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.

yishun chompang guan tay temple


this is the brand new look of the horse after my 10 days of hardwork, i've used 4 days to removed the exisiting hair and old layer paint then paint the entire statue with oil base sealer, another 4 days to paint the entire horse and
2 days to paint its cloud base, joss stick holder and attach new hair to the horse statue, i've done some toning to its body in order to see and feel the horse powerful muscles and strength.

yishun chompang guan tay temple



on the left are some pictures of the "horse of guan gong" its made of cement and its as big as a live size horse, this sculpture was made by us about 10 years ago, in order to make the sculpture more lively, we even used real hair and attached onto the statue, as you can see from the pictures, the colours of the horse has worn out and most of its hair had been plucked away by crows and other birds.( thats what the care keeper told me) i'm tasked to re-vamp the horse statue and to give it a brand new look.

guan yin pu sa




On the left is the statue of "guan yin pu sa" goddess of mercy after my 5 days of make over work. i've used hongkong genuine gold leaflets for its clothing and changed some colours from its existing to give it a brighter look. the owner of the statue was very glad with the finishing as you can compare the differences from the photo before/after.
