Very nice. I remember this was my favorite dino kit when I was a kid. Of course I didn't paint mine, I was only.....never mind!

 

[Dragon Elf]

Very Nice F91. Interesting take on the Dimetradon not spelled right but anyway.

 

[Just Plain Al]

Very nice, love how you did the mottled look, and that is one sharp base. I actually opened one these yesterday but put it back on the stack (too many kits started already)

 

[The-Nightsky]

Very Good Rich!!! Looks real!!!!Love the colors!!!

 

[xsavoie]

Reminds me about the one I've done many years ago,although my paint job was simpler.Great variety of details and nuances of colors in the paint job.

 

[F91]

Thanks guys, It's great that you get the "nuances" of the paint job. I appreciate that.

Hiya Rich! :wave:

You better feed that thing.....it looks a bit hungry and p___ off!

Very nice work!

Are ya gonna cage it and hual it to Sci-Fan this year? I imagin that you will have several builds to enter.

Cool Dino!

 

[F91]

Troy, I doubt that it will be at SciFan. I need to do BETTER than that to keep up with you guys!

 

[Lloyd Collins]

Very Good! Good use of colors, and the muliti-colored base is a nice touch.

 

[the Dabbler]

Excellent job Rich. Great scales etc., very realistic. I have one of those in my to-do pile, I think I'll burn it since I saw yours !!!

Dude! If I remember correctly last year you walked away with a 1st place and a 2nd or 3rd .....don't give me that feldercarb!

 

[F91]

Troy, everyone knows your memory is all messed up!!!:freak:
Dabbler, Don't you dare!!! Any questions or advice I can give, I'll be more than happy to share. The "mottled" look on the base was done with some sponges dipped in 3 different colors. The wash to detail the base and scales was done with future and some black paint.

very very nicely done. i love the paintwork on the body and head. (personally id have gone with a little more color on the fin, but thats a matter of taste and doesnt reflect upon or diminish the effect of your piece)

does anyone know if theres another, more realistic, sculpt of this dinosaur available as a kit? (this ones better than the old pyro re-issues, but maybe kaiyodo or someone has done one?)

 

[F91]

Razor, the sail is a hybrid of the design found on a sailfish. I just added more dots. I felt if there were more color up there , the eye would be pulled away from the body. Like you said, a matter of taste, I've done the vibrant ones, just tried a more toned down one this time. Thank you for the compliments.

 

[Duck Fink]

VERY nice! I have one of these in a to do pile as well. Love the nameplate too. Nice touch. I will have to check out your other stuff as well!
