You can do an early-man with skins(leather) running!!

Could be funny!!

Nice choice Ian.

Polux

 

[Guest]

You could reposition the legs on the ''Rex'' so it has a more horizontal body stance, would save it from looking like Godzilla then

Looking forward to seeing this progress, there's lots of options eh?

 

[Ian M]

it can well be there are not many parts but I think that the painting is going to be the high point in this one...

if you think it hard finding good reference pictures of a WWII tank or aircraft..... have fun finding some for these........lol

[Guest]

Good point Ian, were they self coloured or camouflaged ?... We've discovered preserved skin so can guess what it looked like but what colour it was is still unknown.

Old saint Ian's got a lot to think about here

 

[papa 695]

Plenty of artistic licence me thinks on these. There are plenty of pictures on the internet, but like you all have said no one knows what they really looked like colour wise

 

[Guest]

I'm a big believer that animals could have been coloured same as today's ..... So if i were to do this scene I'd be inclined to have a colour/pattern similar to grazing/plains herds for the 'trike' and a spotted/striped 'big cat' look for the 'rex'

 

[papa 695]

Got them put together ( dry fit ) just to see what they look like

Not glued the head on yet need to work on the mouth to get rid of the joint line and it also makes it easer to paint the mouth View attachment 71154

Also been working on the T-Rex. Like Colin said needed to change the stance to stop it looking like Godzilla View attachment 71155

That's what it looked like before and now after View attachment 71156

Lovely jubbly ..... Nice chopping about skills there Ian

You know what do look good a dio with the T-Rex peeking through some trees and bush, or just bursting through after it has ambushed the Trike, hence the stance and startled look on the Trike's face. Great adaptations Ian, lovely work so far.

[Ian M]

Looks interesting this. I have thought about one or two of these dino kits in the past and looking at these two, I could be tempted one day.

[papa 695]

Ooops forgot to mention the blob of white tac is there to stop it being a tail sitter, it will be placed inside the head

Ian M get some you know you want too

 

[Guest]

I'm going to have to be geeky again ......

Fossilised herbivore dung from the late cretaceous period, of which the tyrannosaur and triceratops were still active, contained at least five different types of grasses.

The evidence comes from finding tiny crystals (phytiliths) ... These grow in plant cells and can survive digestion.

The evidence was confirmed by an C. Stromberg who is an expert in phytiliths at the Swedish museum of natural history.

The grasses have been confirmed to have been several metres tall.

I'm going ( try ) to change the head so that it's chin is horizontal to the ground giving it a looking forward roaring type look

The body is more in align when moving, keeping the centre of gravity around the hips, so head, spine and tail are roughly in alignment.

[Guest]

Nice idea .... Could you cut a 'v' out the neck, then reverse it so the thick ends t'other way round making the head look up, it'd fill the gap almost spot on too.....

Can you understand that, or does it read all befuddled?

Si .... ''New scientist'' is full of this sort of stuff, plus I have a subscription to a taxonomy site that often offers papers on palaeontology........ Plus of course I'm a nerdy freakoid
