it is time for Captain America's bath:

Well, the paint is stripped and there are alot of glue spots that just won't come off. When I tried to separate the splash and Captain from the base because it wasn't positioned correctly, I had to dis-embark the Captain from his right foot and get out the Dremel to remove the rest of the foot and splash from the base!
This is going to be one stinking pain in the @#$ to recondition. I will have to re-sculpt his right foot within the splash which shouldn't be too tough as you really can't see it anyway. Here are a few pics of the base before I added some putty to fix the hole I had to make in it...
