| Scorpio Restoration | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This Scorpio; which I restored for Jeff Harrison, came to me with the left leg wire broken, the left hand chewed and missing three fingers and the light didn't work. I re-built the fingers from scratch using a large push-pin for a base and applying thin coats of thinned silicone mixed with paint. The entire left leg wire was replaced. Finally, the light contacts were cleaned and then recalibrated to work properly. |
