Les Walker, FigureMaster, repainted my Abe Lincoln for me. Amazing how much better Mat's sculpt looks now:

Wow, that's really something. Its always amazing to see how much better or worse a great sculpt can look depending on the paint job.

That's a great repaint, but isn't ole Abe looking a tad TOO sultry? :monkey3

Is that a photo of the real Abe Lincoln? j/k! Les, your repainting really brings out the life-like quality of the sculpt! :monkey5

My focus was off on this one, but it shows some of the beard work, as well as the variety in this sculpt, so until I can do a reshoot:

Thanks Gruff.
Thanks guys.
I hope Gruff gets a closeup of this one. I spent ages getting every hair on his beard done. It was a toughie! Beards. Why do they always want me to paint up beards?!?!? :D

I really like the re-paint, Congrats on a great looking figure. I wish SS put him, on a 14" body!

Yeah, I had to do the same thing. I repainted Old Abe and he looks great. I hate the ridiculously short coat that SS made though. It's so short. That makes the figure look like a toy. What a shame. Hope they correct that error in a premium format figure.
