Repainted wild cats by Kosta :)

It seems I have missed a topic. It also seems I have now looked through this missed topic four times and still return to ogle. These are marvellous! The paintups have an incredibly nice flow to them, and the attention to detail & use of contrast are just splendid. The grain looks novel to me coming from the model horse world, where it seems "smooth" is oft nonsensically appreciated over "alive" where paintwork is concerned - but I think it suits your models very well. I'll stop blathering now, surely you know all of this already - time for a fifth topic ogle-through for me, I think!

Magnificent. All respect to you and your talent. keep up the good work

Thank you very much E Jay :)

I go back and look at your amazing work, and say why aren't the companies that make the figures doing these kind of paint jobs?

Thank you Baltimore zoo :)
I do not want to put my repaintings on the top...or to say that I`m great painter..
but the true is, if the companies start to paint them models like that, they have to put diferent prices then. :)
And then nobody will buy them models
Only becouse for every model it`s need like 20 hours or more, to be painted...in this level.
I know , that this is a complement from you :) and I thank you for that :)
