Deinonychus

#1 Post by kevtk135 »

The actual full title is Deinonychus: The Wolf of the Early Cretaceous. This kit was the result of a Kickstarter from 2015. The creative guy behind this is Nick Fonseca. His website isn't up but his work can be found on DeviantArt.

The kit is 1/5 scale and is 24" long. It comes in 8 parts - the face, body/ tail, 2 arms, 2 legs and a rocky base.
After a wash, I gave the kit a once over, and there was some small instances of a seam here and there.

This is where the model sat and sat.
In all honesty, I usually don't start painting until I get an idea. VERY few times that idea never comes. This is one of those times. So I stuck to colors that went along with the tan Stynylrez primer, and threw in the red for contrast. A few washes later, I glossed the eyes and mouth, and put satin on the claws, and I was calling this one done. Thanks for looking.
