budhha




this is the statue after my 6 days of hard work, i've used top grade hong kong gold leaves for this project. the finishing is very shining and smooth, hopefully it will not corrode again.

budhha




this is the budhha statue made of copper, as seen fromt he picture, some part of the statue turn rusty/corrosion thus parts of the gold leaf done previously came off, in order to ensure not to encounter this problem, i've got to stripped off all gold and paint from the statue to its origin and re-do everything.



bit by bit i scrapped away the exisiting paint from the statue then i de-rust it using sand paper and metal hair brush. after de-rust, i've used a very special type of solution which is called anti corrosion chemical, then after applying 4 times of the chemical, i painted another 2 coatings of oil base sealer to prevent the statue from corrosion again.

repainting job



this is the most common deity that all taoist recgonised, its the highest ranking deity name "Yu Wang Da Di" or commonly known as "Ti Gong"
this is the mini temple done by us using cement in 2005, as seen in the pics, the owner wants us to do a repainting job.
this is the finished job, i've changed some colours to give it a cleaner and brighter look, i've faked the sign board to look like stone carving, layed the inner flooring to bright red ceramic tiles and used oil paint for the roof of the mini temple.
