Well, I quite liked the Mojo clouded leopard in all the aspects except the lousy paint job ... so I desided to improve it myself. I think much better than the original...

Welcome on forum! Very Happy

It is great to have a member from Israel in our forum. cheers

Yes, we all agree, Mojo clouded leopard has an excelent sculpting, pose and texture, only the painting doesn't give it justice. Better the artist than the factory. Very Happy

You really gave to the figure what it needed. A realistic painting! Congratulations for your work, thanks for showing and I hope we have the chance of seeing other works from you! :)

Well, some years ago I did some sculpts myself, but it was in the times when there was an acute lack of fresh animal figures. Now, when Mojo is here and Collecta is doing fine job (somehow I think Schleich lost here some ground, I don't now maybe It"s a management thing) I've let my natural laziness to take over Smile

and repainting some animals only when it desperately needed, (like in this leopard case).

Tnx

... I think it's with me for some time already, from the age of 5 I think... there was some 20 years pause but who cares Very Happy

, now I'm a proud owner of some 200 odd collection of Mojo, Collecta, Papo, Bullyland and Schleich figures.

Thanks... wow that's a hell of an upgrade you did to this figure. Chapeau! Applause

Welcome on forum Chewbacca! cheers

Is that your first repaint? I find pattern on Clauded leopards' fur as one of the most complicated to paint, among the animals figures, so you took real challenge Smile

We hope to see also more photos of your collection! Very Happy

Not the first, but the biggest. Before this one i did only minor color improvements in some figures.

Walking with a clouded leopard is something quite unusual but I already did it with mine! Laughing

I love unusual things. Very Happy

It would be great to see these better pictures if you have the chance. :)
