Figarti Lee Repaint.. (1 Viewer)

[maddadicus]

I make no claims to being a great painter, but when I received my Figarti Lee, I felt that it was too washed out for my paint tastes..The double picture shows my K/C Lee next to the Figarti..The single prints would be the same Figarti repainted..Michael

Very impressive. It even retained the weathering.

Weathering is something that I have to get a feel for . More times than not, it usually works out for me..Michael

I have learned a lot about weathering in the Flames of War forum. Keep it up Michael

Excellent repaint. Your new weathering looks great.

Love the repaint and weathering.

Thanks guys for your congrats. In the past, a mfg. drab paint job would keep me from buying a vehicle that I really wanted. But recently, I have decided to paint over what I do not like and have been happy with the results. Most of my buying other mfg. offerings depends whether they size up in scale or color scheme, even if I have to repaint them to match..Michael

That is a really nice repaint. I have to say, I admire your ability and guts. I am too much of a wuss to try to repaint my stuff (I have 1 or 2 that could be done). I just don't trust myself and fear tampering with these expensive toys. Nice job. -- lancer

Very nice work. You are right that being able to paint/repaint really opens the doors on possibilities for scenes, etc.

Keep up the good work.

What a terrific talent you have there. Your results are production line quality, can't tell its a repaint, not amateurish at all. I have neither the time, talent and guts to even attempt revising my expensive toys!

Cheers

Wow Michael. I must say your repaint is better than the original, IMHO. It appears you have an innate talent to go along w/ the interest we all share. Thanks for sharing your artistic achievement w/ us! If you are inclined to pursue any other repaints, please share w/ us once again! I tell ya, I don't know if I could muster the bravery needed to repaint any of my beauties, but good job on doing so yourself! I think my first repaint will be a FOV vehicle, and I can only hope it comes out half as nice as your Figarti; it really is that good.

My first repaint was a F.O.V. Stuart. I wanted to try to K/C it with extra stowage and copying the same color scheme as the Normandy Stuart. Came out OK and I eventually sold it on Ebay. The buyer liked it alot..Michael
