T. rex head model

DinoToyForum · May 04, 2021, 12:07:38 PM

Can anyone recommend a good quality off-the-shelf full-size T. rex head model? A fleshed out model, preferably with lips? Something like this, but a whole head: https://www.theprehistoricstore.com/products/5-foot-life-sized-wall-mountable-display?_pos=13&_sid=b0900043f&_ss=r

That is a very good question. You may want to try positing that question on social media. I can't think of any off the top of my head, sadly.

It seems like the sort of thing where there would be plenty of options, but there aren't! The Studio Oxmox one is probably best, but it's a rather Jurassic Park-inspired design with an overbite: https://www.urzeitshop.de/gb/98-studio-oxmox

Honestly, the best life-sized T. rex sculptures I've seen that feature lips are the ones from Blue Rhino. They did that awesome Sue rendition for the Field recently. They're based in the US, naturally, and I have no idea what they would charge for a sculpt of just a head. May want to contact them?

I think the one you posted John Mac sculpted? Is about the best one out there. I would message him and see if they have any plans to do a full one. I know he mentioned it before. They are a bit much, but that's to be expected. I'm still trying to save to get a full Rex skull for the Park from him.

You could also hire an artist to sculpt one. Andrew Cocks might be an option? He does great work.

Yeah, I've seen Cocks' work floating around on Facebook and it's impressive. Plus I think he's based in the UK.

Been following him since I started my pliosaur. Can't wait to see what he wants for those skull replicas they look fantastic
