Taking a short break from "HUMUNGUOUS" to finish my third and last "Kong Up Top 2.0" bash. Then I'll start painting this monster. :mrgreen:

Hey Joe - I forgot to ask you last week (I'll post this instead of sending a PM as the answer could be useful to other modelers):

Can you "hook me up" with the guy who made those custom spikes for one of your earlier dragon bashes? I would dearly love to give my Brachiosaurus a row of spikes down the back! :mrgreen:

Thanks in advance for your reply - hope he can help me out. :thumb2: :jam:

Sure ! I got them from “jinxedco” on eBay.
I suggest that you send him an email from eBay and specify what size spikes (height width, diameter) that you need. He can make you various sizes too.
He is great to deal with.
I will give him a heads up to expect an email from you.

I sent “jinxedco” (his name is John) an email and he has already responded that he is happy to try and help you out .

Also, I really like your idea to add spikes ! That will look very cool no doubt!

I guess I'm silly enough to roll my own spikes with a 20 gauge wire..
And I make my own teeth for projects too..

Thanks Joe! I need to plan out the # and size of the spikes and will then reach out to him via ebay (unless you have his real email address :wink: )

I used to do that too Scuzz , but the printed spikes are very cheap and save me tons of time.
And since I use spikes on just about every bash that I do, I am very happy that I found a guy that quickly provides custom sized spikes in any size that I specify.
But I totally respect that you still make them individually by hand!

Catching up with your build Vlad. Looking very impressive. Looking forward to seeing the paint up. Oh, and the spikes.

Just ordered 100 spikes from Joe's supplier. Super cheap, too. If this works out ... well I can probably use them on lots of my dinos! 🤗

Joe - do you just glue them? Or do you insert a small wire to give them more "hold"? Trying to plan this out. (With this many spikes just gluing them is probably the only sane way to go?) :alcoholic:
