Amazing job Himmapan. Love the scheme and how it looks exactly like your illustration.
Looking forward to see the feathered critter. ;D

Thank you, Arioch!
I've just finished all the resculpting on the feathered critter not half an hour ago. I'm a little excited about it, truth be told. But I'm having to wait for the last bits to cure before I can prime it, so I may have to wait til tomorrow to show it, which is a little... annoying. Not that it makes any difference, but, well...

This is exciting can't wait to see what it is! Your paint work on the Giga is amazing Niroot, absolutely beautiful!

Thank you, Harriet! Now I'm even more afraid to continue it. ;D Well, here is something of an anticlimax: my Papo 'Ovinutrix' custom (if you missed my resolution to informally call this dinosaur by this name, it is here). Having primed it for painting, some of the very fine details got obscured, whilst the cruder areas got emphasized. I had expected this, but I'm still a little taken aback by how far that turned out to be the case. The next one will be better, I hope. I think the right side is much better overall. The left... leaves something to be desired. And because I always enjoy seeing progress pictures, here are a few in case anyone else does. Egg removed and hands neutralised. Feathers started. I was aiming for rattite-like feathers at first, so had to see them through. I think I would prefer smoother, less hair-like feathers next time. Other side. One wing. Tail. And another view. There is some feather detail on the underside too, but only on the fan area; the streamers were too awkward to bother with beneath. Anyway, having felt rather excited about it after finishing all the resculpting, I'm now a little disappointed. Perhaps it will improve slightly after painting. The next feathered dinosaur (whenever that comes into being) will hopefully be better.

Yes, yes, yes! That is really good, you're going to have fun painting it. ;D And that is not an "anticlimax". Far from it! Congrats!! I'm jealous! ;D

I love the addition of the tail-plumes! Can't wait to see this one painted!

That is how Papo should have made it in the first place. Absolutely wonderful work.

Astounding! I never thought it'd be possible to save the Papo Oviraptor accuracy-wise!

That is absolutely beautiful! The best dinosaur toy model I have ever encountered. If only, it was like that in the first place.

That is a lucky oviraptor! The naked one must be jealous now.

Incredible! I wish I was that good, but my attempt at making inaccurate dinosaurs accurate is a few bits of blu-tack stuck in a strange pattern on the back and arms of an AAA Utahraptor!

Oh, wow... Thank you so much for your very kind comments, everyone. I really am truly grateful. What materials have you used to sculpt the feathers?
