airbrushing a dino

[Peter Gillson]

It has been a while since I used my airbrush, so a quick look at my stash for sometying quick to build resulted in a Tamiya T Rex.

A simple kit built and airbrushed in an evening - the longest stage was waiting for some filler to dry!

It was painted freehand using Vallejo Air paints.



Not brilliant but fun, and sometimes a quick, fun project is just the job.

How big is the litter tray and one hell of a guard dog lol

he is looking good,do like the sandy color,nice blending,on him,

 

[Peter Gillson]

Pete - I keep away from cars, far too hard for me. The last I tried was over 20 years ago. It was a Morgan and I made a real hash of it, junking it halfway through.

Bob - no need for a litter tray, he's fully house trained.

Monica - I expect it was because I was doing something just to practice airbrushing and for fun with no real expectation of the results I was relaxed and it just worked out ok.

Hi Peter
Nice job and you aren't going to get flack that the colour is not exactly right.

Thanks for the compliments guys


Jim - there are probably more arguments about the colours of dinosaurs than German tanks!!

Great stuff Peter, and a nice piece to get some AB practice in on. I haven't used one since they tried to train us at college. Our tutor was a woman called Joan Smith who sometimes did work for the film industry - she doctored the photograph in The Shining that puts Jack Nicholson into a picture taken in the hotel in the 1930s.

Funny to think that the way we think about the appearance of T-Rex has changed so much recently. Can't get over the fact that they were feathered, though it's nice to think that their ancestors are flitting around the garden today.

Ah, but which dunkelgelb Peter!

 

[Peter Gillson]

I have really enjoyed reading through this blog. Terrific stuff Peter. It seems you are not the first to suggest using German dinos



Just need a few German crosses and you can call it done
