I just scored another figure from Ebay two days ago. He's a PH Joe with the Breeches Bouy slicker. The jacket is ripped at the seam on the right underarm side, and there are several snaps missing. But I got him for $35. Should be fun sewing the seam back together and replacing the snaps. I'll have to hunt for some first. But it's a nice set anyway, and goes well with my Navy Joes .

Wow! That's some fur on the guy on the right! I know what you mean about childhood repairs. I'm a little wistful when removing those - remembering how I taped the knee of my Land Adventurer when I was a kid. But I get over it real quick and get directly to surgery. It's really fun restoring Joes!

Got these two from a friend at the flea market today, got a few bags of clothes with them as well, some nice stuff in those as well. The normal flocked guy only had one foot, oddly his left foot in his right leg, swapped it and pulled out a not great condition right foot out of a parts bag I had for the moment. The other guy is nuts, I have no idea but I think they glued fun fur to his head? He's in nice shape otherwise other than his broken left wrist, I have no idea the level of damage he has but they made such a nice cast for him I feel sorta bad about taking it off.

And after!

Here are the two figures partially outfitted. There are still several pieces I need for the Russian. The sailor will probably get the Navy Attack equipment soon, and will be my first sailor with that set. I can never have too many sailors!

Before.....Here are two figures that came together with some uniforms and gear. The foreign soldier got a new hand and forearm (vintage) and is kitted out as Russian Infantry. The Brown PH Joe on the right became an Action Sailor. He's on the right in dungarees below. The sailor's left arm came right off when I moved his shoulder joint. The string was old and completely dry rotted. I put in a new band from Cots and he's good as new. I probably should restring the legs and head too, because of the condition the arms were in.
