Tomb of the Cybermen: Exhibition head restoration!

I take an old ex-exhibition "Tomb of the Cybermen" display head and give it a respectful restoration after it had faceplanted the concrete during an event in the early 2000's.

The goal here was to repair and restore a damaged exhibition Cyberhead that would have originally gone into a skip after its fall. Thankfully it was passed on to me and I had planned to do it up for my wife.

I didn't want to go too far with this and elected to keep much of the surface imperfections that were cast in - as these are present all over the screen used originals - one of which this was moulded from in the tail end of the 1980's.

Essentially, I wanted to keep the authenticity intact, while tackling a few issues that it had; a major crack in the face, the eyes and mouth being ill-placed, too big and lopsided. I also added in some missing details such as the rear plate clasps and a head lamp, plus I sorted out the asymmetrical handle bars.
