My Papo repaints ( JP inspired)

[waste_management]

Hi to everyone, I am new to this forum and wanted to share some pics of my repainted Papo figures. Each one got a complete repaint and i also "fixed" the tail and changed the position of the head of the Triceratops to look more like the one in the lost world ( I dont really know how accurate this is but i prefer it over the original tail-dragging sculpt )

first is the T-Rex




Stegosaurus (i liked the paint concept of the figure but I completely repainted this one as mine had a terrible paint job when i got it)




Parasaurolophus




and finally the Triceratops

These are very impressive, especially the para. Do you use an airbrush?

[MLMjp]

Very nice customs

I really like the repositioning of the head and of the Triceratops (By the way accurate Triceratops do have tails that drag a bit: http://scotthartman.deviantart.com/art/Triceratops-74215980) But yes, it makes it more "Lost World accurate".

Thank you no just several thin layers of acrylic paint.

Thanks a lot( also for the info about the tail dragging )

Very impressive, especially on the Parasaurolophus, where it's also most obvious.

Just repainted my fisrt dino figure too, to prepare for repainting the Papo Dilophosaurus. Seems I have to train a bit more with the thin layers to get the transition of colors in such a natural way as you did.

[Kayakasaurus]

Ooh I really like the Para! Great job

[Halichoeres]

Big improvements. The eye on the Papo trike always bothered me, particularly.

[AcroSauroTaurus]

They look really good!

[earth108]

Your projects are fantastic. I personally love the trike and para.

[Arul]

I love this, you make the color softer looks more realistic than the original

The eye on the Papo trike always bothered me, particularly.

Same for me. You did a fantastic job on all of them, stego and t-rex look like prototypes and trike is so much better with those tweaks. How do you operate? I would love to learn on repainting my Papos, possibly with such good results.

thank you all for the kind responses. usually i sart with a base of matte acrylic spray paint in the lightest shade of the dinos skin. after that i do some basic colors that i blend with many thinned layers of matte acrylic paint. then i do details like eyes and toes. afther this i usually try to give it a more realistic look with a last thin layer of a thinned down dark brown acrylic. last step is a matte transparent acryllic coat and some glossy details like eyes or teeth. but it took me a while and some repaints to come to a satisfying result

Parasaurolophus is awesome  .

[kreativtek]

Fantastic! I actually wish my Papo dinosaurs looked like this by default. Great job.

You're undeniably talented, keep on with your work and show us more! Would love to see Papo Allosaurus going through your make over.

Thanks to all:)

I actually already repainted it...but i did not upload any pics yet. He is my least favorite repaint as my paint sheme looks quiet unspectacular but after redoing him about 3 times and never being satisfied i kinda lost interest and gave him very basic coloration.

but here are 3 other repaints i did:

Spinosaurus ( Jp3 style)





Velociraptor ( JP1 inspired)



Baryonyx ( only a slight repaint to make it look more like the prototype)

[Kayakasaurus]

Great Spino and raptor paint job! The baryonyx really needed the help you gave it as well 

[AcroSauroTaurus]

Spino isn't exactly screen accurate (color wise) but they still look awesome!

[waste_management]

sorry, had been offline for a while. the raptor i repainted was the one with the jp3 style colour sheme... but i removed the paint and made a complete repaint on this one anyway.

[waste_management]

just got to repaint two new figures( this time not jp inspired) and startet one new T-rex i had been laying around for  some time.

Baby Triceratops



Dilophosaurus



The T-Rex isnt finished yet. I want it to look Jp1 Style and get it a little more accurate then my previous one..

[Viking Spawn]

Excellent customs!  I hope you repainted a Running Rex too!
