At it again, this bashed up old Norm Edwards moulded Boofhead was in a pretty bad way when I got him.

 
Now has a new look and I have taken the photo's with the restored model above an original for comparison. I had a few challenges along the way but with a bit of help, thanks Chris Sinclair, I'm happy with the end result.
 
 
They look good together in the display case. Hope you like what I done with it.
Cheers,

Gavin

Thanks guys!
Chris Sinclair, remember me asking you about stopping air bubbles from being expelled from the "foam" used in making lures? You suggested I use some fibreglass resin to seal the body, I ended up using a 2 pac sealer and well the results are above, only after undercoating the dam thing twice, 3rd time lucky.... Thanks again.
Cheers,

Gavin
