Original Plesiosaur Sculpture

[smashtoad]

Hi All,

I sculpted this grinning plesiosaur several years ago and have decided to sell it.  If anyone is interested let me know and we can work something out.  I am considering a re-paint.  If someone is interested they can direct that scheme.  Thanks.

The sculpt is almost 18" long and weighs about three pounds.  The stand and support rod have since been painted black.  The texture was done by stippling with a toothpick and covers the entire dorsal surface.

I was admiring when my eyes got to the face and... Ahh! It's Pong Krell! Still a neat sculpture though. Any interest in doing some sculpting again?

Thanks all...I think!  You guys are nuts.  I don't know who those characters are...is it anime stuff?

Just an FYI for those who may find dimensional issues with the piece...which I call "Grinning Nessie":  I used no anatomical measurements or anything when sculpting her.  Just sculpted her by eye.  She was originally going to be a Kronosaurus, but I changed direction when I broke the Krono head...argh.

Kayakasaurus...I am in the middle of sculpting a phorusrhacoid now.  I am calling it Brontornis horridus.  The head and body are done and ready for paint, but the legs are fighting me.  I'd love to sculpt it freestanding, but won't.  I bought a nice flat burl stand for her.  She'll be about 13" tall when done.

Here's a little pictorial journey of some progress.

Looking good! I'm glad you joined the forum, and yes, I will profess to being a nut  . With the smile on that Nessie, I suspect you have a nutty streak or two as well  .

Really wonderful sculptures  . You are really talented  .

Fantastic sculpts!

Thanks guys.  I'm glad I found this forum.  I am really looking forward to the future of dino figures.  When I look at my Papo Allosaurus and think, "I paid $16 for this."...it blows my mind.

Your sculptures are super cool bro! I like how they each have their own character to them.
The plesiosaur kind of reminds me of Randall from Monsters, Inc. in the face. I can totally see these as being characters in a Pixar/Disney-like film.

Thanks Kovu.  Randall...I never made that connection but you are right...she does resemble Randall...a lot actually.
