Customized Bengal Tiger

Along with the Safari ltd WW tiger I bought off eBay, came three other tigers - all of which were pretty rubbish. I was going to give them to my nephew but I had an idea with one and decided to remodel it a little.
So here is the model before the operation

I hated the jaw, so I removed it - and put some clay here and there as you can see in the next few images:

Then after that had dried I repainted him:

Wonderful Harriet Poppins ! I love that tiger now, thanks for the making of and again congratulation for this fantastic custom

Only cool!!!!!!!!

That is one gorgeous repaint!

Great Job! Seems this is a big project!

Harriet fantastic paint-job;
Your tiger is really lovely, the true professionalism

Gorgeous! I love it when someone sees the potential in these cheapies - he looks a million times better after your little makeover!

It looks completely different, it´s fantastic :)

Wonderful, it reminds me of Wildlife Wonders tiger, with closed mouth

Amazing

That tiger is transformed from a piece of plastic to a wonderful model, - and what is more, it is a real Harriet-tiger !
You have a special way , just like all great artists

PS I am wondering, will the clay stay attached to the plastic ? Or do you put a glue on also ?

It's a kind of magic... magic... magic... magic!
That's all!

Thank you so much friends! I'm glad you like him - it was really fun doing it
Susanne, yes the clay will stay on the plastic, it dries hard and to make it stick I applied water, this acts like a glue.

Great job on this tiger! Congratulations!!

Thank you Anna!

Great job! ww tiger smaller version!

The pose is very good!

By the way do you still have a spare one?

This is such an impressive make over... I really like the addition of the bones on the upper back. The painting is even better than the Papo tiger

Really, Really Great Work Harriet!!!!

Thanks Ken, Gabe and Larry!

Thanks in advance!

You really did an excellent job repainting! I know the smaller jobs(eyes, nose etc.) are pretty difficult to do, with that much detail! Only one miniscule suggestion, I think you should blend the hair in the ears(white area) so that they don't stand out quite as much. Other than that a job well done and I commend you on a masterpiece! Next to the Papo tiger, your repaint tiger, size wise, could be a Siberian. Thanks for posting the pics as well!

Thanks Balti! Glad you like it - yes, I'll adjust the colour in the ears, it does look too white you're right.
I've just finished repainting the Safari Puma, I'll post pictures later... :)

Is it later already?
