Before and after of restoring an antique crocodile.
A very dusty, faded and cracked tortoise in well need of a complete overhaul. A very large restoration project. This is an antique nile crocodile that needed some well overdue tlc. Crack, faded, broken jaw, missing claws, stitching exposed. The list was exhaustive of the things that needed fixing on this nile crocodile. So I set to work, fixed the jaw, restored missing claws, new eyes, sculpted in the missing parts on the top of the head and other parts too, also covered all the seals where there were signs of the stitching. And of course sculpting in the missing teeth and recolouring them. Then the big task of completely recolouring the crocodile again so it looks more realistic to an actual crocodile. Safe to say he looks much happier and more fierce looking!
Before and after of restoring an antique tortoise
A very dusty, faded and cracked tortoise in well need of a complete overhaul. I gave the fella some eyes to bring more life into him, got rid of all the old stitches that was used to sew him back up when he was preserved. Resculpted the head and covered the lines where it was opened up, airbrushed and recolour him. He definitely looks a lot happier!
