Title: My first custom/repaint EVER!
Post by: PlaymoZoo on August 31, 2012, 13:51:48

Hello everyone,

I present you my first repaint ever! It's PlaymoZoo Junior ;D
When you look up close, you can see all the wobbly paint  :-\ I didn't use special paint and I didn't use anything before I started exept for some water and soap. I'm just a probie at repainting ::)

Here he is with mum:

Any paint tips are welcome!
I'm also planning to make myself a black panter cub.

Ah they are both adorable!!!!   :love: :love: :love:
Did you dismantle the animals before you painted them?
I am an amature in painting, but I use spray cans mostly, I paint in several thin coats and only lately did I start using varnish to avoid damaging the paint in the future.
I think your work is very good!  :)9 especially on the cub!!

I'm sorry for all these posts, but everytime I'm done, I come up with something new...

They look good, and Wolf Knight's suggestion of a coat of clear (matt or semi-matt) varnish is a good one.

Agree, they're great!  And that was your first? :)

Our elephant herd could use a couple of white babies...

Thank you, everyone :wave:
I really like to do it, but the problem is I also want to keep my animals original, like they were....
guess the only option is to buy more! :lol:
