I've got a couple (all right, I've got a LOT) of items that are missing parts. Some are not too noticeable, but others are essential. I've tried to make some replacement parts for some of my figures. Now bear in mind I am by no means artistic. I used Sculpey (actually Primo, I think it was called, in this case) to craft these parts. To help reinforce them, I used paper clips within selected ones, like the X-Bomber X and the Gundam Vs. I still have to make some adjustments (like paint some parts, cut down some parts, fill in some spaces, etc.). Plus, I think I overbaked these, so the color darkened a little bit, but the base color of the clay was a good match. While they are certainly not the best, I think that the difference is dramatic, especially if you see them in a group and don't know that they are replacements (i.e., you are not focusing on the parts).

AFTER:
I've tried more significant sculpts in the past, with less success. For a goof, I'll post these pics too. I think these pics reinforce my lack of artistic ability.
I never finished them, but they might have turned out OK with a little paint (or at least better than being headless). Anyway, I recently picked up a Voltes with the head, so now instead of crafting the whole deal, I just have to try to make the crewzer (plane). Try not to laugh too hard...
