This is looking great! I think I want one hehehe! I'm actually thinking of trying my hand at sculpting myself, and I think I'm gonna make myself some 1:1 dinosaur heads and mount them on trophy shields. ;)
UPDATE - Where've I been, my other hobbies, and how to navigate my Flickr:

Looking really good so far. The cats may be relaxed around it now, but just wait....

One of the things I intend to do when I'm done with this guy. ;)

Thanks guys!

I have come to the conclusion that this guy will be called 'Flicker' (due to a song stuck in my head). I'm currently fleshing out the body:



Kayakasaurus

That's cool! I've been working on a 1:1 as well, and it would go perfectly with your velociraptor. Can you guess what it's going to be?

Cool would be a Therizinosaurus, but I'm guessing Protoceratops? :) In any case: show us, please!

Anyway: Here is the first foot almost completed. I really like how the toes turned out so far!

jooooo

Wow, its getting even better, and i didnt mean functional flight feathers just a remnant.

Pachyrhinosaurus

Very good progress so far! I was going to make an archaeopteryx a while back using similar techniques (actually foam instead); never got around to it. Maybe this project is just what I need to motivate me to do it. Great work, I can't wait to see how it progresses.

Thanks, everyone! Since the weather today is pretty much the worst, I'll be working a lot on the model later on (after I've actually woken up and got some coffee...)

You should absolutely go for it!

Thanks edu! I'll have to figure out how to ship these, since I probably won't be keeping this guy anyway. ;)

Progress on the other half:




He is about 5 - 10% too big, I only just realized. His hip is 60cm tall (while apparently they should have been around 50cm), I'll just pretend he's an extraordinarily big male. :D

Mmmmm... i'd be really interested!

Perhaps you could sell the armatures with eyes as kits?

It looks really good, can hardly wait to see it with feathers!

I decided to work with paper mache and maybe real feathers, if I can get my hands on them, otherwise I'll use fake fur to imitate emu-like feathers for the body. I'll keep you guys posted.
Didn't you say a while ago that you got a lot of duck and chicken feathers that you were going to use on it?

Anyway, great progress so far, I can't wait to see it finished :)!

Scott Hartman pointed out once that all animals have minor variations even if we can't see them. That's reduced a lot of my stress... ;)

Yeah, I thought I'd get them but never heard of the person again, sadly. :/

My thoughts exactly. :D
