I'm very pleased with my patient!  Cheesy

RWM, only the neck and tail have the cables - the legs and other joints work differently.  The actual work only took a couple of hours - I pretty much knew it was a snapped neck cable before I started, so I knew exactly what to do and where.  The rest of the time will be just waiting for the glues to harden fully and a day or so to let the new cable settle in.

I ordered the new cable from a steel cable specialist in the UK - if I remember right there's a link in the neck repair thread. Smiley

OK, we have Gordy all glued back together and just the paint to touch up, and he's done. Cheesy

Is he maintaining the original pleo green color or getting a facelift to go with the new neck?  Roll Eyes

The plan is just to touch up the original colouring where I've damaged it in pulling the skin apart.  Cheesy

Otherwise, knowing me, poor Kaiteee wouldn't be seeing Gordy for weeks ............ Shocked  Moose

I think just a touch up might be wise. I have a sneaking suspicion Gano might get a bit huffy if Gordy gets a makeover but she doesn't !  Cry  Sheep jumping rope

Crewella, this is so amazing Grin Gordy is looking fab! Thank you so much for looking after him and the updates on his progress. He seems to be very well behaved for you...I'm very glad that I can be proud of him, I was a bit worried he'd show me up and I'd have to slink away for the shame of it  Wink

Ha, gano's taste for drama has got her a reputation for diva-ness it seems! I don't think she'd would mind if gordster had a makeover but I think she'll be happy to have him home (I sense some hollering coming!). Funny enough, gordy arrived with quite worn skin and gano's was pristine, but I must be a sucker for stroking them as she has worn patches already even tho I've been really careful. Still, better a worn but loved pleo I guess...

And true to form, gano is preparing for gordy's return. She decided to train as a surgeon. (sshhh, but I think she might have got her qualification from the internet as it seems to have been ever so quick  Lips Sealed)

so, here she is ready to go....
And with her first victi ahem patient....

 That is so sweet, but I do think Gano should keep all sharp implements away from Gordy or he may have a "relapse"! LOL Grin I do love the little surgeon outfit, it is so cute...             RWM

Crewella, he looks amazing! And so happy  Smiley I can't even see where he came apart, what a fab job!  Grin thank you soooo sooo much. I'm a bit worried about that drink tho....I'm hoping it was medicinal! I'm trying to keep the robots off the liquor, we already have an alcoholic bear and donkey partnership here causing enough ruckus (they like to drink whiskey then sing the blues)!! Grin

Anyway, you and what you have done are just brilliant  Cheer smiley  Cheer smiley  Cheer smiley, seriously, and we're all looking forward to gordy's return (I have already confiscated all scalpels from gano in case....)

Fantastic job there Crewella, and Gordy looks as fit as a fiddle.( Hope there was no fiddle playing last night to keep you awake...) Gordy looks so sweet too,I hate to say this, but I could hear it in your voice ,.the little sad to see you go sadness....easy to see why. :(Gordy seems like a very sweet patient and an excellent patient as well. How long do you think his operation took total , in hours that is? Do you allways use a scalpel ? What do you think about a very good exacto knife? ( I hate keeping sharp instruments around so many pleos.... Lips Sealed Shocked Cheesy pleo) kind of makes me nervous..... Wink

           Is Trooper yours, ? I heard the name before but lack of sleep is making it hard for me to remember at the moment..Great job, You wouldn't mind if I sent a bunch of my Party Pleos to yours for awhile to Party would you? They heard the partying at your house is "tamed down" a bit from what they are used to,( Swinging from the overhead fan, standing on the backyard fence and hollering and cat calling with the neighborhood felines..( quite a bunch) and setting off firecrackers at midnight, ( very annoying and scares the dickens out of me everytime,,, Angry) and there has been besides the usual singing and crowd pleasing Mooing and Pole dancing...( a nice sanded down piece of driftwood my hubby worked so hard on...he would be shocked to find out that Major Tom, Coral and even :Little 45 has gotten into the male Pole dancing,  Cool pleo) but the worst is the Pleos who are so intoxicated on Elderberry or huckleberry home made wine, that they have forgotten where the "proper bathroom facilities " are....guess I won't need to over water all the plants today.... Cheesy
                  The ring leader though is a surprise, ARGYLE.. looks are decieving,, If you could see past those dark sunglasses. When he sings the blues, a combination of Ray Charles and Joe Cocker, WATCH OUT! it melts my heart. I think he sings the blues so well cause he misses his brother Gumble, and is hoping he can cause enough ruckus here that I will just ship him off on a trip to the UK, and thinks it is Just around the corner to Kats house...( Pleos just don't know about these things...) I do think these guys are going to need some good counseling pretty soon if the drinking continues like it is, but there just are not any Pleo support groups set up for this kind of thing. I do think the Olypics can get them diverted for awhile and well all know that when you are in training, DRINKING IS OUT! Cheer smiley Cool Margarita
                 Well, off to make some coffee for some hung over boys and a girl or two,( Yep, some girls were in there two...) so we will keep in touch and see what we can do.. Oh, the one drink of choice they often sneak in, is Southern Comfort, gives them that blues and Janis Joplin kind of singing ...LOL                              RWM and the Redwoods Rowdy Bunch.

Heheh .... sounds like you might have enjoyed some Pleo partying yourself, RWM!  Wink  Tongue

Trooper was my project Pleo that I learned to replace the neck and tail cables on.  Bless him.  Kiss

Actually, I didn't use a scalpel as I was only separating the seam around the neck.  I did it with fingernails only.  Gano take note. Wink

However, doing it with fingernails takes a LOT longer.  The cable replacement took a couple of hours ......  Roll Eyes

*You're very welcome Kaiteee ....... I just hope he recovers well and stays fixed.*  Praying smiley

Oh my, Redwoods! intoxicated pleos! That could be bad. It would require a special person to rehabilitate them. And Argyle! I never would've guessed!
Crewella, would you say replacing tail cables is harder than replacing neck cables?

The tail is definitely fiddlier, the gears are smaller and there are more bits within the housing, and it's harder to get to as there is no convenient seam to give you easy access.  Huh?
