Tyrantqueen's Caboodle

[tyrantqueen]

Am very interested in either one or both of the adults in the first image, and in image 3 both Juveniles....I think your printed version looks rather nice actually. Let me know what you think...I would consider chipping in for the cost of the file you purchased if that helps.

Sure, I'll send you a PM.

And now for something completely different. Thalassodromeus



He's going to for a soak in a tub of degreaser to remove that Shapeways grease

Very nice! Is that one of Raul Lunia's?

Nice model! Can you tell me more about the degreaser you're using? I'm still looking for a better way to remove the Shapeways grease.

There are going to be some very interesting pterosaur resin models in the nearer future and I think they're going to be awesome, ....... but I should not disclose too much .

Fantastic model!

Sure. I use an industrial degreaser. It's actually stuff people use to wash their cars. It sounds weird but so far I've hard good results with it. It is safe for all domestic surfaces (including plastic) and can be used to strip paint (but it doesn't harm the factory paints on toys and such). Like if I am trying to repaint a model, but I muck it up, I can just put it in this stuff for a few days and the paint falls away.



I know some people like to use household products like oven cleaner to remove paint and dirt. But I've tried those and they didn't always work for me. Industrial degreasers are intended to strip dirt and grime, it's what they are designed for.

I'm not sure about other brands but it is a good idea to search for something water based, plastic friendly and bio-degradable. The only downside I've discovered so far is the need to wear gloves, because it will irritate the skin if it comes into contact with it. Also, protect your eyes.

I've used it for solid models so far, but as for ones with holes, you would need to be very thorough and let the model dry properly. If it got stuck inside I imagine it would cause problems with the dripping everywhere.

Ooooh, interesting

what scale did you use for printing?

It's a small size...about 9cm across. This was really just a test to see how a pterosaur would turn out. I might try some larger sizes later, maybe when I've learned how to hollow stuff out.

[postsaurischian]

Thanks for the degreaser info . I should give this a try.

very cool Thalassodromeus, TQ.
re: the degreaser you use, does it remove marker pen marks/paint smudges on plastic toys too?

I don't know...I can do a test to find out, if you're curious.

[sauroid]

that would be great. thanks, TQ.

[tyrantqueen]

I did a test. I found a chinasaur and scribbled all over it with biro pen, coloured pencil and Sharpie permanent ink. I chucked it into the degreaser tub and left it for a day. When I took it out, all the biro and pencil was completely gone. The top layer of Sharpie ink came off easily, but there was still a slight dark smudge of it left behind. I think if I had left it in longer (maybe a week) the stain would have gone completely.

So, it might be worth a try. I hope this answers your question somehow

[sauroid]

wow thanks TQ. i will try this product asap.

[tyrantqueen]

I got my Trcic galloping Triceratops today, which I won from YAJ for £30 (before the other fees were added to it).



The only complaint I have is that it seems to be permanently attached to the wooden plinth. But other than that (and the other most obvious inaccuracy) I like it.

[Megalosaurus]

I got my Trcic galloping Triceratops today[...]

Its NOT galloping. Its BREAK DANCING!


Yes, its a beatiful piece. Also like your Thalassodromeus.

[Invicta Hunter]

Very nice statue and for £30 that's great.
What's the size of it?

[tyrantqueen]

Thanks It's about 36cm long from nose to tail.

[Pinkamena]

You have an amazing collection!

I got my Kaiyodo 1/20 Allosaurus today. I won it from YAJ for £11.41, so I'm happy.

I need one of these, rugby players legs and all!  Must go stalk eBay.

[Invicta Hunter]

Thanks It's about 36cm long from nose to tail.

That's pretty big, if you ever see another one for that kind of price come up for sale please let me know i would love to get one.
