Your repair/restoration on this playset is amazing! Particularly, your replacing the broken section of the trash compactor! Really incredible, and I was thinking as I was watching that part, this is "Toy Polloi level" repair techniques! Dude, that's amazing! Anyway, I very much appreciated what you did with this playset, and love that you documented the process on video!👍
Thanks for watching, cheers!
great video nice fix
Excellent work repairing that trash compactor 👍
Thanks
Very cool
I'm glad you were able to make use of those shavings. There is definitely a specific point that plastic weld works. It's a patient man's game. Nice work
Yeah sometimes I wait thinking no, not going to work… then all of a sudden it melts. Sometimes no matter how long I wait nothing happens and it’s on to the super glues. Eventually that filler worked but took a lot of time, super glue was needed in conjunction for sure.
LogicBlaster is bang on. This indeed was a Toypoli level repair. Excellent work my friend, really well done.👍👍
Exactly!👍
I think Dave added a custom floor to his which you can print
Your restoration turned out great! I still have a Death Star Station and remarkably, nothing is broken, and all the stickers are intact! Still have a multicolor bag of foam for the trash compactor, and I have the monster. The card board backings are a little worn on the edges, but I have strengthened them by separating the layers of paper along the edge, adding superglue between each layer, allowing the paper to dry solid. This makes the edges pretty sturdy, but it is a process that has some obvious risk to it. Lucky for me, I'm an old hat at restoring paper and toys. My laser cannon doesn't stay up too well, but that's about all that's wrong with it.
That’s a good idea for the cardboard edges, I may try that. It’s a great Playset. Thanks for watching!
@@toysbackzen It's my favorite playset of all-time! Back in '78 (or '79) when I originally got the Death Star, the price on the box said $18. lol. I still have the box, though got decades of damage. Still intact though, held together in places with from the '70s. You did a great job repairing yours!
One thing you might look into regarding those backboard stains is to watch some comic book stain removal videos. I've seen a number of youtubers who restore and conserve comics that remove stains via soaking the paper in various solutions. Maybe some of those might prove helpful.
