Can this Yak be saved??

[threaders]

Hi fella's
I have had this since 1995. I paid £3.00 for him from Manchester corn exchange and look closley and you will see why Been meaning to get another one but cant afford the £70 - £100 they seem to go for on the bay
Do you reckon he could be saved? My modelling skills are crap though, so might try and find a real busted up one that I could use to repair this on of mine.
Give us some thoughts

Thanks for looking and all the best

Have you got the foot?

 

[threaders]

No, no foot unfortunatly, maybe someone on here has a spare? I have looked at all the other fiqures to see if there is a close match, but there isnt one thats got the same mould for the feet

I can fix him.

Are you in the USA mate? Ill see if anyone in the UK can help first, but I would be interested otherwise

 

[jackabina]

Let him do it fella. The shipping would be worth it. Have you seen his customs

You could sculpt a new foot out of milliput, but you would then have to paint it, not that hard to do as its only a small piece, but it would be handy if you had another in hand when doing it for a comparison.

I could re sculpt it, but don't have the paints.

Todd is your best bet as I am sure he could get it bang on.

I had a Trilogo Fett like this once, used to call him landmine Fett - Never fixed him

Wouldn't mind seeing some of tie fighter boy's custom figs I am pretty new here, so dont know who everyone is yet

 

[poncho]

i think the busted foot adds character to it as it is

Even beater Yaks go for loads these days.

Postage to and from the US shouldn't be loads. I had a figure sent from there recently and the postage was less than $4.

The sculpt would come from an original Yak. Pretty simple job. If done correct it would look close, color matching is the hard part even if you do a resin cast. You actually could do this your self,,,not a hard sculpting job at all.

 

[jackabina]

Whoever does it, I'm looking foward to seeing the results 8)

Todd can fix it.

 

[tiefighterboy]

Todd can fix it.

I have the technology.................I can rebuild him. :lol:

 

[threaders]

I like it!!
Do you have any idea how much it would cost for the postage of one fiqure from yours to here in the UK. You would have to be carefull on what you put on the customs form too. I am definatly interested though

Ahh the Corn Exchange,! I remember one of the stalls there having loads of figures, all quite cheap too if I remember correctly. Not that I ever bought any, moresthepity!

Even beater Yaks go for loads these days.

You're not wrong there, I just sold one with loose limbs and loads of paint rubs for £44!

Did this went to Rob??? Well then now I have him!!

Just that you know where it is! I wont fix him either...and "landmine Fett" is his official name, because Rob and I call it the same way!


On the Yak:

I could fix it too! But also not from UK. If I were you, I would buy a beater Yak...maybe one without head or sth like that and simply swap the leg!

(Of course this should be mentioned if you ever sell it )

Cheers

[Joe]

Lol Wolff! Yep I sold it to Rob so you definitely have the same Landmine Fett

Glad he won't be fixed, in fact if it wasn't for his missing Fett it would have been a bloody nice minty one! :lol:
