Now it´s better match the Penguin from Schleich

Great job, you made a huge improvement on these figures. I hate my papo panda because of its eyelashes, now I may "fix" it.   

@Saarlooswolfhound: Thanks and Good Luck!  

Great repaints!

Good work   

Great improvement !!!   
They look so much more like the real animals now !

Thankyou very much for sharing

Good job      

Oh, what superb work you have done! I especially love how you have altered that Panda, and certainly for the better! He now has such a happy smile on his face!

Great black & white repaintings!
Brands often paint eyelashes or eye rings on pandas to highlight the eys of the animal from the black patches, though, I find it not realistic and contributes to a very toyish looking of the figure. Fortunately nwere pandas don't have it, I guess.
Though, my niece likes it, what surely helps explaining that decision of the brands.
Keep showing your works!

Beautiful job! I love that awesome panda    

I have the old schleich polar bear pair twice. Have you any ideas for a new painting?
Maybe Syrian Brown Bears?

It was nicer if you tried it with the mold of a brown bear. Polar bears have a different head/body shape that will probably distort the good looking of your repaint. Though, who knows? It may work.

They look so good with their new paintings :)

@SyLoBe: Thanks

From a house cat to a caracal - step by step

First I cut off the tail:
[Hier im Bild ist der Ursprungs-Schwanz noch mit dabei, ich hab ihn dann später aber abgemacht, weil er nicht gehalten hat, wie bei der anderen Katze, die aber noch kommt]

finish with the model and starting with the ground-painting:

the ears are also new, because a Carakal has got pointed ones:

(seemed to be a fishing cat, maybe she/he needs a better face...)

The serval looks amazing!

Interesting work with the caracal.
It is not a serval but in Portugal and Spain, we traditionally call serval to all small wild felines, from wild cats, to Iberian lynxes. It is interesting once there aren't servals here. ... and do you know the Chap Mei figure? It is a hybrid between both species.

I´m sorry! I don´t know a lot about "cats". Anyway, it really looks pretty well :)

Ah, thanks for the explanation Roger, sorry SyLoBe  

The fishing cat is finish, maybe I could share some photos tomorrow
