|  | Modifying Chinasaurs
« Thread Started on Mar 10, 2012, 9:53pm » | |
I've decided to customize many of my little (and some not so little) chinasaurs into accurate 1:40 scale replicas. They are mostly little nameless bin figures and few old Safari tube figures. Ones I've been able to identify include Panini, Animal Planet/Discovery, and K & M int. I plan on using a combination of Sculpey clay (for new heads and limbs) and epoxy.
I was hoping to see if anyone had any tips on modifying such small figures, especially on things like correcting limbs and postures, adding feathers, how to best apply epoxy, etc.
Thanks in advance! 
PS: Also plan on modifying some name brand figures like the Papo Velociraptor into a Utahraptor and the old orange Safari Spino into a Suchomimus. Any thoughts?

I'm afraid I can't offer any advice (I don't sculpt and have never used Sculpy/epoxy before) but I am interested in seeing what you come up with.
