Yet another dino for you all. I really need to finish something in another genre. Here's my recently completed 1/20 scale Kaiyodo Anchiceratops that I purchased off Ebay a year or so ago. Airbrushed and dry-brushed with reddish browns with some grays thrown in. Would like to hear what you think works (or doesn't).

Great work, quite organic looking!

Hey Doc Brad-
I think your color choices really work well. The great thing about modeling dinosaurs is no one has actually ever seen one, therefore a lot of artistic license can be taken with the colors. Your colors appear to mimic modern similar animals and consequently give it the look of a real living creature. Well done!
:thumbsup:

 

[Dr. Brad]

Thanks guys! I've got to get a better set-up for taking pictures, though. Too much glare in some of them. Hate to think what it would be like if the dino didn't have a flat coat on it!

That is one awesome looking dino!

 

[Lloyd Collins]

No complaints from me, it looks awesome. I think the color choices are just right.

Great airbrushing skill! I love the color choices. Thanks for posting!

Looks great--I love that line of kits.

I like it too! They're not perfect by a long shot, but there are a lot of fun kits in that old "Dino Land" set of kits.

Very nice! I have trouble coming up with natural-looking dino paint jobs.

Very nice! I have trouble coming up with natural-looking dino paint jobs.

Thanks John - strangely, I have trouble coming up with incredible TOS style space station kit bashes!

 

[Xenodyssey]

That's a really nice colour scheme. Did the groundwork come with the kit or did you add it? The ferns are very effective.

 

[Dr. Brad]

Some plants came from a pet store, and the ferns from a larger plastic fern from Michael's. The kit itself didn't come with a base - I don't think any in that series did from what I've seen so far.

Gorgeous paint job!!!

 

[Facto2]

I am not a dino expert but I think the paint job looks fantastic. :thumbsup:

 

[Cro-Magnon Man]

It all works, great job, not a single detail looks wrong, and you've even made petshop plants look realistic!

 

[Jodet]

Amazing paint job. I was going to say it looks like something done by a professional, but that looks better than things you see in a museum.

 

[Dr. Brad]

Thanks all!

Dr. Brad, simply an outstanding job. The dinosaur would be jealous! As has already been stated, who knows what color the dinosaurs actually were but that certainly looks realistic. And your custom base fits it perfectly.
