Before and after of restoring a red squirrel
This red squirrel is antique and was well overdue a rehaul. The glass sadly smashed so I set to work: cleaned and restored the squirrel, repainted and filled any gaps in the case, redid the groundwork, repainted the outer layer of the case, new glass fitted.
Before and after of restoring a water buffalo head
This water buffalo head was restored to his former glory. I fully fumigated the specimen first, then repaired both ears, fixed and restored cracking around the mouth, nose, repainted and put the sheen back onto the noise. Plus a full deep clean of the fur, horns and eyes.
Before and after of restoring the Bear at Rodborough
​
This big antique bear was in need of repairing. As you can see his teeth were not in the best way, his tongue was falling apart as well as his fur was caked in dust over the centuries and decades.. With some minor repairs that needed to be done around his eyes, mouth and nose. I set to work and cleaned from top to toe of this bear. Gave him some dental work and also painted the base and created new claws and repaired the tongue.
He is definitely a lot happier now and customers will be happy to see him back in situ at the Bear of Rodborough Hotel in Stroud.
Before and after of restoring a bear cubs nose.
​
Small restoration work on this bear cub called Coleman. This poor cub had this nose chewed off by a naughty puppy. So coleman needed a rhinoplasty to make him good as new. Also a little touch up on the eyes to make him glow again.
