Hi Pege,

You did a great job at restoring this wonderful old model.  I just have a few questions, I apologize if you stated this information before on your other posts.

What kind of clay do you use to fill in the gaps, is it paper air dry clay or epoxy putty?  I read that any sort of moisture can be very damaging to masse figures.
Did you put any sealant on this oryx?  The matte non shiny finish looks very good just like the original.  I know on your first oryx you put a sealant to protect the paint, how about this second non-shiny one?

thanks
