Title-plastic repairs 

 

Directions: ......Click on photos to see these domes "before" and "after" I repaired them.
 

hall of science

Hall of Science - Someone had bored a hole through the top of this dome, perhaps to let out one of the three rockets making up the first plaque.

illinois

Illinois - The buildings in this dome came loose and needed to be glued back in place, also needed the dome replaced.

arizona

Arizona - This roadrunner must have banged into the side of the dome causing it to crack. Needed the dome replaced.

chinatown

ChinaTown San Francisco - "Chinatown my chinatown, where the lights are low..." Not only the lights but the water too. There was a hole in the bottom. Needed to be put into a new dome.

new orleans

 New Orleans - The repositioning of a fallen plaque inside this bottle was another "big easy".

mt. airy lodge

 Mount Airy Lodge - For the person who found this dome, childhood memories of this location were better than its "toaster" shape. So we made the dome match the memories by giving it a stylish new home. Needed to be put into a new dome.

die hard

 Die Hard 2 - "Hard to see 2" was the other name of this famous movie dome. You would die to see inside through the dirt and grime. Needed a good cleaning and refurbishing.

hearst

 

Hearst Castle - First "Rosebud" then this. Needed to be put into a new globe.

mormon temple

Mormon Temple - A solid faith but a broken base and dome. Needed to be put into a new dome.

ohio

 

Ohio - Cincinnati looked more lackluster than usual in this faded and cracked dome. Needed the dome replaced.

great america

Great America - No more ups and downs inside this dome with its seesaw floating around. Needed its seesaw reinstalled along with new dome.

micky fig.

 

Mickey Figural - Not the happiest dome on earth with front of Mickey's stomach missing. The front of this globe had broken and fallen off. Needed a new non-standard size globe.

sea capt. fig.

Sea Captain Figural - Our young captain lost his ocean and his plug was glued in. Needed to have the plug drilled out, the hole relined and refitted with new plug.

sailor fig.

Sailor Figural - Old Salty had lost his pipe along with his water. His plug, too, was glued in. Needed to have the plug drilled out, the hole relined and refitted with new plug. A new pipe had to be fabricated.

arabic dome

 

Arabic Dome - The plaque on this exotic dome translates as "God Is Great." But the dome wasn't. It was cracked. Needed a replacement.

baltimore

 

Baltimore - The charm of this dome was an upside down name plaque, not its broken dome. Needed a replacement.

modena

Modena - Someone's granddaughter "played" with this bottle. Needed contents placed into new bottle.

freeport

 

Freeport - A casualty of remodeling, I think. This dome was paint-spattered and cracked. Needed new dome.

gibraltar

Gibraltar - Maybe the "rock of..." was sturdy, but this name plaque was made in China and had come loose. Needed plaque glued down and dome replaced.

mnt. dew

 

Mountain Dew - This Dew didn't. The advertising dome had cracked. Needed its dome replaced.

expo '67

 

Expo '67 - Once the pride of Canada, this famous site sat in a dirty and clouded dome. Needed new dome.

expo '67

Expo '67 - While the sky in this dome looked somewhat like the Northern Lights, it wasn't. The paint was peeling off the back. Needed new dome.

shrine of consolation

Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation - The dirt and lack of water were of no ___________ to this bottle. Needed refurbishing.

natural bridge

 

Natural Bridge - The rock formation was natural, but the crack and flaking paint on image plaque were man-made. Needed a new dome and paint touch-up.

annie

 

Annie - The person who owned this dome (and she knows who she is) wanted "Sandy" the dog to be facing front so you could see his face. Needed the figures repositioned and new clear dome.

desire

New Orleans, Louisiana - The person who owned this dome (and she knows who she is, again) wanted the name plaque changed to "Streetcar Desire, New Orleans" (the name on the image plaque). Needed new name plaque printed and new bottle.

santa fig.

Santa Figural - Santa's globe cracked sliding down someone's chimney. He also lost a package glued on top. Needed a new, non-standard size globe and the package fabricated.

santa fig.

Santa Figural - Someone's niece, I think, "played" with Santa and broke his globe. Needed to be put into a new non-standard size globe as well as some touch-up paint.
