Youve been warned. If you have a weak stomach turn back now.
I got a kickass custom figure in a trade with a fellow wrestler north of the border. Some denver guys were booked in Canada late last month and one of them agreed to bring my figs to Canada and bring home the fig I traded for. But on North Dakota, they got in a real bad accident, white out blizzard caused them to drive into the back of an 18 wheeler, and after that another 18 wheeler hit their car, totally destroying it. All 4 of my friends survived, but there was one casualty
Hold onto your lunch...
Yes, Randy The Ram suffered some serious damage. The shoulder was totally broken off from the torso, the chest cracked, and both feet were broken off and got some parts of the lower leg by the ankle broke off.
Of course Im not terribly upset, Im just glad my brothers all survived. After losing my wife and roughly the same day they got in their accident another wrestling brother here in Denver, Jack Mecidol, took his own life. Im glad everyone made it home from that accident. Im just wondering how Im going to repair Randy.
First off, I know I need a new torso, luckily I have a body laying around I can use. I can use the lower half on a new torso, just need to figure out how to do that. I can probably cut off the boots, slightly dremel out the stumps, take a new pair of cut off boots and dremel them too so there's something the glue or epoxy can get into, stick the boots on then paint them.
Im sure a part swap and total repaint on a new fig would be better but I do like a challenge and the figure has a story to it, plus the figure will still be somewhat playable.
Thoughts?
