A few months ago, one of my french friend, Lionel, gave me, among a very big lot of animal replicas, this Starlux broken giant sable antelope hoping I could restore it:

.. this replica is from the Starlux special WWF collection whose sculptor was the talented Pierre Dandelot, so I tried to cure it wit my WePAM paste:

Thank you pipsxich and Susanne! :)

I get always enchanted with these stories of models in poor condition that resurrect under the hands of a magician. Lionel's faith is also important, instead of giving a sad end to this model, he believed someone with special powers could save it. Alain was the man! Thanks Alain, it is a lucky to this planet that there are some talented people like you to restore the treasures of the past.

Wonderful restoration.It looks very much like the illustration in the wonderful book on African mammals by Pierre Dandelot and Jean Dorst.
