1/1 Mini-Me in progress

[streetjudge79]

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

[streetjudge79]

No. There is No way to do it. I'm painting them.

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.

True, masking is a *****! . Berger, I fixed the tan issue, how's this now?

 

[killerbee]

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!!
