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!

Noo Anasta, you didn`t hurt me :) And thank you very much for your kine words...and for your opinion
about the snow leopard.
These cats have diferent colors...some of them are lighter and more gray..but some of them has more dark colors
and more ..let`s say ``OCHRE`` on them.
I`ll show you one photo for example :

Thank you for photos! I just looked some photos of snow leopards when I've gote mine one by Papo, and they were lighter :)
But it's ok about color now, so your repaint is awesome too
I dream how I can paint my figurines like you

Thank you again :)))

Hello again from Bulgaria :)
One more cat came to my family of repainted wild cats.
This time I`m presenting to you the beautiful ..and BIG.. model of cheetah by Safari wonders.
I like this model a lot. But only like sculpture....
For model in this scale, the paint job is quite ``scanty`` and poor.
So I tried to improve it...and I hope you will like it :)

Ok, first I`m gonna post 2 photos of the original color. Most of you know this model very well,
but perhaps , for some new members will be interesting to see it :

After so so many spots..now my eyes are like this :

Please, feel free to share your opinion and advices with me
Thank`s for watching :)

...And I have one polite request for help...maybe from Roger or Christophe..?
I have a problem with my photos of first 3 tigers, which I repainted and posted on first 3-4 pages in my topic. I can`t see the photos...like, they are gone. Is the problem from me only..?..I mean , can you see the photos..? Or is it a temporary problem...or something else..?
Thank you for the help :)

Oh my god!   This can't be a repaint that must be true! I can't say more, that's just awesome!

A new jewel

Thank you very much Bryan and Bonobo :)

WOW, what you did! You're always surpassing all my expectations! This time I was not even ready to see how good the sculpt was originally. It is also hard to tell in some pictures if we are seeing a real cheetah or not. You don't have a toy anymore, now you have a masterpiece! Honestly, it is hard to express what I feel anytime I see a new of your repaintings.

About your tiger pictures, I am not seeing them either. I edited your posts to see your links and I also can't see these pictures when linking directly to them. It is even more worrying when I see that you used the image housting service of the forum.
I hope they're not lost, maybe it is better to wait and see if they show again. Mainly when a new maintenance is performed on forum. If not, I hope you still have them once we cannot loose your works, they are some of the aex libris of our board. :)

:)) Thank you very much for these kind, nice and warm words Roger :)
I realy appreciate it :)
And thank you , that you checked my problem...
I checked also my old topics of other repainted models...and unfortunately the pfotos is missing also
I don`t know what is the problem... ?!?
Ok...when I use the image housting service, to post photos here, after that I delete them from there...
Is this can be the problem? But also these new photos, which I posted now....after that I deleted them from there..and we still can see them here... ..I don`t know..

About your pictures, I still can't find a solution. Maybe we have a storage problem I can't solve

I saved your last pics on my computer and we will see. Nevertheless, it is safer to use a place like Photobucket or Flickr to host your pics and paste them here. The direct uploading is not very good on STS

Now... Your new Cheetah is again a masterpiece of cruelty and I have to ask you to stop hurting Macaque's heart and brain... It is not fair!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

Where did you get the real cheetah?
If to say seriously, your repaint is awesome, wonderful, beautiful, amazing... I can't find any words!

We are all out of words Kosta, your repaints are absolutely stunning!
That cheetah, those nails, the fir, the eyes/face, just perfect!!!

After reading some Forumotion help threads about misssing pictures on SERVIMG, I concluded that they cannot be retrieved.
Forumotion is the forum hosting service we use, SERVIMG is the pictures hosting service that Forumotion uses. They are independent. Some foruns even lost their layout images and buttons, fortunately our forum is working normally but it is a big loss when some topics are missing pictures because of this issue.
So, to retrieve your pictures, the only way is to upload them again and the best way to prevent that it happens again is to prevent to use SERVIMG. We (admins) don't have any way to manage SERVIMG and try to retrieve your pictures. Photobucket is a good solution, I don't use it, I like minor services but I don't recomend them because wen they don't succeed, pictures are also lost. :)

Thank you very much guys :)
Christophe, baltimore zoo, Anasta, Karin :) Thank you for your great admirations to me and my cheetah :))
And thank you Christophe and Roger, that you trying to help with my problem and to find a solutions.
I realy appreciate it :)
I keep all my photos, so one day I`ll post them again

HOLY HAMSTER !
