U.S.S. Flagg

[zambot3]

My friend just bought a complete one of this and although not perfect to scale, looks pretty cool with his jumbos standing on it. Maybe I will have to get one.

It's big, as I am sure you know. Make sure it's complete. Tons of parts.

I dug out my USS Flagg this weekend from a closet and garage and was saddened to see age hit it hard. Mostly all the white and gray pieces are now yellowed/oxidized. I'm pretty sure this is because I would leave my assembled Flagg out in the backyard under the hot sun for days. I currently committed to restoring it as I have to buy some parts that were broken during childhood play or missing. I'll be trying that Hydrogen Peroxide treatment to whiten the plastic, although I hear its not entirely a permanent fix and treated parts can be prone to re-yellowing again.

Has anyone here experienced this with restoring gokin parts?

Does anyone have pics of it? Just curious to see what it looks like.
I don't think I've heard of it before, unless I see what it is and then I might recognize it.

Here's what the USS Flagg looks like. Once I finish restoring both the Flagg and my LJN Giant Commander Jumbo Voltron, I'll take a picture of Voltron chillin on top of the carrier deck. lol

Mrclean. When you go to proxide-30 the parts. I would use 1 layer of paper towels and spray on the proxide-30 and papermeche the towels down to the pieces, out in the direct sun. Once the towels lay and stick, soak them good. Leave out for a few hours and they'll look great when done. I did the same process to an entire Gi-Joe Shuttle and it looked new when done. To keep it from yellowing again, at least for a long period, rub the parts down with some Armorall or McGwires detail wax spray. it will help seal the parts for a period and keep the oxydation from coming back so soon. Hope this helps and have fun restoring the USS Flagg.
