Wishing all my fellow G.I. Joe collectors and fans a Happy New Year!
2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the greatest toy playset ever created - the U.S.S. Flagg aircraft carrier! I remember getting this behemoth Christmas of 1985, and had many sea battles thereafter with my Joes. I recently acquired a 100% complete Flagg off eBay. It's in great condition, but definitely shows its age with faded colors and stickers. I plan to clean her up, apply new stickers acquired off of Rattlerpros and set her up with new crew and arsenal. Check back for updates today and this weekend! Here are some before pictures: Bubbly Deck Stickers: Cleaning Up Parts and Accessories: Removed 30 year old stickers (nothing look old sticker goo): Sticker Print Out: New Stickers!

Got Sticker Residue? Admiral Keel-Haul recommends Goo Gone!

That's awesome man! Good for you. I love seeing these get renewed. It's the only big ticket item that I don't have and I currently collect too many lines to afford this right now but one day! Great job so far and I can tell my Keel Haul that you're having a blast doing it!

Very nice! I want to leave my stickers alone, but it could use a good cleaning.

30th Anniversary of the USS Flagg restoration project is done...after a few hours of de-gooing sticker residue, cleaning each piece with soap and water and applying over 300 UNCUT stickers, I have to say it was quite the task. I could not have picked a better project to do indoors during bad weather.
Here are some after shots: Deck: Tower and tow/fuel tanker: The Famous Fan Tail Railing:
