Look forward to seeing your lighted T-rex Trek!

So true. (He can at least make his eyes light up. That should be a 'cinch')

Well now that you mention it… on the subject of models…

How about I show the T-Rex at the exact moment a time traveling drone fired rocket explodes out it’s side? Another trophy for a big game hunter sitting on his couch in the future controlling the action remotely. I could light up the explosion with LED’s !

A quick hour of work tonight brought the putty up both sides of the neck, leaving just 2 small gaps on each side to be puttied. As I said - "This is going to be big, really, really BIG" (thanks Shat and Priceline.com for that gem)

OMG Scuzz ... that is SUCH old-time "fake news"!!!! Sauropods lived on plains, not in swamps!

After a week of suffering under some flu/Covid crud (or something), finally felt good enough today to go into the garage. Major putty progress to report. Still need to finish filling in/texturizing the left side of the neck (just put "fill" in today), but the right side (the GOOD side ) is basically done, with just some more small area re-sculpting finishes and texture to be added ... filled in a bit more of the tail to even it out ...

Glad that you are feeling better and making progress!
I like big kits, and your huge Dino is fantastic !

Thank you Joe .... and someday, when someone designs and prints up something this size on their printer for "neat assembly" .... the world will grow a little poorer for a chance to CREATE art - will have been lost ... (I just listened to the last MCTV episode ... and them's my thoughts ... to me, "printed" kits are like cast resin kits .... 99% of them are of no interest to me because .... BASHING is my art - with my HANDS! )

P.S. I believe you understand EXACTLY what I mean

P.P.S. Of course, I am not opposed to taking a printed (or cast) resin kit and BASHING it into something else - like my "Kong Up Top" series - I just wanna be clear about that

Glad you are feeling better.
At least you have an excuse for being away from the bench, I haven't been to mine in 5 days and for no reason other than 'I am not feeling it'

[scuzzfink85]

Then using folk art color shifting paints it will make his dinosaur extra special..
Or use glow in dark paint.?

Maybe. We'll see what I can come up with. Its a little intimidating. I mean - its gonna take a long time just to PRIME it - you can't do more than one side at a time its so big ...

Be sure you wear a mask. Also buy some liqutex gel retarder. You can oil like washes with just add little water with it when mixed with acrylics.
