Wanted to start this thread and try to document the whole project as best as I can. The older similar projects in here
are starting to lose it's pictures, and many are using mostly the clothes as the only original parts.
A bit of backstory, the statue was used by our local cinema when the Phantom Menace released in 1999. It was stolen a few days later and
gone for 15 years. In 2014 some of our squadmembers found it at a student home, and they got it back. The cinema swore they'd restore it and
have it on display, but nope. Two years later and they've done nothing - only stored it after realising they can't do this kind of work. So here we are!
It's in a rough state, after being gone for 15 years. Arms are broken, head is tilted a bit forwards, one eye is pushed in, lightsaber is gone, we think we
have the belt. Stand is bruised and letters needs to be painted up in gold. But it's doable!
Have been looking through some old threads here, and have been inspired by this one and are in the prosess of ordering
those PVC spider joints. That is a very important upgrade of this piece.
A few pictures from the storage at the cinema. And last a picture from when we picked him up today!
Our plans are to restore it back to it's former glory. So no new head, clothers, gloves or boots (that would be insane to try finding these). We do need a new lightsaber within our budget - which is very limited. Clothes will be dry cleaned by pros for a cost. So much old dust here.
That's what we got so far!
