Uhhhh, yes !!!! Brrrrrr.. and it is still winter !

These are amazing repaints! I especially love your take on the CollecA rex. If he was actually colored like that, I'd definitely want him a lot more. He looks a lot more naturalistic.

Great repaints! Wonderful works

Great work, with your consistent repaints, these two pronghorns look perfect together. Nice work with the impala too!

great repaints Zirkoon it's the first time I like Papo Impala, the manufactory paintins ruined the model IMHO. You give it justice

Thankyou for you kind comments!
You're right the manufactory paintins of the papo Impala
ruined this Model.

Beautyful repaints

Yours is much nicer, but I still love the old one, he is just a black-faced impala

Sometimes a little subtle retouch is enough for make a figure much more realistic.

CollectA's striped hyena: grey background turned tan, even stripes ending at same level near backline turned uneven and more tapered, secondary black stripes added on belly, zebra-like stripes on legs turned into more mottled appareance

Papo snow leopard: many of you know that this figure comes with plain black spots and a gaudy-like design of stripes on tail. I corrected both things a bit to look like more as in the very different and much more realistic promo image. Also added a bit of additional black dots in face/muzzle

Mojo Fun iberian links: face repainted, inner part of legs added dots, some slight touches on body spots and tail, black added as separation between toes and as claws

I think that I should customize even more for delete these bad traces of old painting such as the blurry body spots.

Colorata Skipjack tuna: I bought a metallic blue pen only for customize it. Blue shade in upper parts for correct the abrupt ending of blue at operculum, the strange series of blue spots in caudal peduncle and the strange arrowhead pattern of the black lines of body.

There are many more figures in my collection with added subtle touches, for example the Schleich gemsbok, Mojo Fun gaur and African buffalo and CollectA springbok all have sharpened horns, the later also was a bit repainted. But with these critters that I shown in the thread is more than enough :)

Very interesting post [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]! It is perfect when you show the original and the final result and it is also very useful htat you point all changes. Some, despite the subtle differences, improved a lot what shows that a little retouch make all the difference. Obviously I like especially the Iberian lynx.

The original face of your Diana monkey almost made me spit out my drink.

Awesome repainting!

Version 3.0 is even more beautiful. What you've done with that figure is really great!

great job with the zebra!

Pardofelis, You made a great job, especially with the Grévy’s zebra

I did'nt have yet the courage to do like you did with the Grevy zebra, but looking at your wonderful result, I could try soon!

I agree with previous comments and your work is amazing, especially what you did with that zebra.

First painted the eyes darker. Much after, I added paste to the horn for make it sharper.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Caracal suggested me to smooth the horn surface for avoid these bumps with more paste. Well, instead I did it with a file in the frontal part. But the big improvement is to have changed the yellowish coat by a much more grey one:

Amazing transformation, it now looks so realistic!

A recent conversation with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] made me realize how inaccurate the paintjob of the face of Bullyland Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) was. The face is all tan, and only the muzzle should be. So I corrected it today, as well as did a more eye-pleasing shaped crescent on the chest.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And as I was customizing bears, I also took my Mojo Fun sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), this time the face have the perfect hues but the crescent of chest is very bad: very simplistic, too thin, just a wide open U. It should be more polygonal, wider and more closed. Many individuals even have it completely closed, leaving an isolated black spot in the middle. So I took my acrylics and did that:
