Krentz Presentz T-Rex

#1 Post by kevtk135 »

I had this KP T-Rex hanging around seemingly forever, and decided it's time to give him some color.
I got so into it, that I forgot to take any WIP pics - but it's my typical layering approach.

I felt it also needed something for and a little resin oval for a base. So out came some scraps of foam. I was doing 3 bases at the same time so the Rex base is lower right -

Added some colors and poured some realistic water into the cutout -

Time to try him out-

I added some painted aquarium plants - ALWAYS paint aquarium plants, even if they are already green. I also took a twig, and with a downed Monkey Puzzle tree in mind, added glue to the branch tips. Then with a static grass applicator, added some dead grass.

This completed the simple base. Thanks for looking.

Thanks!
I've been having special help from my Opti-visors for years now. The trick is I wear them over my glasses. With the glasses (I have bi-focals) on the end of my nose, and by adjusting my line of sight, I can have up to 3 levels of magnification. ;)
