Jackie arrived with a broken hat brim and badly broken base.
His complexion and overall surface was also very rough though its not easy to see in these pix. This is often a result of the chalkware having too many tiny air bubbles. The rugged skin looks good to a point, but more often than not, it simply looks bad. Jackie looked bad.
I repaired the base and tried to do a light touch up on his face, but it was just too rough. Jackie needed a complete "facial." While I was at it I decided to sand down the entire statue.
The goal isnt to strip the statues bare, but to smooth out the bumps.
The end result with some added color.
