As I have some ostrich but all males I thought it will be a good idea to turn one into a female as this is the final result.

That is fantastic!

Did you use pastels or acrylics? I have some duplicates on Schleich horses that have some paint damage and I am considering customizing them. I dabbled in pastels before, but is a lot of trouble! Razz

Kristie,

Thanks for the compliments. I used acrylics for repainting my figurines, they work better on the plastic.

Harriet,

Thanks for your kind words, this was my first attemp and I am quiet satisfied with the results.
