paleoferroequine's dio dino customs
« Thread Started on Jul 13, 2010, 12:49am »
Yow!! Started this earlier and a storm knocked out the electricity. Well here are some of the dinos. The Albertosaurus were converted from Carnegies with a lot of cut and paste and epoxy putty. The spiky bits(I love spiky bits) were done with epoxy putty. Of course the Pachys are Papo. One was shown before, but since then quills were added(did I mention I love spiky bits?) and also belly scales.And one has the head and legs modified.

Wow, very cool and impressive work! Love the Albertos and the paint and belly scales on the Pachys, but not so sure about the porcupine butts on them though, hehe. ;D

BTW, what and where are those little Dromaeosaurs from? They're also great!

...hehehe yeah, he said butts..hehehehe :P I figured since I was implying possible scavenging by the Pachys, might as well go whole hog and punk them up more ;D The Albertos head bits are fragile and may not travel well. I might convert some for sale though if I can figure out something tougher than epoxy putty. The dromaeosaurs are Ral Partha metal(long gone from production,pity :-/) velociraptors with epoxy putty feathers. They scale out to 7.5 ft long.

Ah yes, I can now see the metal bases on them. Wow, you are good! I swear those feather details looked like they were already a part of them. I was just guessing that maybe you had just custom painted them only. And they are sooooo small!!! Amazing!

And yes, I said "butts." BUTTS, BUTTS, BUTTS! Kind of a fun word, yes?! Hehe! ;D But, maybe it was a bit 'asinine' of me to use it here on such a scientific forum. :P 8-)

No, these are all with a brush using acrylics from a craft store and Tamiya acrylics. after all the colors are done it is sealed with clear matte finish from a spray can and then a wash of black ink or acrylic thinned with water and a small amount of alcohol(to get rid of surface tension) is applied. Then it is dry brushed with various light shades of gray or sand. This is all a matter of practice. I paint the eyes white first and then the color. For the pupil I use a push pin or map pin to make an indentation and then fill with black, the hole keeps the pupil round. If there are any terms which you are not familiar with just ask ;D

Thank you. I like the crests, but they are too fragile being made out of epoxy putty. They keep breaking off if you look at them crosseyed! ;D From now I'm going to make them out of soft metal like lead or out of a different Sculpey clay called Mold Maker that remains flexible after it is baked. Then I will glue them on.

Oh, yes, I'd heard of that flexible Sculpey and have been longing to try it myself. I've seen that it's even possible to make poseable figures with it (with wire encased within the relevent parts, of course) - not that I would myself, but that sort of flexibilty in a modelling material just sounds amazing.

Thanks ;D
Well, the legs are sliced off at the thighs and glued back on with gap filling superglue. Other joints are cut with a v shaped slice and wedges of wood are used for spacers. Epoxy putty is then used to fill in the gaps and re-textured. Here's a picture of a different dino showing what it looks like before the putty.[image]

OK, first up, these are awesome, and great paint jobs on all. Just [anal] not sure about the legs on that crouching Albertosaurus. Are the proportions a little out of whack or am I imagining it? [/anal]

Love the pachyrhinosaurs and dromaeosaurs of course. They're fantastic.

Well, yes and no, the legs are the same measurements as the stock Alberto but the cuts to bend the legs are taken out of the gastocnemius and ilio tibial muscle, I think that's the right name (the rear thigh and calf). The knee joint is left intact. But that leaves the back of the knee area too thick and makes the lower leg appear to be too short. Also the entire thigh is repositioned forward making it worse. If you notice on the picture above of the Eotyrranus I made the cut on the front of the knee instead of the back, that prevents that illusion. I do learn from mistakes! ;D
