IC 1012 leads a NB Q train at Ackerville. Even though it’s a repaint, it’s rare for the IC SD70s to venture north of Chicago, especially being on the point of an intermodal train

Noel Cruz is one of the most versatile & distinguished repaint artists in the doll community. He is most recognized for his character & celebrity based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray. His dolls are derived from several models like Gene, Tyler, Sydney, etc, by various doll-makers such as Robert Tonner & Franklin Mint. His repaints as well as his portraits are done with intricate detail to the point of being naturally lifelike in essence. Highly regarded among collectors and artists alike, Noel attempts to raise the bar and bring a fresh take to the common mass produced doll with every face he paints. Noel's specialty is with one of a kind repaints. The beauty of repaints is that almost no two are exactly alike just as no two artists are alike.

It's good to be home after a long trip and I've been making up for the lost time with my dolls. Remi and Minimalist Dasha arrived the day I came back but I had trouble bonding with them. After posting a FS ad and getting no replies I got one of my repainting frenzies again and the two newcomers got new looks. Remi got a repaint and hairstyling, Dasha a bodyswap to NF, hairstyling and a repaint, and Eugenia was happy to snatch up her FR2 body. She looks absolutely fabulous squared, this body just enhances the beauty of any doll that gets it.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
I didn't get him before because I didn't think the figure look good. But after watching the movie I decided to pick him up, and with a little work he can look pretty cool too. I darken the hair, the brown suit, the knee pads, and the boots. And repainted the unmasked Bucky's head a little bit. The most silly thing Hasbro did was to include an ugly red futuristic rifle that never even appeared in the movie. I trashed that right away and borrow this assault rifle from my Old Snake figure.
After cutting out her teeth, her repainting proces could begin.
This was my first layer. With the mattel head there would have already been five layers prior to this stage to match the skintone with chalk to the body.
Now it already matched I could immediately start on the eyes, lips, eyebrows, shading, blushing.
Now normally I have a certain method of repainting. I use watercolor pencils from Faber Castell and a bit of chalk, which works great on soft vinyl.
As this head at this stage turned into hard vinyl I had to change techniques.
I think the surface was kind of similar in texture to a resin doll head now. When I did the face up on my msd's I found out I couldn't use my water color pencils the way I was used to.
On the soft vinyl heads you can actually draw. Now when I did that the result looked chalky, so I faded the harsh lines with a small chalk brush.
I also used a lot more chalk, I prefer Schmincke. Like with my former Punzie's I used the pencils to make the eye shadow. Now I used chalk.
The upside to this texture is that it will be able to hold a lot more color before you have to spray another layer of msc.
You can keep continuing to build up the colors a lot longer.
At this stage I only sprayed the msc because I wanted to seal in this results because I really liked the base already and I was afraid to mess it up.
More tomorrow :)
