I saw some of the damaged figures being restored and although they were chipped they weren't smashed to pieces. Some did need a bit of restructuring and then all of them needed touching up with paint. I haven't seen the finished result but it's a shame to have them inside a shed with a window so high they can hardly be seen. Even if it is a new one surely it could have been made like the one in Accy (which also had restoration work done on the figures) so that children can see in. Must try to get round there over Christmas and have a look at the thing. |
