When I discovered this bird on french ebay for only few euros, I ordered it quick in spite of its lack of head feathers because this piece is now rare and very expensive and because I knew it would be easy to repare it with WePAM paste:

Thank you Lucky luke :)

Let me guess, that is the clay that we cross our arms and the clay makes the work, isn't it?
I must buy it, I wonder how it is the fantastic feeling of letting some clay next to one of my figures in poor condition and after a walk, to be back at home and find it completely restored. Laughing

This world never stops surprising us, what will they invent next? Alain, Alain, ta main était elle ma main. Wink
