Here is a repeat pic of how badly he was broken.
Here he is repaired, but not yet repainted to original.
In about an hour or so the ApoxieSculpt ™ will be set and then I can start repainting.
I am very pleased with this product, takes forever to stop being sticky as all get out though. I think next time I am going to mix it up and then leave it sit for an hour before I start any repair work.
Anyway, just wanted to show how he is progressing, should have an updated all finished picture in a few hours.
Okay, all done. The right wing of the gargoyle appears gray, but rest assured the whole gargoyle is the same color more or less uniformly over the whole thing. That side just did weird things with the flash.
Kujacker, I can send him back your way once you send the shipping funds.
This guy was fun to fix.
Comments welcome.

Who says you can’t…have you ever tried?

WOW Kirin..you did a great job 🙂 Can’t wait to see him painted. Did you get any tips from Melody or Nam, or did you just wing it?

Just winged it. I’ve been repairing ceramics for years. In fact just last night some friends came over with a casualty their kids had killed. Grandma made it thing, oops. It had been broken once before, but I fixed both the old break site and the new. Looked pretty good when I finished.
The Gargoyle was a bit harder. I actually used some of the little bits in the bag Kujacker sent to set up the wings and where the tips went. Also the whing tip on the left wing was completely obliterated, except for the very tip. So I rebuilt the wing and put the original tip into position.
I think the hardest part was rebuilding the right ear.

Oh wow!! He looks STUNNING. And you did him so quick too! Thank you SO much! Man he looks awesome~
Just let me know how much, and what address to send it to and will do!Kujacker wrote:Oh wow!! He looks STUNNING. And you did him so quick too! Thank you SO much! Man he looks awesome~
Just let me know how much, and what address to send it to and will do!I actually had to force myself to walk away from him long enough to take my son to go see the sturgeon at my work before I got too wrapped up to take my son as promised.
But I opened him up and was jigsaw puzzling the broken bits before I left. All of your wingtips are originals. LOL!

Thanks, GB! I’m really proud of my fix it job, couldn’t have done it without that Apoxie Sculpt, man that stuff is cool.

Oh that is really cool. You think you could fix a hawks castle? I don’t have any of the missing peices, and you are closer to me so it would cost less to ship.
