Hoping someone may have a tip or two..

a friend has a tusken raider moc but over the last year there has been some black growth spreading over the cape. Hes tried leaving it in sunlight, no joy and was wondering if anyone had some home remedial cure all..The blister is fine, just the cape...
Thanks in advance

Robert.

Hi Robert,

It sounds like some kind of fungi (yes guys, fungi can also affect plastics :shock: ). In this case UV or bleach can kill fungi, but it seems that UV doesn't work out. And the bleach can only be applied by taking the figure from it's blister :shock: :? :(

My tip is also prone to fungus.

There must be some sort of cream you can get for that.

Somehow this dark brown cape suits Tusken better :D
 
I woke up at 5am, saw 10 replies, thought woohoo, there`s some smart people on swf.uk...that thought was right up there with the man who said the titanic would never sink

Some were funny, 1 serious but overall just replies from people trying to boost their ranking. Thought I was speaking to the organ grinder and not the monkey, but feel free to embarrass yourselves more and reply to my comment if you really have nothing better to do..

I actually like this better 8)
 
Was it ever graded by the AFA? I only ask as I have a Leia Bespin which has done the same thing, seemingly after it was graded (I didn't have it graded myself and it was like this when I purchased it). As seen on this valuation thread:

http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=29395

As mentioned above I don't know how to get rid of it, but I suspect it's some reaction in the vinyl itself rather than mould growing on it.

Mr. shitter, your first comment was actually intelligently funny...

Not very Christian of you father ted. Thought your lot believed in forgiveness and turning the other cheek?

Or is it that you sadly let your guard down and showed everyone who reads this that you are a sad little troll trying to provoke a reaction from this forum, your not really that clever and that everyone has seen through your bullshit (I can say that)

Now go **** yourself.
