Sortie d'Ecole (School's Out!)

I started a different thread on the restoration, but decided to show my finished efforts here. This is a forced perspective diorama that I repainted approximately 90%.

I kept as many original elements as I could but found it necessary to replace those that had deteriorated with age. Actually, it was quite fun and an enduring challenge. I have about 30 hours of restoration and build time in on this one.

If you look closely, you will find the American First Lady, Michelle Obama. I needed an angry woman's face...who better than Michelle?

Oh, yes, credit to Agence Eureka for providing the original scans on Pillpat's Flickr page!

This is great. Really enjoy seeing these, as they have a charm all their own.

C'est tout vrai.
Maj.Charles and our Patricia have between them contributed both well and appreciably to the ongoing preservation of these increasingly rare models.

The results are excellent.

Kind and Respectful Regards my friends, Uyraell.
