I would check with Dolan to see what he can do first. You don't have to worry about it getting broke in shipping, at least on one way.

Hey Joe, I don't blame you! Once you get in this deep, you may as well finish it.  Good luck!  I'd do it for you but then I would have to lose it on the way to UPS!!!   ;D

Thanks for the tips and info! I'm going tomorrow after work to get an estimate for the repair. I just need to know the thickness of the headstock! Thanks!

"We can rebuild him...We have the technology". I love The Six Million Dollar Man!! 8)

Yeah, I've seen your action figure collection!

Did you try Reranch for paint?

I was thinking of putting together a coffee table book called "eBay Feet".......

Well..it is broken...er..uh..Well...I decided to go and once again Hire Gene Liberty to make a scarf joint headstock and fill in an reroute the body. I can paint it myself at work. I am thinking Inverness Green but finding Dupont Acrylic Lacquer is going to be tough. I have a gallon of white and axcess to a quart of Pelham blue, possibly a quart of Heather Poly. White is out. I'm doing another bird white. "We can rebuild him...We have the technology". I love The Six Million Dollar Man!! 8)

I might be tempted to overlay the entire top surface of the body with a 1/32 veneer so as the keep the repair from telegraphing through the paint/laquer - just my .02 worth. ;)

This is a great idea I've used as well.
