            That's brilliant!!! Why not use DIY tester pots or something equally cheap for the base coat????? Just a thought......

              Hi Neil
              That is very impressive. As no-one knows for sure what colour T Rex was you can do whatever you fancy.

                  Well Mr. Merryweather,

                  I see there is no bounds to your incredible talents. This project is totally outrageous and superbly done!!! If I may suggest, You might want to go to the local hardware store and have them mix up a gallon of original T-Rex color for you. I'm sure if they are reputable they will have it in the color chart. I also don't think it would be too expensive in acrylic paint....

                  Now if all else fails, there is always the local 1 pound shop that carries acrylic paints and you would have to mix your own. For a man of your strengths, that should create no problems at all. Wonderful work Neil!!!

                  Prost
                  Allen

                  PS, payment to the usual account please..............

                                Thanks John
                                I wish I had a 3D pen like yours for the repairs. I use 2.85mm filament and in this country they are quite expensive or have to imported from the US, which amounts to the same thing in the end. There are cheap ones but they use 1.75mm, which I don't want to get into or I'll have to stock both sizes.
                                still I got away with the soldering iron for this one.
                                glad you approve
