restoration of a Starlux secretarybird

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:

Congratulations
WePam good pate I sculpt with that

Thank you Lucky luke :)

I could have made feathers like the ones of the original piece but I am not a forger!

A nice bird, and i think the first secretary bird as figure.

Wonderful model!

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

Thank you Andreas, Taos and Rogério! :)

Beautiful model once again! You did a fabulous job.
