Imaginary "Phoenix Ranch" / Customs by Shanti

Shanti, you make magic with colours !!!

Those two Schleich horses are great, and I have had then on my shelves for a long time, - still I didn't recognice them !!!! Shocked

And even now I now, I still had to check the original, before I could see the Schleich foal behind the real, live foal playing hide-and-seek with his mom in your beautyful photos Laughing

They are just fabulous Applause

This is absolutely amazing!!! cheers

The dog was wonderful before, but now it is a masterpiece- in every photo, I thought I was looking at an alive Shiba! Shocked

I'd love to be able to repaint like you, think of all the pieces of plastic you could transform into models that look so realistic, so beautiful, and sooooo wonderful! Very Happy

It just shows that with a basic sculpt, you can make absolute treasures! sunny

I just love how you have done all the beautifully blended shades of golden, and you have made it have just the right texture- that soft, fluffy fuzz! drunken

I'm so amazed, and I'm really looking forward to seeing any future dog repaints that you do! bounce

Oooh, thank you so much friends!! It is not that special but I liked this little dog and I just tried to push its beauty a bit... Embarassed

Wonderful job Shanti! Very Happy

The shiba looks really great with this makeover cheers

Also, your horse repaints and the wonderful pictures you take of them are really a joy to watch. I don't always comment, but I'm always happy to see you update this thread and look at the beautiful little animal art pieces you created flower

Having said that, I just want to add that the life-size cat repaint is truly a marvelous piece cat

Such a beautiful makeover for the little shiba inu.

Thanks again!! I am very happy you like this cute Shiba Inu!

This tiny Shepherd really stretched my nerves... I found it in the box with the other old figurines. Both hind legs off. Found one leg but it crumbled in little pieces when I tried to drill a hole for some wire.
I sculpted two new hind legs. When finished the dog fell of the table and broke his right front leg. Evil or Very Mad

Was thinking of throwing him into the trash bin... Felt sorry for this little guy and attached the leg but reversed. Discovered it later but left him as is. Painted him. When almost finished this front leg broke again because I was holding him on this leg while painting. Stupid me!! Basketball

Reattached it carefully, didn't want to destroy the paint.
Now he is finished and I am glad I rescued him.

This German Shepherd is wonderful! cheers

I am so glad you persevered with him even after the legs broke- it sounds as though it was a real challenge but the result is beautiful! Applause

I love the step by step photos, and it made me realise that with amazing painting like yours and a basic sculpt you can still create such a realistic model! Very Happy

I love all the shades of brown and details of his face, he has that lovely brave and intelligent German Shepherd expression! sunny

I am so glad you rescued him, he's now absolutely gorgeous! cheers

Fantastic transformations!! Applause

Thank you so much again my friends! Very Happy

Took some new photos of my STS-Painting-Month-Project, my tiny Elastolin/Hausser Cougar.
Found a nice spot of big rock on kids playground, ideal for my little cat.
