STS model painting month - a place for photos of your finished projects.

Very pretty!! Very nice looking Cheeta!!

What a beautiful, detailed Cheetah- it looks so realistic, and all those tiny spots on such a tiny model- you have such a talent for painting these vintage big cats to look alive!
And thank you so much to such kind STS friends: Alain, Jill, Roger, George, Shanti and Anna!

Incredible detailing, as always - your thread of repainted tiny big cats was one of the first custom painting topics I read on this forum, it's nice to see another addition to the group!

Wow, beautiful cheetah! Great details and I just love the way you painted the pattern! Congratulations Caracal!

many thanks to you all Shanti, Bonnie, George and Ana!

Yay, more new finished repaints Congrats on finishing this months challenge as wel

It is so much fun to see that each one has their different style. The cheetah is very smooth and elegant in its newly painted coat while the collie with its long fur has a lot of depth layers to enhance the fluff!

Also, the numbat looks really proud of its new colours in that last picture :)

Thank you so much A-J!

Thank you Anne-Joke! :)

Ana, I miss technical lexic to explain you how I am impressed by this wonderful bison, all the shades you  softly mixed to obtain such a result all over its body!

Thanks so much, Caracal!

You are all so talented! Congrats!

Bonnie, I wonder why wait for a brand to make a perfect collie, while it seems you can make it on your own. The Bonnie model is great!

I bow to the master; your collie, Lilias, makes mine look very sad!

Alain, that cheetah is gorgeous!

Bonnie, your paint job really brought out that collie! She looks wonderful! REALLY great job, I can't stop looking at mini Bonnie.

And Caracal what a splendid cheetah too! Amazing details on such a small model, it looks great!

here is my giraffe, to join all of these spectacular animals ! what a wonderful collection and so exciting to see all the finished ones, and I've read so many excellent tips
thank you for letting me join in:) it has been fun

I'm very impressed by the attention to detail. Bonnie has done such a wonderful job with her collie, I love the soft warm eyes! her dog looks so alive, well done! and I love the bison especially with the mud? on the rear legs, the imperfections which make it original ! and the hint of a wet nose and shiny eye and soft sheen on the horns, excellent work Anna:)
and oh! I love the cheetah, so magnificent, how exquisite, especially because I love the 1/32nd scale and to have such a tiny piece of artwork in the palm of your hand, it's wonderful Alain!
The soft subtle spots on the cougar is wonderful, I love that fine detailing! and it has such a pretty face to match the ears that seem to be listening from behind:)
The colours on the numbat are super, so rich and I love the coat pattern, the numbat looks so delighted, well done ! I like how subtle the Fennec Fox's coat is, and his expression is super with the shading by the tear line! Especially with his other litter mates, they look great together.
The quagga is excellent, with the distinct colouration in brown and the subtle shading, what talented work for sure !
And the remake of the collie is great - changing the body shape so much from the original mould into one with weight and shape, and I really like the white dash on the back of the coat, and the face is framed so nicely with the markings !
It's been great to look at all these wonderful transformations !

What a handsome giraffe! Such a unique color, what a great specimen you worked from. Very nice work.

What a beautiful giraffe! I'm so happy to see it finished!
Congratulations Sunny! And thanks so much for painting with us!

Thank you Sunny for your words which tell so well what I would like to tell too! :)

.. and above all, big congrats for this so beautiful, real, detailed and special giraff!

Thank you Spacelab and Pipsxich for your words!!

Such a beautiful Giraffe Sunny, wow! Every marking is perfect and it looks so realistic, I can definitely imagine him walking over the African plains!
And thank you so much Spacelab, Kelly, Paige and Sunny!

Oh, hello giraffe, he looks beautiful all finished. A very nice mould you've chosen, and all the more special as a tribute to an individual you're very attached to, rather than just as an example of his species.

I created a photo collage of all the finished projects You can now also see the mascot of the event - painting sloth - designed by Anne-Joke!

Thank you all so much for participating! We have 10 finished projects from the initial 16 (and 2 more are getting close to finishing too). That's more than a half, I would say it's great!
Congratulations again everyone!
We are in the process of designing congratulations cards for you too
Special thanks to Anne-Joke for her artistic help!

Some statistics?

Surprisingly all of the finished models represent mammals, almost all extant (only one extinct). We have one marsupial, 4 ungulates, 2 felids, 1 fox, and 2 dogs The most popular species of this year's painting month was a domestic dog, specifically a Rough Collie

Thank you for this wonderful work Ana!

This is beautiful! I love this collage, and the placement of all the photos- they complement each other so nicely!
And such a beautiful, colourful and characterful sloth by A-J- I love him, and the perfect mascot for this event!
Most of all the competition was so fun, and also a brilliant idea- so thank you very much for organising and running it! And I'm looking forward to more events like this in the future!
