last CollectA leopard a little repaint

I like much, this repaint. congratulations

Thank you Caracal for this "spot the difference" game

Great rescue

thank you Fernando and Christophe! :)

The best repaints are those you don't notice . But mixing the paint so that you don't notice is usually very difficult, so well done!

thank you Roger! :)

We are in a leopard fever and I missed this topic!
I really love the way you readjusted the rosette's pattern, am I right? At least it doesn't look as messy as my model. Have you also retouched the eys?

..not at all.. I just repainted some black spots! :)

So your original version was less anarchic then mine.

Congratulations beautiful precision work

I love the way Caracal is treating to his models. Faithful to the original and just fixing the obvious flaws with gentle retouches. Look how much this leopard has improved! Being still the Collecta model we all recognize with just a glance. And without enormous amount of time spent in this case I suppose..
Really cool!

..right supposed Spacelab: 1/4h! (about)

This model of leopard is the one I was waiting for a long time. The general proportions are good, the head is not to big like on the Schleich's one with its smiling face. I think that painting flaws are not important because it's easy to repare but it's not the same thing with sculpting flaws for it's more difficult to change, even with magical WePAM paste!
Well this leopard, according to me, could be yet a little meliorated, taking off a (very!) little from each of its chops which are a little too "full " but it's a very little detail of no account at all, and I prefer keep it like that!..

Thank you Lucky Luke, Susanne and Spacelab! :)

Hard to see but really nice :)

Looking at this again, I am again surprised how good the colour match is. Unless it's black or white, I never manage to get the colour right. Do you have any tricks, for example, do you just mix primary colours?

Thank you Roger!

I have no special trick, I just use acrylic Pébéo I can find in "Cultura" store in the town I live close. For these patterns and most of fur paintings, only mango yellow, vermilion red, brown, black, and white, then it's a matter of proportions when you mix until you get the colour of the model!..  :)

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I lack the artistic talent, even for mixing paint
