China Repair to a Royal Doulton Figurine called Penelope.

A client emailed me after seeing this on Ebay suggesting in jest that I should buy and repair it, so I decided to do this as it would be a good example of what can be achieved with Restoration.
She is a  Royal Doulton figurine called Penelope and as you can see had no head.

The first thing to do after cleaning it was to acquire a perfect example in order to take a mould of the correct head.

The head was made with Dental Restorative in order to give the hardest finish and even make it sound like china when tapped.

The head was adhered to the body using Fynebond and additional sculpturing done to the joins, the whole head was then painted with a white glaze ready for painting.

The basic painting to get the flesh colour and ribbon was first.

The hair and face were hand painted to match the undamaged one I had, and finally the figure was glazed and polished to match the rest of the body.
