TIGRO, the amazing tiger, masterly repainted by Kosta :-D

Yesterday I got the most stunning parcel from Bulgaria , - it is impossible to describe it, - I'll show pictures later  

One of the awesome models models was TIGRO, - the Bengal tiger, which looks almost alive.
Kosta showed us how he made Tigro [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , in case somebody has been unfortunate to miss it

I apologize, but I just could not stop taking pictures  
And still it isn't enough to do justice to this  unique model  

First some photos that I managed to take outdoors in spite of hard wind.
Outdoors pictures show the colours best, of course  :

Not to ridicule the model, - quite the opposite, it is a fantastic model !!!!
All it needs is Kosta to work on it for some 200 hours

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, dear Kosta

Thanks, LeeAnn, - I know exactly what you mean ! I am short of words, too

Oooh, what a beauty.. I followed Kosta's tutorial and it's so wonderful to see it in your collection now! The Papo tiger is really nice, but it's just so flat and boring besides Kosta's paint work This is one of the best painted tigers I've ever seen Well done Kosta, and congratulations with this unique and wonderful addition, Susanne!

I can feel your enthusiasm in all these great pictures! I think there isn't anything over it, just top quality! I am sure, that the sculptor of this tiger had the luck of visiting this thread, would feel very proud seeing how Kosta repainted it. You have there a priceless manifestation of talent and I am sure your Museum of animal figures is the best place to that masterpiece!

It is simply a masterpiece. Congratulations to you and to Kosta.

By the way. I thought Kosta call him TIGRECO (to honor "El Greco", an incredible classic Greek painter adopted by Spain) instead of TIGRO....wasn´t it?

Oh, he's lovely... Congrats! I've always loved the tiger from Papo (inluding paintwork), but when I see his new paint, I doubt why I ever loved the origional paint.

Thankyou from Tigr(ec)o and me
