Have you considered making a tutorial or giving some tips? You're quite talented and it would help inspire others. If you're willing to share your secrets, of course :))

by the moment i have no figures to repaint. I have already painted all that I had. I was going to share my last photos. I should buy new figures to make a tutorial.
Thank you for your buena onda!!

Your paintjobs make these models more premium than they originally were.
And don´t laugh at me:
I had a crush on that "Terror sauro/bird  ...?" Do you know how and where I can get one?!

Thank you anyway, Mighty King! Maybe someday I´ll be lucky and find it myself. It´s so bizarre :D

Nicely done! The previous color was hideous.  :))

nice, are you using a brush or spray?  Which primer and paints do you use?
You can never have too many dinosaurs

Thank You DC!
I'm using brush, and acrylic paint

Great brush technique I wondered if it was air brushed.  Any issue with the acrylics binding to the vinyl?  I have been trying to use a final clear primer to keep things from peeling.  sometime it works but not always.  Seems to depend on the medium the figure is made of.

Just use a primer before painting and you won't have that problem. Hence the term "primer".

Thanks DC . Acrylics are not the best option but it is easy to work with. acrylics have bad adherence on vinyl , plastic or rubber objects. but I paint my figures to put them in the shelf, not for playing in the garden. so I have no problem with acrylics. I didn't use any final primer yet.  ^-^

Actually even with a primer I have had some vinyl, particularly the rubbery type peel after wards.  I have tried using Krylon and acrylic floor wax with some success.
