Show us your Customised/Repainted models !

It's nice to see so many great repaints and customs. I like them all. Congrats everyone

Meet my newest custom, Mr. Furry the Caucasian Shepherd Dog. This little boy was originally a yellow labrador by New-Ray. I repositioned his tail and head and added the fur. He is my first dog with this technique.

That's a really nice repaint! Brings out the best in that sculpt, I find. And well, the hooves - she could always have white coronets, etc., to justify the hooves.

Thank you, Lea! I'm so glad you like it! In fact I noticed the wrong color when I added the pics.  But yeah, maybe you're right!

I repainted a Mojö gaur. :)

I have to say I've gone through this entire post and am really impressed with everyone's customs.  They are true works of art and huge improvements over the originals.

I've tried some custom work myself, but it's not something I do to often, mostly to make certain breeds that interest me.  These are a Landseer made from the Bullyland Newfoundland and an Ibizan Hound made from the CollectA Greyhound.

Great work. I love your Ibizan Hound.

Great work with dogs and also woodpecker. You're both very talented.

WOW !!! An Ibizan hound

It is a much better Ibizan model than Greyhound ! Ohhhh !

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , a very beaytyful woodpecker also

And BC, sorry, I completely forgot everything else for the Ibizan, - the Landseer is wonderful also

Ibizan is awesome!!!

They are all great, - perhaps I love the cat most. What an improvement

O those are beautyfull
from all of you the wood pecker the cats en dogs, love them all

Wonderful new coats of paint everyone!

Repainting and customizing my animals is part of my collecting hobby.
Most repaints of mine are just to improve a bad factory paint job, like the Papo big cats.
Or to make new species out of them, like the Schleich foxes and Collecta peregrine.

Just a few examples:

And my new secret pleasure: Dinosaurs!
Because you can go all crazy on them colour wise.

CollectA feathered T-Rex deluxe.
(I gave him rooster "plumage". Now it really is one big chicken!)

Simone? So many secrets? Oh, I love your repaints... all of them! I like the way you used these foxes and I like even more the way you used these falcons. Though, I wished I had a Papo crocodile painted as yours! It is all what that figure needs to be almost perfect!
About the rooster rex, I always wonder how a Tyran could look colored like a rooster and you did it. I suspect you did it for fun but I am seriously convinced that it is not far from reality and surely these prehistoric monsters were more like chickens than like lizards.

Thank you Roger.
I have totally embraced the fact that dinosaurs had feathers.
They look so much better with a nice coat of fuzz.
In fact, I feel like a peeping Tom these days looking at "old school" dinosaurs.
...
"SOMEONE GIVE THOSE DINOS A BATH ROBE!
THEY ARE NAKED!!!!!"  

Wow, Simone, those are some gorgeous repaints!!
I'm particularly impressed with the amazing plumage on T-rex, it looks so much better now! I hate the OF paint job on this model, I couldn't even see how good the sculpture was, because of the horrible original paint scheme. Now, you gave him life and it looks wonderful!! What a progress!

All of them are really beautifully painted, congratulations

Simone  You need to share more secrets with us my talented friend

Now I want walkarounds

Is it me or you chose a Brian Franczak's coat for your Dilo?

Thank you Ana.

This is the picture I snatched from the internet and used as my example.
I have no idea if it's a Mr. Franczak original or not.
