Protectobots Restoration

They were in a lady's flower pot that still had a little bit of dirt in it at the Dapto Markets which is basically a Trash and Treasure market held every Sunday (problem is 90% of the stalls have been turning up each and every week for the past 5 or 6 years trying to sell the same stuff and don't seem to get the point that maybe their Trash is just another persons Trash?).

Yea it is crap, but once every so often you chance upon a really good bargain there

Not to get sidetracked too much, but is that toy guy still there? The one who usually has piles of toys.

But on topic, I would do what Gamblor suggested for the stickers and cleaning, then see how they turn out. If parts of First-aid are yellowed a bit, I'd say dunk em

Normally when I want to get sticker residue removed, I use baby wipes as its mild on the paint and plastic but dissolves the residue.

However Gamblor's suggestion sounds very good.

Hey guys a quick update.

Liege has sold me a junker Blades of his to recycle for parts which also came with both of Blades' Helicopter Guns.

The cleaning of both Blades and First Aid has come along nicely, with Streetwise currently being put on the back burner for the moment as I've hit a pain in the ass of a problem.

The screws on the 3 figures are terribly rusted, mainly around the heads of the screws but not the stems. The screws in the Leg areas of Blades and First Aid were easy enough to get off with a little bit of labor (I've not tried Streetwise yet) but the screws that hold their chest assemblies together are rusted so tight I'm running a very real risk of burring the screws.

Has anybody got some tips or advice they could share that would help me in getting these little bastards out?, I really don't want to go to the extreme of having to drill the screws out.

If I can find some batteries that have some charge I'll post some pics later tonight, otherwise it'll probably be tomorrow.

Drill them out

Drill them out

Yeah that always works. Just be sure that the drill is strong and thin enough for the screw and screw hole or you could damage the body.

Hence the reason why I want to avoid that method if I can.
