    Here is a comparative shot of the color restoration of the Scourge I am currently working on. It shows just how much of the 'yellow' clears up after a part is soaked on H2O2 for about 4 days. It's not perfect but it's one heck of an improvement.



    (The stringy plastic thing is something that just fell on it. I didn't realize until after I took the photo)

    It was bad but not that bad.

    However I wouldn't mind to take up the challenge but at $500 its not worth it. My Max was in better condition and cheaper..then again that one has the sword...

    Mines not that bad, plus I just have the body and I'm missing most parts. Also the front of the one in the image is nearly as bad as my one's back; so vice-versa except on opposite sides.
    Wanted: G1 Liokaiser parts | unbroken G1 Smokescreen/Prowl/Bluestreak roofs | G1 Overlord tank barrel and tank orange cockpit canopy
