Hi All

I picked up the Tamiya original Stegasaurus recently and decided to build it next since I haven't done a dinosaur for years. It's a simple build with just the seams to sand/fill. I did open the mouth to add a bit more interest.

However I been wondering what colours to paint and decided to testbed in photoshop different colour styles before I paint it.

Does anyone else do this?

The second version isn't finished yet and of course after weathering the colours wouldn't be as vibrant...

It just came to me while I was thinking about the colour scheme and starting searching through lizard photos...Why not use Photoshop to test them.
