Maybe the resin softened over time and warped into shape, lol.

I've been waiting a long time for this one. I bought this Supergirl Adam Hughes "kit" fully painted from the maker about 10 years ago. It arrived in several pieces and had an OK paint job on it. I was promised a replacement that I piad shipping for but it never came and was unable to talk to the maker again after that.

A friend of mine offered to fix it...which he did a good job. He also offered to paint it for me and admitted it would not be the best, but hey why not. It was better than I could have done.

Here is a before picture.



Last year I talked to Vince-Velle (John Ficchi) about getting her done right. We talked back and forth for a while and we settled on a price. So here she is (FINALLY after 10 years) in all her glory.....thank you very much John!

Thank you!
I always wanted to tell you, from the pictures you post on here, I bet your house looks awesome. I can see that you have hints of retro here and there, which is not overly done. I love! it in a home.

Thank you very much. I bought the house July of 2017 and we are slowly changing furniture as we find and can afford it. My girlfriend and I are trying to find pieces from the early 50's to mid 60's to go with the mid century house. I love that copper intercom panel in the background.
