The "cracker mask" as we called it when it first came our way.
This piece was so brittle and fragile, if you breathed on it, it would crumble!

pinned to core
 

The Apeman himself, Brian Penikas,
painstakingly pins each reconditioned piece back into place.

All pieces pinned to core

Missing areas were sculpted in 
with a patching compound.

All missing areas 
have been filled

Eyes are added
and lids sculpted

The finished head...

Resurrected and...
