Okay so I bought this really sad peacock family set…they all had major damage and huge hunks missing…chips all over and more. Sooo I decided to make a Copper Family set!
They had gotten a nice green petana (spelling?) out on the sun…when someone picked them up and started to polish down to the copper! 😉 It made such a great effect!
So here is a preview of the copper family. Mom is done *cept for some touch ups, Baby is done, and daddy is just starting.
I know its not overly P.C. to repaint these…but this family needed major love I promise!

Painted them that minty green then drybrushed copper paint on the scales. Looks amazing in person. They are soo shiny.

They look great, whippet! Almost like you could set them out in the garden to weather the elements.

Very cool! I saw them on ebay – I love the tag about if you don’t win the copperplate griffin! Very enterprising! 😆 Good luck.

They look great finished, whippet. I really like the male, and the picture on E-Bay is good. I hope you get a lot of money for them!
