    GESTERN WAR'S Promotional Leaflet - RESTORED !

    Some time ago the Megomuseum presented an old promotional leaflet for the German version
    of the Lion Rock WWII line (see here: http://megomuseum.com/community/show...motional-Piece).

    I had this leaflet since 1977 and it is in poor condition. It had tape on it (because it was falling apart),
    text is scribbled on it, there are lots of scratches all over it, etc etc.

    BUT: I recently found a small box accompanying my childhood figures that contained pieces of a second leaflet!
    It wasn't much, just a few of the small pictures of the figures that I had cut out from another leaflet back in 1977.
    This gave me the idea of doing a "digital restoration" of the leaflet, replacing some of the damaged parts by
    those additional pieces and then carefully retouching the whole thing, removing the damages as good as possible.

    This was a lot of work! And so far I only did one side of the leaflet (and I will probably not do the other side).
    Here is a small preview (scroll down for a link to a larger size version):

        Fantastic.
        This was my all time favorite line.
        Thanks for all your hard work.

          I have a couple of those in French boxes, which say "Once Upon a time..."

          Great figures, not so easy to find...
