My first custom/repaint EVER!
« 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:




the other side:


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!!

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? :)
