Well so many people asked…so I am doing sorta a tutorial/demonstration of my restoration ideas…using a broken pegasus I got from Wolflodge.
In the first photo you can see the broken wing…bad bad break!!
In the second I used Apoxie Sculpt two part epoxie to sculpt the missing shape. After allowing it to stiffen a bit, I started carving the feathers in.
That is picture three that you see now before you.
Apoxiesculpt takes about 3 hours to really harden…but when its so soft…carving causes it to push in too much. SOOO I am very carefully going to recarve after it hardens…that way it has the right layering effect. I will then prime and paint. I will update photos as I go along.
What do you think?

Nice job, Whippet! Though I’m sure it takes more work and patience carving the details than the pictures show…

LOL, I have the Windstone Rearing Pegasus I bought from Ebay along with the hatchling pegasus. The seller put both in the same box with very little cushion. 👿 I am thinking of repainting them, but don’t know what pattern to do.

That of must been a battle. I bet the hatching won.

Actually, the hatchling broke his leg. Hubby wanted to shoot him 😆 I’ll do something with him someday.

I was supposed to mail him off last week, but kept leaving him at home. I will package him up tonight and send him off tomorrow.
