Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

I had to post this up. i bought a full custom Jim Kelly figure from someone, and was very unhappy with the paint job. So i asked Kuato to repaint the head for me. Im just waiting for it to be posted out to me, but had to show you a before and after shot. its amazing work.
fantastic communication through out and am blown away by the picture he sent me of the end result. Kuato is a very nice guy to deal with, and i would only ever ask him to do any future paints for me.

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

thanks marf. kuato also had to lightly sand away blemishes from the sculpt as it was a bit rough in places. followed by a ace paint job i cant believe its still the same sculpt i sent him. big transformation indeed - dont get no bigger.
im going to be putting this on a hot toys caucasian body, the paint is all matched up, along with a custom yellow suit he wears in enter the dragon its going to look ace next to bruce lee.

kuato also repainted and weathered his trainers for me also. see below pic

Completely agree Aaron.

Chris does such great work and is wonderful to deal with: He repainted my James Dean and as usual, knocked it out of the park:

Has anyone heard from Kuato lately? I tried to PM him a few times to see if he could paint a head for me, but no luck

I haven't talked to him since December, but he's been around, as there have been updates to his album just a few days back...
