Seeing so many awesome restoration projects on here has lead me to follow suit.
Here's the beginning of a restored 1989 Iron Grenadiers Razorback. As you can see, it's definitely in some need of a bit of TLC. The Canopy has some pretty deep scratches, so I'm hoping that NOVUS plastic scratch remover does the trick. The rear Turret has a bit of a crack in it, but I should be able to conceal that as well. Finally, stickers from Cobra Stickers and voila! Should be good to go! I'll update as progress is made. Hopefully sooner than later.

Nice. I semi-restored mine a few years back. Missing all the weapons still.

Yay Update!
Well...Kinda. Blah blah blah busy life blah blah. So, I stripped it down, removed all the decals (what a pain in the ass) and gave it a good washing. I didn't take any before pictures (other than what's above) nor did I take during images. If you're really curious about my cleaning process, I can assure you that I put the best men on it...THE BEST MEN! The process is similar to this - But anyways...here's where I'm about now: Once it's dry, I'll be applying the scratch remover & polish, then on to stickers. Was hoping to get both this and the DEMON done this weekend, but eh, what can you do. More pics to come (hopefully). Oh, PS - Sadly, what I thought were scratches on the Canopy are really burn marks (?) Oh well, gives it character.

First round of polish. Need to clean it up in some parts/grooves, but happy with it so far.

Thanks, man! I'm torn on whether or not to put the stickers on yet. >.>

Awesome job! Looks better than brand new. Really clean work. And yes, you better put some stickers on it. That would be icing on the cake.
Plus, I'm worried about your judgment when it comes to your taste in the floral designed furniture and towels. . |
