| Thank you George, Jill, Roger, and Kelly! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], I use a metallic pearl color for anything with a sheen (like my pike and this bird). And I wondered if anyone's mind would go to the fantasy animal... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], your words on my bird customs especially mean a lot! Birds are HARD. Reptiles are harder for me, but I need to work on both groups. Thanks for the encouragement! @ Kelly, I forgot to thank you here for the model project! I am quite pleased with how it turned out, more interesting than just flat brown. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| They turned out great once again, I especially like the birds. I plan to make a similarly coloured kingfisher soon but with the Papo figure. |

| Thank you Andreas, Taylor, Burger, and Nando! It is a Nayab copy I think, softer plastic than other Nayab birds I have. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Beautiful repaints with those colourful birds! And a Kelpie, what a fantastic idea!! It would be wonderful to have more models of this breed! Your repaint is amazing, you have painted those kelpie colours and markings so well and the Bullyland model was definitely great to use for this breed! I love him, those eyes are so good too, full of the breed's intelligence! |

| Wonderful What material do you use to paint your figures? Some of them look like you use a waterproof crayon or something like that. |

| In fact, I made a Peruvian Pelican from a different Nayab figure as one of my first repaints. As such, it does look rather rough, but at least recognizable. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Thank you Luke!
Birdsage, your pelican is very nice also. Funny how we all came up with this species around the same time. Perhaps you could open your own repaints topic since you have completed a few at this point. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Next pair are done! Here is the before shot: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]First, the bear I have had for years and have almost gotten rid of it dozens of times... glad I kept it. It is now a sun bear. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And the chest patch [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Next is the other spacelab model (thank you again!) of a really beat up border collie. I love this kind of merle, and for me it is now an older style Aussie dog (though borders can have this coloration also). Kelly, let me know if it better fits a Border or Aussie and I can adjust accordingly... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]He looks a little cross-eyed here... might have to fix that.

| He's gorgeous! He could work as either, though he seems to have more substance than I'm used to seeing in BCs- I'd stick with Aussie. He actually reminds me some of a childhood Aussie. You could also call him a Hangin' Tree dog (a ranch that has a well known line of Aussie/BC cross working cattle dogs)
Do you have a brand for this model? I wouldn't mind finding one. |

| Beautiful repaints again, and what a stunning merle colour for your Aussie! So much detail with the delicate combination of the blacks and greys, like in real life when you see a dog like this I'm sure he will stand out a lot on your shelf! Such a transformation from before, and I love the eyes! |

| Amazing repaints and such a delight to see the "wounded" doggies in their new beautiful life. I was sure you would do a great job with them. :) They are so cute, I love them!! |

| It works so well as a sun bear with that long snout. The Australian shepherd turned out really cute. |

| What a good job you hung on to that bear after all, he looks wonderful now. Some animals just sit around for years and years, til we have the perfect idea to turn them into something we can treasure :) The merle pattern is brilliantly done, you've managed to make it look true to life rather than like paint, if that makes sense when it is paint |

| Great transformations. I don't know whether the dog looks cross-eyed, I thought his eyes make him look like a very friendly faithful dog. |
