Had a bit of an adventure with this figure, I thought I'd try fixing her.

So I decided to try and repair the cracked pleather with Angelus Acrylic Paint. I saw a YouTube video on it and I read that it is recommended to paint the outfit once taken off the body due to possible staining. So I decided to try that and I got so far and saw that there was staining anyway so that was pointless and decided to dress her back up. That's when I saw that the pleather got even worse.

So I tried my best to sort out the pleather, not much could be done really so I decided to use a spare civil war body and swap a few of the parts as much as I could, I tried swapping the gauntlets but the winter soldier ones are too small for the civil war arms. I also undressed the winter soldier body, absolutely shredded and I cut out the emblem and stuck it onto the civil war body.

It came out really nice, well done!!

Thanks.

I actually just managed to put the other gauntlets on but they're a tight squeeze. From when I removed the previous gauntlets, they left a bit of a ripped mark since they were fused to the material after being left on for so long. But it is what it is
