Thanks col!

So, I have some good pics now, thanks to Jo at AEROGRAFFITI Airbrush Artwork and Custom Painting by top UK airbrush artists Jo Taylor and Mark Humphrey.
Absolutely fantastic job she has done on this.

Looks different, the teeth on it are awesome!! I dabbled with some washes etc on mine but didn't like the look so left them clean chrome.... I think I'll try airbrushing a little Tamiya smoke around the edges after seeing those.
 
Thanks Python, yeah anything you can do to improve it, go for it. It's an absolutely fantastic bust just a shame about some things on it which Sideshow should of done better.

Col, erm, think a few times the price of the bust. Quite pricey. I fell in love with this bust though and really wanted it to be even better. If I got hold of the 1:1 I'de do the same, but I would do a few things a bit different. Would definitely get Jo to do it again.
 
Paint jobs like this are expensive simply due to the time and effort that goes into them. A good paint app is worth every penny though as it can really bring something to life. The tendons look so much better now they are filled in and blended a bit, I will get around to doing mine soon.
 
Wish you could be like..."So SS, it cost X amount for me to "fix" this bust. So I would you like to be refunded the difference."
 
The colours on that look quite striking, it looks like you've used some photoshop filter or something? My repainted one is being delivered to me today so I'll have some pics of mine up later too.

Just to get an idea of how much the HDR action changed the pic.
The effect is a grouping of layers above the original photo, which for all the ones I attached I had the effect set to 55%.

Here is one of your photos alongside itself after the action is applied and left at 100%.

Yours looks nice enough to begin with HT2K. Mine has awful QC, I begrudged keeping it for a long time. But after the farce of the Big Chap lsb, it has grown on me. I've fixed the teeth up for starters (Going to do more down the line) And I have it displayed up high away from me, as long as I don't get too close to the point where I start to see all of the chips and scratches it looks pretty damn awesome.... Really cool in fact!
