Hey guys,
some time ago I bought a small lot of Dino Riders parts at eBay. One of those was Rudi the Raptor. Unfortunately his tail was broken and I nearly decided to through him away.
One day I found him like this:

My mother decided to put a bandage on his broken tail

But it was sad... the other Raptors still kept making jokes about him...
So i decided: Rudi needs a new tail!!!
A few tries later it was done. I used silicone to create a negative from another Raptor and cast resin to give him a new tail:


It came out great, but the color was still a little odd

So Rudi had to get a paintjob. I googled a lot of Raptor pictures and finally he should become green, because there never was a green Raptor at Dino Riders:
This was the first base coat with acryllic paint:

And this is the outcome after washing, drybrushing and adding some yellow, blue and gray for the claws:



Now Rudi is happy and waits for his saddle to join the Dino Riders

Tell me what you think about him

PS: I know technically he is a Deinonychus, but Rudi the Raptor sounds a lot cooler
