I agree Paul, that's magic! And what a beautiful MOC it is.

That's the one. Furniture polish and a regular yellow duster. Slowly and gently rub away. The paper residue will shift first leaving the gum. It's just a matter of patience. Lighter fluid also helps on the gum. Lighter fluid will soak into the card though (it does evaporate) so be carefull when rubbing not to lift the litho (I caught it in a couple of minor spots). The trick is to take your time and not let the card get too wet, and know when enough is enough. There is a stubborn bit just visible that I gave up on rather than risk damaging it.

It is a bit tired around the edges and has a bit of light wear on the back, but otherwise it was all as described. The crack in the top of the bubble isn't too bad - the figure could not be removed. The card is about 2mm shorter than others I have but it's all perfectly legit. I think the £75 offer I made was a fair price.

Some great pieces there guys.
Here's my latest piece and I can't even begin to describe the difficulty of acquiring a piece like this!! So I'm very happy to have finally landed one. 8)

Lee. Not that i don't wish all the success I had, but it may be best to try on a beater first. Get used to how much pressure to apply and so on. That's how I did it, and even now I still feel like it's a major gamble whether all goes according to plan. Good luck.Lee Gregory said:

i cant really beat the stuff up here for mintyness, and the fett?? even i know thats a tricky one to get and amazing in that condition,,(could be a Tigerham special, seen them around lately :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: )
ok i have been busy and still looking at loose and ships, and nothing but imperial of course.
And before i go any further, yes i have some modern, but i intend of having them as interim peices to be replaced later . :wink:
ok camera is fooked so i-phone fuzz fest photos too.
A newly aqquired vader tie and my childhood origional.
Two nice white ties.
two interceptors, one has missing decals, hmmm too replace or not??
my two modern ties (spit) :lol: :lol: i kinda like them as they are the same moulds as the origional except the new new tie has the battery pack square totally gone and it seems true to the film tie?
and yeah its way modern. but look how big it is and i did want origional whitey one and weathered rebel captured one.
and the new arrivals lined up in the room that when finished will be their home.
Now i get to design and build shelves with display in mind
so a few months of chasing figures now,then hopefully a chance to display them properly, i am loving the opening parcels feeling like mini christmasess every month
thanks to all who have helped out so far, no MISB or even close, but thats not my way, yet!
