You will notice the mandibles are missing. It's easier to paint those separately and attach them later. Interesting to see the differences between these two, especially the skull size, since overall they are similar in length. I already have a color scheme in mind for the Giga, but am open to suggestions for the Allo!


:) I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product!


Same here, they are such wonderful models :D

They are indeed. :)

Radman, I almost did the exact same thing in leaving the lower jaw unattached for ease of painting, but knowing that it will be another century or so before I get the chance to paint, the sight began to bother me, so I changed my mind and glued it on.

Hopefully it won't take me that long, Himma. ;)

In fact, now you've inspired me, all I really need to do is bust out the purple, pink and off-white paints and some blackwash - once that is done I'll glue the mandibles on... Don't even need to be real careful about it as the exterior will be recoated. Anyway, watch this spot in the next few weeks, hopefully I'll be able to get to it. Still busy with Little League and garden maintenance! ;) ;D

Looking back, I'm not sure the previous photos really captured the spirit of the model. The light was too harsh somehow. So I'm adding two more pix.

I want to visit the land of giant ivy. ;D

Another great one, Mr Radman. :) I really like the weary, scruffy, dusty look.

Thanks Niroot!
Normally, I think of Deinos in lush grassland or swampy terrain, even, but the base on this one was obviously cracked mud, which could have just been near a lake or river, but I did want to convey an animal that had taken a long weary journey and was dusty and dirty.

Very nice!. I love the way you made him all dusty, but he doesn't have to be dusty because he was in the desert, maybe he was just recently wallowing in the mud ;D.

In case anyone was wondering about the Deinotherium's size -

[image]

Comparable to the Safari Ambelodon, smaller than the Bullyland, although the legs are shaped much better, among other things.

I'll probably end up redoing the whole thing sometime anyway :P

Here is a WIP shot of the recent Krentz set of Acro and Tenonto:

[image]

All of the current status was done by pastel powder and pencil, but there's a limit to what you can do with that. I fix the powder with a flat laquer and after a few sprays no more powder sticks so you gotta move to acrylics or something else. I'll fix up the fine details with acrylics, hopefully this weekend, so stay tuned, they may turn out totally different! No blackwash has been done either. The Krentz resin models and the Shapeways models take well to the powder approach, but the hard plastic, i.e., Acheson do not. So, experiment and have fun!

I was thinking the same thing about the Primaeval Designs Deinotherium. And always nice to see WIP photos, Radman. :) It's nice how the pigments bring out the incredible detail of these models. I had similar experiences with dry pigments, they stick excellently onto the shapeways "White, Strong & Flexible" but are problematic on very smooth surfaces. By the way, I paint the base colour with acrylics first and then cover it with pigments. And quite a lot of fixative spray is required, I'll probably never buy a 150 ml can again...

Here is Angie Rodriguez's 1:50 or so Gryposaurus:

I really had a lot of fun with this one.
This was done almost entirely with pastel chalk brushing and pencils, some Sharpie pen for the eyeballs, but that's about it...

The grass is a "pot-topper" or "soiltopper" from Michael's, I think. They also come in moss flavors at AC Moore or your favorite craft store. 1-3 bucks depending on size!
