Balcony Chuck restoration

Since I plan on restoring Chuck, I figured it was time to make a thread. First post is more of a record of where I'm starting from.

Posted Image

The good:

He has all his body cosmetics.
They're in great shape.
Has all his cylinders and a valve bank.
Parts seem to be in good working order.

The bad:

Mech is missing the right forearm and hand.
Whites of the eyes are marked and discolored.
Irises are chipped, scratched and also mismatched.
No nose.
No lower lip.
No tongue.
Is that white thing supposed to be teeth?

The unknown:

Status of cylinders, valves and other mechanics. (No compressor or controller to test those yet.)

Working on either getting the old right forearm/hand from the previous owner or a replacement from another member.

Eyes are really important to a character, whether they're 2D or 3D. Here are Chuck's.

Posted Image

Now you know why I've taken most pics with his eyes closed. I think the iris on the left eye is newer, or at least intended for a different bot. It's a different size, and the lines are painted in white. The pupil is off center too. I'm hoping to find a replacement that matches the smaller one on the right eye. Lots of wear on both from the eyelids rubbing against the surface and taking the paint off. My plan is to fill the chipped areas with epoxy putty, then sand smooth and repaint.

Eyes I can keep shut, but the nose and teeth stick out all the time. Still waiting on most materials, but I got tired of looking at the pull tab hanging from his mouth and made him some new teeth from some imitation leather. I looked at pictures and guessed on the size and shape, but I think they turned out pretty good. Even though he still looks weird without a nose, the new teeth make him look much better already.

Posted Image

On figures of this age, they used French stretch terry fabric to cover his nose, snout, jaw and lower lip. The tongue was made from satin. The previous owner reupholstered his snout and jaw, but didn't use the same type of cloth.

Unfortunately, stretch terry is not easy to find except online. The pink fabric looks fine so I'll leave that for now until I can find the correct fabric. My plan is to give him a new nose and recreate the lower lip and tongue. I ordered black and red stretch terry from fabrics.com. Hopefully they should arrive next week. There should be plenty of fabric left over if I have to redo them if/when I find the correct pink cloth.

I hope to work on him a little each day.

Update:

Munch, Helen, Pasqually, and Jasper are all going to smittys.

Chuck is going to 80sgirl so she can turn him into a guest mech, 80sgirl is also possibly getting guest cosmetics.
Update #2: The guest cosmetics that 80sgirl might be getting:

Harmony Howlette

Madame Oink
Update #3 (so many updates, lol.):

80sgirl might get doli cosmetics for some reason.

She got the band board in her half, which in turn was sold to Cpt.Slappy for his show. The rest of the bots are going to Smittys except Chuck E.

Nope, this is a brand new show that recently got uncovered. Slappy's was put together by a variety of sources, as will this one (to compete Smitty's cyberamic Chuck into a complete show).

[sidenote]Me wants PTT Artwork. :what: [/sizenote]

Thanks for spreading the word. My mobile internet at the seller's house was absolute crap. Most of the pictures I posted to instagram I had to reload several times to get them to post. No hope of getting on the board. But now that I'm back there's a thread on it!

http://w11.zetaboards.com/Retro_Pizza_Zone/topic/11397407/1/?x=90#new

And yes, we have the rat I've been working on to thank for this.

Unfortunately Jasper was missing, though. You're probably seeing Harmony's mask on the table.

If someone found an Artie Antlers, Foxy, or Sally, that would be BAWSS! But its stil equally amazing to see all of this come together. Also, how will Smitty's get Jasper?

I feel like Smitty's will just have to wait til there's an opportunity to get another Jasper, which sadly, might not be for quite a while. :'(

That is awesome that you finally got a Harmony. She is pretty rare.
