W-I-P pics of a Spitter model. This is actually a little smaller than the Horizon Kit, and probably measures approx 1.5 ft long. It still needs the crest added and the left foot re-attached. ;D

Good Job. Ever plan on selling one?

I may do. It is smaller than the Horizon Spitter, so might be more suitable for certain dioramas and other dinosaur model displays and layouts. I'd like to do a version of it with a completely different colour scheme to the movie too. Perhaps I'll do a male and female together.

That would be great to see.
I'm a very good sculptor myself, but How do you make the dinosaurs so accurate?
Any tips?

Try and acquire some 'perfect' side view illistrations of the concept art or photographs of maquettes showing the side and enlarge that to use as a template. You could even just create a wire frame and place it on top of the image to get the proportions correct. Also, lots of close ups of the dinosaurs for the finer details, and top, side, bottom, front images of the dinosaur help a lot to get the bulk and shape right. That is always a good start for me! Once I've done all that, I just basically keep working on it and making alterations if need be until it looks just right and captures the look of the original dinosaur. I'm never happy until it's really spot on! I can assist you in finding some of these pictures if you like?

That's Interesting. Never thought of doing that.
I would definitely like some dinosaur pictures for reference. Thank you.
Also what kind of sculpting clay do you use? Do you know any kind of clay that would turn into rubber?

I use an oil based clay called Roma Grade 2 on the very large models, and Grade 4 on the smaller stuff (nice and hard so holds lots of fine detail). Occassionally I will use wet clay on large models that can be finished quickly, such as my 1/1 Raptor nest.

You should make a whole series of these. Make them in scale.

if you sell une how muc5 would you sell it for in usd? Difficult to say at this time. For an unpainted model kit, maybe £25 - $37.
