Another group of repaints done when I was young. This, apart from the blue one, is a mythical German bus fleet. The livery was not based on pre-nationalisation PMT colours, but rather to match some Wiking 72s Büssing Trambus Senators which were also part of the fleet.
The top three are by Hammer, then a Matchbox no.12 Setra coach, an Ikarus 66 (strange in a West German fleet!) and a Corgi Juniors Mercedes-Benz minibus which seems to have Wiking wheels. That explains a wheel-less but otherwise mint boxed 72s I unearthed a while ago.
The numbering is odd, maybe based on what was left on the Letraset sheet. The blue bus is a crudely shortened Hammer bendy bus, in a colour scheme seen on a real vehicle in 1973.
I have now found the rest of the fleet! Six are by Wiking, photo here: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/52536800747 and there is also an EKO Pegaso coach (with Wiking wheels): www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/10765244513 and a Norev Saviem coach: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/53415710412

Noel Cruz is one of the most versatile and distinguished repaint artists in the doll community. He is most recognized for his character and 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 and 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.

I bought one more rare appeal to repaint the face and donate the body to my beloved heatseeker Nat. So i first swapped the bodies , and then i gave Domi a partial repaint (lips,irises,cheeks, toned down eyebrows and a beauty mark) .i wanted to go for nude lips but i discovered that they need to be somewhat defined, otherwise she looks totally botoxed,lol!
So i went for a quasi nude -natural brownish, and light grey-blue for the irises.
Problem is that now i like her and i want to give her her body back. But i also looooove Nat on it. So... i thing i need a third body... Heeelp, this will never stop!!!

repainted in sea nymph in mind. using allot of realistic aspects yet keeping in mind with the mh themes very fish like eyes. with added upper and lower lashes a rosy tone to the nose and cheek areas. with more natural toned freckles to the face to pop a bit more. she has a golden head band added to the face itself giving a more regal style hair can be styled up or down. More feathered on the brows. seas blues and greens on the eye creases then onto a soft sea green in the blue family fabric with lots of beading a metal closure in back and a fire glass stone in the center of the dress its done knee length.
I guess it counts as an enhancement since I only removed the lipstick that was above her lips and added some color here and there.
Taking off her makeup was not fun. I used nail polish remover, and it just smears all over rather than lifting off easily. It eventually came off. I drew her new face on with layers of water color pencils, spraying coats of msc between layers.
