Repairing a severely damaged figure of Hitagi Senjougahara from "Bakemonogatari" [Restoration]

Requested item: Kotobukiya 1/8 scale Hitagi Senjougahara (Monogatari Series)

Damage status: Cracks, missing parts, scratches, stains, discoloration

[Before]

This is a request to repair a figure that is severely damaged.

There were some missing parts and extensive repainting was required, so it would have been much cheaper to purchase a new one, but the customer requested us to repair it as it was an item that the customer had a special attachment to.

This is where the hair is most damaged, so we'll start there first.

The broken parts were glued and polished. Some of the tips were missing, so we focused on strength and made these parts using reinforced shafts and plastic repair.

We check for scratches several times, apply putty and sand the surface, then move on to painting.

First, I painted it with a bright violet and then layered a blue-toned color to recreate the original color. The sample in the back is the one I was given.

The fingers are also made using brass shafts and plastic repair.

The clothing is badly damaged and faded, so it will need to be repainted entirely.

[After]

The overall touch-up paint is completed, and the final gloss finish is applied to complete the work.
