Now that is a splendid idea, Marc! *Candle above head (yeah, I can't manage an incandescent bulb)* I like it very much. Soon it will be real hard to manage an incandescent bulb, they will be mostly illegal and very hard to find! ;D Very true. ;D Energy-saving compact fluorescents for the win! ;D |

What brand of pastels do you use?

Well, congrats... you beat me to yet another idea! ;D I started a feathered egg-dribbler months ago, but decided I wasn't up to the job. (Bloody feathers! How do they work?)
Good to see someone really talented take it on - yours is fantastic!

Thank you, Ingunn! That must be an exceptionally rare thing: my actually beating someone to something! I still think you should continue yours though. I recall seeing you do feathered dinosaurs before and they were great! What brand of pastels do you use? Sorry, Jhudstone, I must have missed your post for some reason! I use mostly Inscribe pastels for the models, but also a few colours from Sennelier and Rembrandt. I don't think it matters which brand you use though.  |

David Krentz's Antediluvian T. rex. I used this drawing as colour guide, but decided to do without the red markings I'd originally planned for the flanks. I felt they'd be too intrusive on this scale, though they could probably work better on a larger model. Please excuse the numerous pictures. The lighting turned out differently in each, so I thought I'd include a number of them to give a better idea of the actual thing.    I think this side turned out a little better than the 'display side', which is rather inconvenient.  This is perhaps my favourite picture, being the most faithful to the original.   I know, I know, I seem to paint in just this range of colours at the moment. I can't help it, I'm very fond of earth reds and browns. |

Beautiful work, Niroot. I'm also a big fan of the earth tones. Ironically, that T. rex is the one Antediluvian that I lack; I have the "foot up" version. Look forward to seeing more.  |

I think you should also paint David's new shapeways Tyrannosaurus. That would be nice... |

Thank you, Christian. I'd love the 'foot up' version, but it can't be got now for love or money, it seems. I think you should also paint David's new shapeways Tyrannosaurus. That would be nice... I'd love to one day. I'm afraid I can't afford it yet though. |
