One of my recent acquisitions (see photo)
came to me in good condition but not in the condition I wanted to keep it in... So I figured if I could mod a gold dollar I could do a resto on a $10.00 eBay Noleka so here it starts... The scales were warped celluloid that were the cause of some black staining and pitting So I decided to get em gone..I know they were old a priceless omg! What was I thinking!!? Well I am thinking it's mine and I will make it like I like it!!! Anyhow here's some pics of the progression. 
some before and during pix. Now some after polish pix.
and a mock up of scales.
