Tamiya T-Rex

[bilbo]

So this is where I'm at as of today.

Head attached, tongue painted, and inside mouth painted, not that you can see. so Imagine (if you will) the most brilliantly painted tongue it is amazingly life like, now rapidly move to the exact opposite of that and you;re closer to what I have managed to achieve.

And whilst I was waiting for all the filler to dry I found this fella in the stash too

For the steggy I'm thinking of a colour scheme of something like this:

yup that's a Cayman blue Iguana.
Now this is normally where my blogs peter out on the basis I really dislike painting. but my plan for T-Rex is as follows.

Prime, spray with Tamiya flat flesh, mask and spray gloss black. worry about how to paint reptile eyes, teeth & claws.

Thanks for checking in, any advice, comments or abuse welcomed.

Using heavily thinned flat black paint to slowly build up the black colour.

Cannot help thinking that it looks more like:

Will look at making the pink more orange, and then invest in some blue tack to get the right stripey look.
