Martin Garratt works (before - after)

Hello everyone,

I present here some figurines (from my collection) repainted by Martin. Martin Garratt for those who do not know him is an artist whose reputation for assembling kits (dinosaurs) and painting has extended far beyond the borders of the United Kingdom where he lives. Tell me your opinions.

Wow, stunning repaints, he is an amazing artist and has included so much detail!

This job of repaint is esplendid.

Martin is surely a very talented Artist. All the works are very serious and beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us with before and after, it is always very illustrative.

Love what he has done there with those four Bullyland ones, I'm tempted now to get a spare Spinophorosaurus to paint (and perhaps update a bit anatomically) while keeping one in its original state.

Hi,

Thank you for your opinions. If Martin visit this site, it will certainly be delighted with this positive feedback.

Lovely transformations!

Phantastic

Beautiful repaints!

Hi,

Here are some other past pieces in the hands of Martin. Judge by yourself.

anyone who visits the DTF knows Martin's lovely handywork.

Say, wouldn't this thread be better under the 'Customs' board?

The Saltriovenator looks so good in brown, showing once again how good Matthias Geiger's sculpts are when they have a paint job that they deserve.
The stripes on the Citipati are also quite pretty, especially combined with that blue around the eyes.
It's interesting to me to see how the Schleich Anhanguera looks, as I plan to paint that one as well, a realistic paint job like this really does it a favour.

I'd say this thread works equally well in "Collections" and "Homemade and customised figures additions".

Hi,

Here is the last Martin's work for ITOY Studio Deluxe Paraceratherium Model :

Very fine repaints again, I ahve a special bias for this one

  me too!

He really made that Paraceratherium pop, the pink depigmentation, dusty brown between the wrinkles and new colour for the hooves add so much to it, it shows in an amazing way that even a "bland" colouration can still be improved upon.
The base is also fantastic, the animal tends to be depicted in dry deserts but in reality that was the environment that caused it to get near extinction as this rhino was in fact a rain forest animal, similar to today's Asian elephants, that said the depigmentation on the underside makes so much more sense for the colour scheme as it wouldn't need skin as thick as an African elephant's.

Hi,

Here is another remarkable work of Martin that I wanted to share with you. What do you think?.

The image before comes from the web (I no longer thought of taking a photo before "transformation") :

That is sooo cool!
It gives the Dino Hazard figure such a different vibe, I love it.

Happy New Year everyone !.

Thanks and happy new year to you too! That's a completely surprising release for such a new company. It is also wonderful that several brands are using the same scale, I think they all win with it.

Thanks and see you next time

Wow!! These are all so amazing! My favorite is the giganotosaurus and then the two aquatics right after it. The dappled shading on the aquatic models is so realistic! I think the base on the Himalayasaurus is especially well done
