My PAPO- Jaguar repaint... and finished ;)

Hi guys,
I start to repaint my PAPO-Jaguar.
This beautiful cat is half repainted now.. and I want to share with You, how  looks for now
...before I start with the dots

That`s for now...   

Just looking at it now it would make a fantastic mountain lion. But I can't wait to se it finished!

I agree, it actually looks better than Papo's mountain lion   

Like that, one can clearly see the main problem of that figurine: This isn't a Jaguar head.

No pattern originally, right?

A hybrid XD

Very nice WIP, can't wait to see it finished!

Yes, the color looks like amountain lion..but the anatomy is diferent. This stops me to make it like that. :)
PeGe, you are right...the head is not perfect Jaguar head...but still I like how PAPO made this cat.
Soon I`ll finish with repainting and I`ll show the result

Good Job!   I like this one a lot, I can't waith to see it finished   

Looks very good so far, I can't wait to see it finished!

Ok guys, I finished it .
Check this PAPO jaguar and be welcome to tell me what you think :)

Greetings to all of You :)

Wow! Beautiful painted! Very successful Congratulations, I love your photos        

Very very nice     

Astounding, great job!

Beautiful paint job! He looks amazing! It's great to see you put also so much attention to his eyes, that makes him look alive.   
And the paws are very cute   

:)) Thank you lucky luke, Ulinuk, Saarlooswolfhound, Anna :) I`m happy that you like it .

Jesus, this is so good!
That figure is a problem for me, I love it anytime I see it in a shop or here in pictures and I never bought it. I think the original pattern is good for a mass produced figure, of course nothing close to your repaint. Though, this sculpt puts me always thinking that it is more like a leopard and not a jaguar. After watching it before finished, with a less distracting color, I am not so sure that it would work as a leopard but a jaguar it is not despite your painting giving it a very convincent illusion.
I'd love to see how it could work repainted like a leopard but watching the result, it is great also that you keep its original species designation.
You're very talented, please keep us updated.

You made a beautiful job on this one   I love this sculpt and your painting enhances it a lot. Nevertheless I have the same problem than Roger, this can't be a jaguar and this is still a very attractive model   

Holy, hopping hamster ! I missed this one   

Kosta, you know I love your work, and this one confirms your great talent    

Thank you Roger, Kikimalou and Susanne for your kind words. You make me happy :)))

I agree with you Roger. First I also considered the idea that will looks better like a leopard...but the head is a bit strange... it`s not a jaguar..it`s not a leopard..
When I repaint it, I wached a lot of pics from jaguars....and actually I think PAPO make the body great. The anatomy, the posture, even the skin texture..they are so real and made it beautifully.
The only problem with that figure is the head...and I think the chin face has to be diferent. Then will looks more like a jaguar.
But still a love this PAPO figure and I ripainted with a lot of pleasure and enthusiasm.
This is what a love in PAPO wild cats : they make the animals looks alive with them posture... not static. :)
