New colour scheme for figures

I have a Safari Leptoceratops that I'd like to get repainted with a different colour scheme as I don't like the one it came with.  The figure I'm talking about is like the one shown below.

I considered giving it the same colouration as the Safari toob Protoceratops shown below as it seems like a good fit, but I'm now keeping the Protoceratops in my collection so I can't repeat its colouration.



I also like the colouration of the Chasmosaurus shown above and am thinking I might have its colouration used for the Leptoceratops.  I'm a little worried it might not work on the Leptoceratops though.

Do you have a colour scheme you think would look good on the Safari Leptoceratops?  I welcome suggestions, I might use one for the figure's repaint!

It's an interesting question, as I was rearranging my ceratopsian shelf last night and decided not to put out this very same figure, since I too didn't care for its coloration.  I think that I'll get mine repainted sooner or later also.

avatar_Sim @Sim if you Google 'Leptoceratops' you may be able to find some inspiration. Here are a few search results with some nice colour schemes:

One day we will know the truth about Spinosaurus... but not today.

Thanks avatar_Elengassen @Elengassen!  I ended up just having the white spots in the Safari Leptoceratops's eyes eliminated and I'm satisfied with the figure now.

Moving on, I need a new colour scheme for the Mojo Mamenchisaurus.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I've already looked at Google images for Mamenchisaurus and I wasn't drawn to anything I saw...  I'm considering giving it the Invicta painted Mamenchisaurus colouration, but ideally I would prefer not to repeat an existing figure's colouration..  Also, the Invicta Mamenchisaurus is a different species to the Mojo version, so I'm not confident the Invicta's colouration would be a good match.

Maybe you could give it a bigger black-of-the-eye and see if that suffices?

Otherwise, uh. Can't really think of any good Mamenchisaurus color schemes off the top of my head. Maybe the paleoart of it by James Kuether? That looks pretty similar in terms of vibes.

Thanks T @Trenchcoated Rebbachisaur!  After getting the Mojo Mamenchisaurus, I'm content with it as it currently is so I'm not going to give it a new colour scheme!
