Totally Trashed Toy Restoration - US Navy SeaBee Tribute -

This trashed toy was just screaming for a restoration! The good news was I got it on EBay for only one dollar! The bad news is it was almost unrecognizable as a proper toy. After some research I found the original online and the color scheme was just about as ugly as the rusted version that I had. So I made the decision to perform the restoration as a tribute to some of the coolest sailors I've ever met. We Build, We Fight! Although I'm an Army guy, any soldier that's ever been deployed knows that the first people you make friends with are the SeaBees. If you need something, you can't exactly run to Lowes or Home Depot. You've got to run to the nearest US Navy Construction Battalion!

Some people will remove as much as they can to keep the paint from getting mixed in with their blast media. It makes it last a bit longer and will save money in the long run, but to me it's not worth the extra effort.
