LPS's renovation

by **Bonbon** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:39 am

I don't know if I'm in the right section but I would like to share my experience.
Perhaps you'll need to restore your old LPS...
When I found again my chilhood's LPS, they were tinted. I was so sad... It was because of their stay in a danked cellar for 2 years in the same pocket with Schleich's figurines.

The secret to give back their beauty is undiluted hygrogen peroxide, sun and time !
You've to plunge the LPS in the hygrogen peroxide (I use an half plastic's bottle) and wait 2-3 days or until the result is correct for you.
This method is so great because the LPS find back their original's aspect and it doesn't damage the paint or the eyes' details ect...

It's working for all the animals, those which are not white, those which are pearly !

The installation

This trick was given to me by a Titi Chan's user.

Thanks to her, I'm saving my beloved LPS :mrgreen:

I'll show you the next ones soon

Hahaha ! I love the names you've given it ! :lol:

Bon travail ! Well done !
It's good to see them as beautiful as before, isn't it ?

I would do the same thing with my Quints.
But they have stickers.

I should take it off previously very carefully in heating it with a hair dryer (scan it, if possible), and then replace them with a glue that will not stain ...

by **Bonbon** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 10:33 am

Yes, I prefer to see them in a better condition !
They have childhood names so it's funny !
Now I have to find names for all my new Lps...
And I have to finish the eyes' restauration for Chouchou the dalmatian...

Good luck with your Quints ! The restauration sounds difficult but I'm sure you'll do a beautiful work

by **Alie** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 3:31 pm

You can make 2 point for his eyes. You will have a kind of Japanese version

by **Bonbon** » Sun Mar 08, 2015 12:27 pm

Sorry Alie, I forgot to give you an answer ! It would be a good idea but it's not possible, I have to finish it because Chouchou was one of my LPS' sister favorite... I would like to give him his original condition for her...

by **Bonbon** » Mon Aug 31, 2015 12:20 am

I finally finished the Dalmatian's renovation thanks to Alie's support !

Before :

After :

It's not perfect but I'm happy to see the 2 eyes of Chouchou

Congratulations! Looks very good!

by **TequilaMockingbird** » Mon Aug 31, 2015 5:29 pm

This looks so great. what is the secret? I need to do this to a few pieces as well. :shock:

by **Bonbon** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 5:20 am

Thanks a lot, you're so sweet !

I used a very small paintbrush (3/0), for the paint : a black, white and blue acrylic ones (I've used a glossy one for one eye, it's better for the noise).

When I wasn't satisfied, I used a Q-tip with a little drop of argan oil so as to erase the mistake, it's very efficient. I tried many times before being satisfied.

And to finish, I used a toothpick for the 2 white points in the eye !

You know everything now and I hope it helps you !

I'm very impatient to see your renovations TequilaMockingbird...
