Repainted wild cats by Kosta :)

Fantastic work Kosta, you always make the original models feel themselves ashamed

:)) Thank you very mych Karin and Jonas :))

Hello again :)
This time I tried to repaint two mini models of tigers.
They are not from major brands...but I think , they have them charm;)

First one is a chinese model (... I think )..with no mark. With the orijinal paint job was looking very simple...but now I hope it look`s good :

Second one is a Hong Kong copie of Britans tiger (correct me if I`m wrong). As you can see, the legs are diferent from the original model, but still look`s nice :)

Thank you very much Shanti

You give made in China models new life, a new beginning, you are great.
These mini models are soooo nice!!!

Arrrhw
They are just FABULOUS  

I can believe that they are so little, and still so enormously beautyfully painted, - WOW!!!

I keep scrolling up and down, I just LOVE them

These tigers are great. I love the picture with the black panther.   I think that part of the charm of mini models may be that because of their small size, your mind fills in the details and helps them come to life.

Your snow leopard is also nice- in this case the original can be proud of its paintwork, too. My mini wild cats challenge is going to be the figures from the Wild Republic tube.

:) :) Thank you very much Karin, Susanne and Andy :) :)

Andy, I realy like your repainted minis...
and just like you, I`m also a big fen of mini models..and I know that Susanne also likes them very much :)
I can`t wait to see your new repaints of Wild Republic mini wild cats :)

Kosta your repaints are just awesome!  
Do you also paint for other collectors? :)

Kosta, you turn simple little figures in highly desirable objects! Not that I want always to say positive things but you give no chance. It is impossible to point somehting. Actually, I believe the only thing that all people visiting this topic is thinking is: - why these figures are not mine?
Well, in my particular situation it is easy... just because I was not blessed with all this talent.
I am not a huge fan of extra small figures, but roughly in 1:32 scale like these are my favorite size.

Your paintwork is beautiful, Kosta! I think the Papo snow leopard is an excellent sculpt, and your repainting has really helped it to look its best. And I'm really impressed by the level of detail you've put into the tigers, especially the really small ones. If ever I find the time and confidence, I'd love to try to follow your example. Thanks for showing us your work!

Stupendous snow leopard (have to say its my favorite, but I LOVE snow leopards), and the small china tigers are rocking their new paint job. Fantastic work again!

Wow all those three! Papo tiger too Incredible!

wow, I never would have believed that those small tigers good look that good when only the paint job had changed

So so nice words...Thank you very much friends :))

Oh my ! Your works inspire me ! Now I want to paint a tiger ! Awesome paint job ! So many details and great colouring !

I have not forgotten about the tutorial about peinting a tiger, which I promised..
just these two models were to small for that.
Soon I`l repaint again a tiger...maybe a new Shleish tiger...or...we will see...

Ok, ok I forgive you

YES ! YES !

Thank you for sharing those great photos!
Snow leopard looks very interesting, but I think it should be lighter. Or it's just «photo effect»? Anyway hope I didn't hurt you! I can't use paints at all! XD
But your tigers are AMAZING. I can't find other words, it's unbelievable!
