Nice work ther with those plastics  ^^^ ^^^ I'd hoped you might come across this thread and have a look see!!

Would've been great to have your help when i made those two plastics for this game. You see, when i made them i had NOTHING much to go off, just an image of the flyer, hence why mine look slightly different to what you have done. I had to pretty much guess as to what they exactly looked like, especially the plastic over the kickout hole and the spinner images.

And BTW.. any chance of a resto thread of your own Dracula?? Im sure others would like to see one as much as i would *%* *%*

The saucer scoop is the "most missing" plastic on the Drac for sure. I too had to "create" this one from the flyer. I was lucky to obtain a scan of the panther droptarget plastic, the long skinny standup, left sling and spinner. I had the right sling, but I also re-did this so both left and right would match colour wise, plus it was a good idea to recreate an existing plastic to see how the process went.

As always, while the results are OK, but I want GOOD. Just got some stuff in the mail this week so I can have another crack at them. That will be attempt #5 at these plastics :D

I'll get to posting a restore thread - sometime soon the mylar/contact is coming off, so I'll do it then.

I think I'll post about the plastics too, so people can see what did and didn't work for me. There are so many ways to tackle the problem!

I have a set of spinner decals and drop target decals I made if you are interested, let me know and I'll post them.

I also have the art files as vectors and they are available to any member who has a Drac. (Usual disclaimer - only non commercial for existing owners for the purposes of restoration)

Cheers
Jacob
