Insane amount of work.

I agree, but I am glad there is a video how to do it, because if there was not I would never try to do it :lol:

Yeah...it was more work than I anticipated, which is why the video was so long in coming after Part 1. I'm glad of two things: That we didn't attempt a RetroBrite process as it wouldn't have made much of a difference on this example -- and by extension, that we left the wing stickers well enough alone. Yes, they look kinda battered, but I'm good with that. (I do wish I'd remembered to show the rust removal on the springs. It's night and day! But that process was shown in Part 1, so no important information is missing. Rusted springs? Vinegar dunk for 24 hours.)

Keep them coming Michael. :wink:
Some more SW more follies episodes would be great too. The one about the Battle Damaged Tie with a complex is great and the recent one with you finally attaining a pop-up R2 30 years later was so well done.

We have a few Star Wars Follies planned for this year. I've already scripted the next one and I have another three subjects in the script writing process.
