Painted Leonardo Farley Bust

Hello again guys, long time lurker at the forums but not often a poster. I wanted to share this with you guys now that it is completed:

You might remember me for my YouTube obsession collection of TMNT. Well, I've managed to snag me one of these gorgeous statues and fix it up. I'm more-so a miniature painter but I've done large-scale pieces like Windstone Editions many times before. When I found this A.C. Farley piece I was completely stoked. I didn't even know they made sculpts of the TMNT other than the usual Sideshow or cold-cast ones. So naturally I just HAD to give this a go and repaint it (I got it in very bad shape).

Anyway, I also show progress videos on it via YouTube so you can see how I went about painting it. It's also up on ebay if you want to see still photos. I should have also shown vids of the condition it was in when I got it but I didn't even think about that. But at least you can see it after I stripped and fixed it, plain white primed and in 360 view. I had trouble with some areas because I couldn't find anybody else that had painted one before or any other photos on the web to help me out other than the standard box picture, but I worked it out eventually.

I really wanted to capture the true nature of honorable Leonardo. I wish they had made all the turtles.
