Hey all. Back this time with a little kit of a Pterosaur by it's nest. This model has been on my table seemingly forever. I picked up this kit during one of Shane Foulkes' "collection selling" sales. I have no info on it. I'm assuming that part of it was already started. The reeds in the background seem to have been glued in place. I'm guessing the 2 eggs may also have been previously installed. So all that was left for me was to paint up the animal and base.
As with all resin kits, things start off with a soapy wash and a prime with Stynylrez black primer -
For whatever reason I always seem to start with the base first and while the reeds reminded me of a marshy area, the rest of the ground seemed to say otherwise, so things were painted up to be high and dry. There are a few moulded in Gingko leaves, but I raided the wife's spice rack, and added a little more texture to the ground work. I also too some basil and stuffed it in and around the eggs -
Now on to the animal. Whether it is a baby as has been suggested or the female looking out for the eggs, both seem to me would not be brightly colored to bring attention to itself. So I painting in mute colors, matching closely with the groundwork. Thanks for looking.

Looks great.
Nice fun little kit.
If you know what the setting looks like, you can use that to decide what color the critter is gonna be.
