    Jul 16, 2011 - 1/1 Mini-Me in progress #1

    I'm repainting this little guy for one of our members. This is the factory paint job on it, it's a great sculpt, but a lifeless factory paint job. I've got about 1.5 hours into it so far , starting on the skin tones, then the suit.

    Here is the "Before" Pic




    And the "Progress" pics

    Huge improvement on the paint upgrade & the likeness of Verne Troyer is really good on that statue.

    Must have been fun painting the suit behind the hands.

    It would be even better if there was a way to get an actual cloth suit on the statue.

    I am the lucky owner of this piece. I have to say SJ is as nice to deal with as he is talented which is saying a lot. He sends pics every step of the way and is open to suggestions. He really went out of his way to make me happy, and I appreciate that greatly.

    Man, every pic he posts it just gets better and better. It's been a lot of fun seeing this little guy come to life. Anyone with a bust is CRAZY not to send it to him if you are looking for it to be painted correctly.

    Thanks for everyone's comments as well!

    This piece completes me!!

    Man those first two pics do NOT look like a statue at all. That is freaky.

    Thanks a million SJ!
