1950's walking doll

This is 'Sweet Sue'. She is a walking doll from the 1950's.
She has some issues.













She has lost her walking action and part of the problem is a split in her plastic body.










She has other splits in her plastic too. All the splits are along seam lines.










Her wig is a mess and is falling off her head. Her head is coated with old dark glue.













Wig off.....lots of icky glue left behind.














Admittedly an undignified pose but the splits in her torso are now fixed with epoxy and are starting to get painted.












Now she is multi-tasking by trying on a potential outfit while having her hair done.













And then she is done.
Splits fixed. Walking mechanism works.
And, she is suitably coiffed and garbed.
